What do celebrities and movie stars do with their outfits after wearing them just once?

Celebrities and movie stars often wear one-of-a-kind, designer outfits on the red carpet, but what happens to those clothes after they’ve been worn just once?

There are a few different options for what happens to these outfits:

• They may be returned to the designer: Some designers have arrangements with celebrities and their stylists to borrow outfits for events, with the understanding that they will be returned afterward. This is more common for high-end designer outfits that are made to order.
• They may be kept by the celebrity: Some celebrities keep the outfits they wear, either because they have purchased them or because they have made arrangements with the designer to keep them as a gift or in exchange for publicity.
• They may be sold or auctioned for charity: Some celebrities choose to donate their outfits to charity auctions or sell them and donate the proceeds to a cause of their choice. This is a popular way to raise money for charity and give fans a chance to own a piece of celebrity history.

Of course, there are also cases where outfits are discarded or never worn again. However, with growing concerns about sustainability in the fashion industry, more and more celebrities are choosing to donate, recycle, or repurpose their outfits to reduce waste.
