\"\"<\/a>Well, Natalie Portman<\/a> was not the only gal to go green at the Oscar festivities this year.\u00a0 It seems Academy-award winner Colin Firth\u2019s wife, Livia, was clad in an eco-friendly gown and jewels for the Oscar event.<\/p>\n

Livia Firth<\/strong>, along with pal Lucy Siegle, chronicled her dressing up eco-style in their Vogue diary The Green Carpet Challenge<\/a>.\u00a0 Lucy Siegle is currently writing a book entitled To Die For on the \u201cstate of the fashion industry and its enormous footprint\u201d.\u00a0 That will go on our must read list.<\/p>\n

For now, back to The Green Carpet Challenge.\u00a0 Ok, so as creative director and co-owner of Eco Age <\/a>(green living consulting firm and retail shop), Mrs. Firth has definitely done her homework on the subject.\u00a0 The Challenge chronicles her carpet walks in one eco-friendly ensemble after another.\u00a0 Some better than others.\u00a0 As, Lucy puts it, they did indeed make a couple of worst-dressed lists.<\/p>\n

As for Oscar night<\/a>, Livia Firth was gorgeous.\u00a0 Gorgeous dress, gorgeous jewels, and her hair\u2026lovely.\u00a0 The gown itself was dreamed up by designer Gary Harvey from 11 different gowns sourced from vintage shops.\u00a0 Pretty cool!\u00a0 While some grumbled that cutting up several perfectly fine vintage pieces was not very eco at all, I have only one qualm.\u00a0 Why did she not go all the way and use green makeup as well?\u00a0 There are so many great choices out there for safe, natural makeup<\/a> that this one seems like a no-brainer.\u00a0 Oh well, if you\u2019d like help for next event\u2026let me know;)<\/p>\n
