Cameron Diaz took part in Livia Firth´s Green Carpet Challenge at the Met Costume Institute Gala in New York on Monday night.
The Bad Teacher actress looked stunning in a custom-made Stella McCartney gown created from organic, certified silk adorned with thousands of glass beads and crystal chain as she attended the annual fashion event at the city´s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Green Carpet Challenge founder Livia Firth said: ´Yet again the GCC has been given a window on the supply chain and incredible technical processes involved in producing fashion at this level, and Stella McCartney has allowed us to influence this process.
´Our next goal is to tackle the sourcing of embellishment materials. Who knows, this time next year every attendee at the Met Ball might be in a complete GCC gown – that´s my dream!´
As founder of the initiative, of course Livia Firth wore a dress that met her green credentials too, dazzling in a sumptuous Prada piece. Made to conform to the GCC´s criteria, the black panelled gown mixed certified silks, tulle and chiffon with sustainably harvested ostrich feathers and end-of-line British-made lace.
Her jewellery was by Monique Pean, her clutch by Donna Karan from her project Naturally Haiti.
Jeweller Monique Pean also created Colin Firth’s studs and cufflinks for the evening, also conforming to the GCC criteria.
´Over the last three years, The Green Carpet Challenge has become an all consuming passion of mine,´ Livia said.
This part of the fashion landscape is so exciting because it’s genuinely revolutionary and relentlessly positive. It is absolutely the right time to take the challenge up a gear so we are working with our favourite world class designers and actors as GCC ambassadors.
The designers involved in the creation of the Met gala outfits joined a host of other fashion houses including Chanel, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and designer Tom Ford to create original eco-friendly dresses to be worn by stars on the red carpet during awards season and beyond.
