The ability to make a sartorial statement while walking the red carpet is one of the most important aspects of becoming a star. Reusing old but photogenic clothing is, despite the increasing inventiveness of fashion designers, still one of the most reliable methods for being noticed. In point of fact, it helps us experience an even greater sense of connection to our favorite celebrities, so why don't we have a look at some of the outfits that they've worn on several occasions?

When she turned up to the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars party wearing the same costume twice, Rebel Wilson set a new standard. The Pitch Perfect actress donned the same stunning gown to the Oscars that she wore three years ago, despite having shed 80 pounds. Regardless of the degree of tailoring, Rebel looked radiant in the gold gown.
2. Cate Blanchett

When Cate Blanchett wore this stunning ensemble for the first time in 2016, we all assumed it was a dress. It wasn't until Blanchett wore the top again, this time with slacks, four years later that we understood the gorgeous flower-embroidered item was a top she could wear with anything and still look stunning.
3. Helena Bonham Carter

Helena donned this stunning black and white gown for the first time at the 2011 SAG Awards. Clearly pleased with her appearance, the actress didn't wait too long before wearing the same outfit to the Opening Gala of the following year's London Film Festival. It's impossible to pick a favorite Bonham appearance.
4. Helen Mirren

Sneaky Helen Mirren may have believed that by wearing different cardigans, we wouldn't notice that she was repeating an outfit, but we definitely did not miss the first time she wore that stunning floral dress. In 2012, Mirren wore the dress at the premiere of Hitchcock, and in 2015, she wore it again to the premiere of Midsummer Night's Dream.
5. Kate Middleton

Kate may have royal blood, but everyone knows her as the recycling champion. Middleton wore the same Alexander McQueen gown she wore at the 2021 BAFTAs to the 2023 ceremony. This year, instead of carrying flowers on her shoulder, Kate wore a draping bow and paired it with a statement piece: black gloves.

Rita Moreno donned the same dress to the 2018 Academy Awards as she wore to accept her first Oscar in 1962.

At the 2020 Academy Oscars, Jane Fonda will be remembered for wearing the same Elie Saab gown she wore to the 2014 Cannes Film Festival—along with a coat she got on sale and vowed would be her last.
