00:00This gown made its first appearance in 1962. Is that true?
00:06Yeah, when I picked up my Oscar.
00:09Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're looking at celebrities who successfully turned outfit repeating into a style statement.
00:16I feel like I should be able to wear what I want, when I want, however many times I want,
00:20as long as I Febreze-ed.
00:23Halle Berry's historic Oscars gown.
00:25You know, one thing that can get you out of that present is when you think about that moment when
00:29they say, and the Oscar goes too.
00:31Yeah, and I'm not thinking about that, and I haven't really until that moment. That's when I'll think about that,
00:35and I really haven't so far.
00:37While some red carpet looks go down in fashion history, others, like this Ellie Saab dress, became part of a
00:44history-making moment.
00:45In 2002, Halle Berry wore this deep red gown with a sheer floral top to the Oscars, where she became
00:52the first black woman to win Best Actress.
00:55You made history tonight. People will always remember you. How does that make you feel?
01:06Indescribable.
01:07Really?
01:09Right now, I don't have the words. Maybe in a week. When all of you have forgotten it, then I'll
01:13have the words, and I'll be able to tell you.
01:15Over 20 years later, she stepped out in the bold number once again, this time for a retrospective fashion show.
01:22The event recognized the garment as a symbol of her groundbreaking achievements, and the actress felt honored to re-wear
01:28a dress that was part of one of her life's biggest moments.
01:31And the Oscar goes to Halle Berry.
01:40Keira Knightley's Wedding Dress
01:42Style's about doing what you want. Style's about making yourself feel good. And if you feel good, then you'll look
01:47good.
01:47From star-studded events to tying the knot, Keira Knightley and this Chanel dress have been through a lot together.
01:54After debuting the strapless tulle number at a 2008 pre-BAPTA party, people were shocked to see the garment reappear
02:01a few years later in photos of the actress's private wedding.
02:05The star shared that she just wanted an outfit she had a great time in.
02:09And this wasn't the romantic mini dress's final moment in the spotlight.
02:13She restyled it once again for a gala in 2013.
02:17And even after an unfortunate red wine stain, Knightley admitted she's still happy with the memory of a good night.
02:23I think fun should always be taken very, very seriously. I think if you're not having fun in your life,
02:27then you're clearly not living it properly.
02:29Laura Dern's Black Armani Gown
02:31This Armani Privé number is so classic that it earned a red carpet three-peat.
02:36Literally no waste. 97% built on what already existed that wasn't used because there is so much waste in
02:44fashion.
02:44Laura Dern first wore the black dress with cutouts to a 90s gala before bringing back the chic look for
02:50the 2013 awards season.
02:52The sleek and timeless gown from her personal archives then made yet another appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscar party
02:59in 2020,
03:00this time styled with a blush pink blazer over her shoulders.
03:03From the early days of her career to celebrating her first Academy Award, Dern proved that both she and this
03:10dress will always be in style.
03:12You have to be true to yourself just like you are as an actor. You can't play model. Just, you
03:18know, be yourself.
03:19Jane Fonda's statement Ellie Saab look
03:22In 2019, Jane Fonda made a firm anti-consumerist commitment.
03:26You see this coat? I needed something red and so I went out and found this coat on sale.
03:34This is the last article of clothing that I'm going to ever buy.
03:37Inspired by Greta Thunberg and her own passion for environmental activism,
03:42the actress soon made good on her promise by bringing back an old red carpet look for the 2020 Oscars.
03:48Dressed in a beaded Ellie Saab gown that she'd previously worn in 2014,
03:53she styled the garment with ethical and sustainable jewelry and a familiar ruby jacket.
03:59Making sure to practice what she preaches,
04:02Fonda made a strong statement with her repurposed award show ensemble.
04:06I'm in my 70s before somebody says,
04:09oh, she's a, you know, great on the red carpet and she's a fashion icon.
04:13Moi? I hardly think so, but I've, you know, I've learned to fake it.
04:17Julia Roberts' meaningful pink gown.
04:19I hope that it creates conversation among you and I hope it creates space for not just talking,
04:27but listening, which is a key element that I feel we're losing the art of.
04:34While promoting her 2025 film After the Hunt,
04:37Julia Roberts wore many striking and memorable looks and her LA premiere dress was no exception.
04:43However, this wasn't the pink gown's first time on the red carpet.
04:47As the actress originally wore the Greta Constantine number in 2022,
04:52more than just a fashion statement,
04:53the star explained that she chose to re-wear the bright garment in honor of my best friend,
04:58who is a breast cancer survivor.
05:00Refreshed with new jewelry and a slightly different silhouette,
05:04the meaningful look was just as impactful the second time around.
05:07It's one of those things you wake up every day so filled with gratitude for the health of everyone that
05:13you know
05:13and go to sleep each night with the same thought.
05:16Jennifer Lopez's Versace jungle dress.
05:19Well, Jennifer, this is the first time in five or six years that I'm sure that nobody is looking at
05:24me.
05:26At the first Grammy Awards held in the new millennium,
05:29Jennifer Lopez arrived in a plunging green gown that was all anyone could talk about.
05:34More than just a pop culture moment,
05:36the dress caused such an outline phenomenon that it actually inspired the invention of the Google Images search function.
05:43So many people went searching for this and they had no way to search a picture at that time on
05:48the internet,
05:48so they created Google Images.
05:50Who knew?
05:52One person can't change the world!
