Green Carpet Challenge

Outlandish, elegant fashion is the name of the game at the Met Ball. This year’s “China: Through The Looking Glass” theme brought a wide range looks, from Anne Hathaway’s Ralph Lauren hoodie dress to Beyoncé’s barely-there Givenchy gown. Livia Firth decided to stand out from the crowd via the “green”-ness of her striking red dress by Antonio Berardi. The dress is completely composed of Newlife fabric, a textile woven from yarn spun from 100% recycled plastic bottles. The dress is an adaptation of a garment Berardi create for Firth’s Green Carpet Challenge in 2012, reconstructed with a Chinese twist.
