It might take a fair bit of infrastructure and some celebrity sponsorship, but green dressing on the red carpet is on the rise. At last night’s Oscars, several big names sported sustainably made dresses to which no critic could dare apply the adjective “crunchy.”

First, Missi Pyle, of the night’s big winner, The Artist, sported a dress made from cruelty-free silk and designed by Valentina Delfino, the winner of this year’s Red Carpet Green Dress contest. The organization, founded by Suzy Amis Cameron (James Cameron’s wife) seeks to promote sustainable dressing by employing its techniques in gowns worn at the Oscars. Pyle phrased the mission well, noting that “It was such an honor to wear this dress – to be on a carpet that’s all about glamour, and have that glamour be sustainable. To have so many people watching, and encourage them to question the purchases they make, feels relevant.”