05:54After wearing the look on Saturday Night Live in 2001,
05:57it wasn't until 2019 that JLo brought back the jungle print number once again.
06:03Not only was the runway walk an empowering moment for Lopez,
06:06but she was also honoring an iconic piece of Versace history.
06:1020 years ago, I wore a certain dress and it kind of made a little bit of a splash, I
06:20would say.
06:20At that time, and right now, we're about to have another moment.
06:26Tiffany Haddish's long-running joke dress.
06:29I am the funny girl in all my friendships, but I also have a lot of heart and a lot
06:34of depth in real life.
06:35I'm an onion, baby.
06:36Peel it back and get you some nutrition.
06:38On top of looking absolutely fantastic,
06:41this gown proved that Tiffany Haddish is a woman of her word.
06:44In her opening monologue on SNL in 2017,
06:48the comedian shut down outfit-repeating shamers with a promise to get her money's worth out of the designer dress.
06:54I'm gonna give a dang about no taboo.
06:56I spent a lot of money on this dress.
06:58This dress costs way more than my mortgage.
07:01This is Alexander McQueen, okay?
07:03It's a $4,000 dress.
07:05I'm gonna wear this dress multiple times.
07:07Sure enough, she proceeded to re-wear the Alexander McQueen number to multiple award shows and public appearances over the
07:15course of the next year.
07:16Defying Hollywood expectations, the joke both created buzz around the star and showed that Haddish wasn't afraid to play by
07:23her own rules.
07:24I'm having these huge moments in this dress.
07:30I spent so much money in, and it's like, and every time I wear it, it's like another huge moment.
07:36So maybe the next time I wear it'll be at my wedding reception.
07:39Rita Moreno's 1962 Oscar gown.
07:42I am here with a national treasure.
07:45That's right, Rita Moreno, who I want to be most days, okay?
07:50Rita, would you like to tell us about this gorgeous gown you're wearing tonight?
07:54Many celebrities have brought back historical fashion worn by other Hollywood icons, but in Rita Moreno's case, she could just
08:01reach into her own closet.
08:03In 1962, the actress chose a gold patterned fabric from the Philippines to wear to the Oscars, where she ended
08:10up receiving her first Academy Award.
08:12Several decades later, the EGOT winner revived the gown for the same event, this time altering the top and adding
08:19some striking accessories.
08:21How did it keep so brilliantly?
08:22I know, I would think it would tarnish.
08:26I have things that in a year look terrible, this is amazing.
08:29It's been hanging in my closet.
08:31A nod to her incredible legacy, the dress's vintage glamour perfectly complements the star's timeless beauty and class.
08:38You're still here, you're still amazing.
08:42And I'm 86.
08:4486!
08:45This is what 86 looks like, gentlemen.
08:49Zendaya's bridal Vivian Westwood look.
08:512015 Oscars.
08:53Is it the same one?
08:55It is!
08:56What made you wear the same dress from the 2015 Oscar?
08:59Stylist Law Roach is unmatched when it comes to theme dressing on the red carpet, and Zendaya's outfits for her
09:06film, The Drama, were no exception.
09:09This time around, the duo embraced an old wedding tradition of including something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
09:16A beautiful blue gown tonight.
09:19This is very on theme.
09:22I kind of knew that you were going to do this.
09:23I was hoping for this because when you go to your premieres, Zendaya, I don't know if you know this,
09:27you sometimes dress to the theme of your film.
09:30And so on this, you wore something old, something new, and something borrowed.
09:36This saying inspired them to bring back one of the star's most talked-about looks from the 2015 Oscars.
09:43Not only did the white Vivian Westwood dress suit the bridal theme perfectly, but Zendaya also shared how meaningful it
09:50felt to re-wear the gown over a decade later.
09:53It was such an important moment for myself, for my community, for my loved ones, and yeah, I just, um,
09:58it felt right.
09:59And it also happens to be a wedding dress.
10:01So, that works!
10:03Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

11:26Kate Blanchett's red carpet repeats.
11:28I felt that these really beautiful objects that I, items that I really loved, were becoming like a uniform.
11:36And I thought I just wanted to wear them more so that I could feel that they were mine, that
11:42I wasn't becoming something other than who I was.
11:46Not only is style icon Kate Blanchett well known for delivering memorable looks, but she's also developed a reputation for
11:54re-wearing her standout ensembles.
11:56Whether she's restyling a piece in a new way or bringing back a previously worn designer gown, her philosophy is
12:03this.
12:03If you repeat outfits in everyday life, why not on the red carpet?
12:07I was at the, on the jury in Cannes and I wore it to the opening night and I remember
12:14people saying to my publicist,
12:17Oh, Kate, Kate's wearing it. She's worn that dress before. As if I didn't know. Oh, really?
12:22And I was so pleased to wear it again because I'd loved it so much.
12:26The actress has also worked with celebrity stylist Elizabeth Stewart, who shares her desire for reducing waste with more sustainable
12:33fashion practices.
12:35Blanchett has said she hopes to redefine the notion of luxury.
12:38And over the years, she's proved that trendsetting doesn't always have to mean wearing something brand new.
12:44I mean, you do. I'm sure you, you, the sweater that you're wearing now, you, you've worn lots of times
12:49because it's fabulous.
12:51And that you might, you know, you'll wear it in lots of different ways.
12:54So why does that not happen when you're in the public eye, it seems.
