Miley Cyrus looks MARVELOUS. I love her Zuhair Murhad silver with black trims petal-tiered belted ballgown. The wide belt gave it a youthful touch. The dress is very Cinderella-esque era 2009. I think of all the red carpet look that Miley has sported, this is by far her best and my favorite. She looks like a glamourous princess tonight.

The dress has a gathered featherings on the top with a few white flowers around it. Vanessa looks beautiful.

Beyonce, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Tajari P. Henson after the fold..

Beyonce as usual is representing her own bizarre style in this House of Dereon Couture black strapless with embroidered gold leaf dress. I’m really not a big fan of this dress but then again I can count in my fingers the times I actually like anything that Beyonce wears at the red carpet. The gown she wore at the Inaugural Neighborhood Ball was probably the only dress I’ve liked from Beyonce. Oh well.

Sarah Jessica Princess is stunning in this Dior Haute Couture ‘barely mint’ belted strapless gown. I love the beaded details on the top.

Fashion's World 2011

Shoes made from tires, foam cups, magazines, and cork? Wallets made from inner tubes? Purses from noodle bags or plastic soda pop tabs? Dresses made from recycled paper?

What’s this all about? It’s called “recycled fashion”, and it’s becoming necessary as well as popular. Recycled fashion however, isn’t entirely a result of abstract creativity like the ones mentioned above. Each year, the average American throws away about 70 pounds of clothing each year and make up about 3% of our household waste. They end up in landfills and most don’t decompose.

Recycled fashion can be fun and economical. If you’re not one to wear a recycled paper dress, enjoy recycled fashion by shopping from second-hand stores and charity shops. You get great recycled fashion for a fraction of the price of new, and the charity shop will use your money to help their cause.

Or you could try this! Host a recycled fashion party with friends and neighbors. Bring clothes you no longer wear, have fun trying them all on, pick what you want, and designate someone to take the rest to the local charity outlet. Or, make your own from old jeans, dresses, and even curtains, (maybe even a noodle bag or two!)

I think I’m going to have fun learning more about recycled fashion. And I also absolutely love the image that I’ve included for this post! It just looks amazing!

If you can’t quite manage to make new clothes out of your old rubbish, then check out my links to the top right for TOMS, Tobi, and Organic Style. They all offer fashionable eco clothing!
