Established by Prince William and The Royal Foundation, The Earthshot Prize exists to discover and grow innovative solutions to repair and regenerate our planet. This year, five categories of winners were chosen: the Protect and Restore Nature winner, the Clean Our Air Winner, The Revive Our Oceans winner, the Build a Waste-Free World winner, and the Fix Our Climate winner. All of the recipients are companies that are working to combat the global environmental crisis. Prince William himself, celebrities, and nominees attended the award ceremony held in Singapore on the 7th of November. All of them were asked to wear something "pre-loved". Let's take a look at some of the outfits they wore.
Prince William, The Prince of Wales
Founder of the Earthshot Prize, Prince William, led the way with pre-loved clothes for the ceremony, choosing a forest green velvet Alexander McQueen blazer, matching coloured bow tie, and white dress shirt that echoed his crisp pocket square. Prince William had donned this outfit before at the inaugural awards in 2021, and it has been a part of his wardrobe for ten years, according to Kensington Palace. His purpose was not only to look dapper but to remind us that sustainability in fashion can play a significant role in helping to protect the planet.
Hannah Waddingham
Game of Thrones and Ted Lasso actress Hannah Waddingham hosted this year's ceremony. She also chose to wear a hint of green in a sparkling black floor-length sleeveless gown with an emerald green silk sash and matching dramatic regal train.
Cate Blanchett
Australian actress Cate Blanchett, known for films such as Elizabeth and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, attended the ceremony in a recycled, gorgeous Stella McCartney metallic brocade vest, tailored jacket, and wide-legged trousers in gold and silver.
Jacinda Ardern
Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern joined the board of trustees for the Earthshot Prize. She appeared at the awards in a simple but stunning Juliette Hogan ivory silk floor-length column gown with a straight neckline and gathered dolman sleeves.
Nomzamo Mbatha
South African actress Nomzamo Mbatha, known internationally for her roles in Coming 2 America and Assassin, was invited to the ceremony to present one of the five prizes. She looked beautiful in a sapphire blue Stella McCartney draped silk gown with waist cut-outs and a thigh-high slit. The dress was finished with a bejewelled belt, and blue pointed high heels.
