The Cannes Film Festival tends to bring out the best in red carpet stars.

But straight from disembarking their docked yacht on the Riviera, Colin Firth and Livia Giuggioli put on an exquisite display.

Handsome gentleman Colin, 54, and his beautiful counterpart Livia, 45, looked stylish as they stepped off the luxury sunliner in sunglasses on Friday morning in the sunshine.

Colin may be the moviestar but this was the time for Livia to shine in the movie world.

On the red carpet and on the big screen in Cannes, she will have a big role to play because she is a keen purveyor of ethical fashion.

Livia is the executive producer on The True Cost, a new documentary film exploring the impact of fashion on people and the planet.

Inside the yacht, the couple posed for pictures with the film's director Andrew Morgan and producer Michael Ross as well as fellow female producer Laura Piety.



Colin has already received some good Cannes news, since his new film Genius - starring Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and Laura Linney - has been acquired Lionsgate.

The Michael Grandage-directed film will chronicle the work of scribe Max Perkins when he was book editor at Scribner, overseeing works such authors as Thomas Wolfe.

The film explores the complex relationship between Max and Thomas Wolfe, played by Jude Law, and Ernest Hemingway, portrayed by Dominic West, who are both authors whose work Perkins oversaw.

Colin Firth - Bradley Cooper Wore Eco-friendly Tux To Golden Globes (CONTACT MUSIC)

Colin Firth's eco-warrior wife has heaped praise on Bradley Cooper for daring to wear a tuxedo made of recycled materials to the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday (13Jan13).

Livia Firth convinced the actor to don a Tom Ford tuxedo made from ethical wool for her Green Carpet Challenge (Gcc), which asks top designers to create environmentally-friendly red-carpet looks.

In a post on her blog, Livia writes, "This year we opted to celebrate menswear as the divine Golden Globes nominee Bradley Cooper joined the Gcc in a two piece suit by Tom Ford, designed exclusively for the Green Carpet Challenge.

"The suit was made from... low environmental impact, European spun and woven wool suiting. As Gcc fans will know, while we love the glitz and the excitement of the red carpet, we are fascinated by the supply chain and this project gave us the chance to... create a beautiful fibre that stands the test of time.

Colin Firth among stars at Dubai Film Festival (SCOTTISH PASSPORT)

British actor Colin Firth was among the stars to grace the red carpet at the Dubai International Film Festival last week, attending a charity ball and auction on Saturday night with his Italian wife Livia.

The couple posed for photographers as they entered the 'One Night to change Lives' event, which raised half a million dollars for local agency Dubai Cares and international charity Oxfam.


Other stars to attend included Sex and the City's Kristin Davis, Rooney Mara from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto.

The majority of the ladies were proudly taking part in Livia Firth's Green Carpet Challenge – which encourages the stars at red carpet events to wear clothing which is sustainably produced as well as stylish.

The green entrepreneur and film producer came up with the idea of the challenge in 2009, with journalist Lucy Siegle, and now insists on wearing ethical fashion to all events.

Livia Firth: Green Is Great For Fashion Week Designers Colin Firth's film producer wife Livia challenges eight designers to combine cinema, fashion and sustainability in their work. (SKY NEWS)

By Lucy Cotter, Arts & Entertainment Correspondent

Fashion week launched in London with a message - green is great - and the woman who has made it her mission to spread the word is Livia Firth.

Livia, the wife of Colin Firth, has been extolling the benefits of eco-fashion for the last few years.

She and her journalist friend Lucy Siegle are the brains behind the Green Carpet Challenge.

This saw Livia wearing sustainable designs to star-studded events while her husband was in the running for an Oscar for both A Single Man and The King's Speech.

She also managed to persuade a host of A-listers including Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and Cameron Diaz to do the same.

Her latest initiative is The Green Cut which celebrates the best of fashion, film and sustainability, bringing together the British Fashion Council and the British Film Institute for the first time.

She worked with American Express and eight fashion designers, each of whom used a classic film as the inspiration for their design.

Livia told Sky News the success of her eco-project had exceeded all her expectations.

Colin Firth: Eco queen Livia Firth to launch her own range Enjoy a preview of Liva Firth Designs, the first sustainably-made capsule collection by Colin Firth's ethically-minded other half, Livia. (FASHION) BY OLIVIA BERGIN | 06 JULY 2012

Livia Firth is one savvy style-setter. When her husband Colin Firth was nominated for a Golden Globe in Tom Ford's A Single Man , the Italian-born former film producer didn't succumb to the role of mere 'trophy wife'. Instead, she elected to attend all red carpet events, including the Oscars, dressed solely in sustainable fashion in order to raise the profile of ecological and social justice in the fashion industry. More than just a one-off awards season wonder, she launched the Green Carpet Challenge , persuading stars such as Cameron Diaz and Meryl Streep to step out in bespoke designer creations made from recycled polyester from plastic bottles.

Next up on her plans for global eco-fashion domination? Why, her own line of course.
Following on from the online launch of Eco Age , her shop-in-shop on the shopping website Yooxygen which features her edit of the best ethical fashion, (she closed her west London store to focus on e-commerce) Firth is making her own design debut with five pieces.

Livia Firth: “Downton Abbey’s” Elizabeth McGovern Wears Green Gucci at Cannes by Jasmin Malik Chua, 05/21/12 (Ecoterre)

Even the acid-tongued Dowager Countess would find little fault with Elizabeth McGovern’s Cannes attire. The actress, who plays Lady Cora Crawley on Downton Abbey, feted the remastered version of Once Upon a Time in America in an ivory certified-organic silk gown by Gucci, which funded the 1984 film’s restoration with Martin Scorsese’s Film Foundation.

A two-time veteran of Livia Firth’s Green Carpet Challenge—she’s worn outfits by Henrietta Ludgate to both the Royal Television Awards in 2011 and a Golden Globes party earlier this year—McGovern was squired by none other than Firth herself, who played counterpoint in a Gothic black version with an open back and neck ruffle.

Livia Firth helps Prada Go Green at Met Ball (ECORAZZI)

Last night at the 2012 Met Ball, Livia Firth, wife of actor Colin, continued her mission to turn that red carpet green, and enlisted some new names to join the cause.

First up was Livia’s own dress, a beautiful, Gothic inspired number that introduced mecca designer Prada to the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC) for the first time.

“I am hugely proud of what this gown has achieved: it represents a GCC first as it’s the first time a designer has used so many different GCC materials in one single piece. And so the black panelled gown mixes certified silks, tulle and chiffon with sustainably harvested ostrich feathers and end-of-line British made lace,” says Livia of her gown. She adds, “it’s testament to the inventiveness of Guisi Bettoni (who put together our GCC fabric library) that even the ostrich feathers are certified!”

The other shining addition to the Green Carpet Challenge family was actress and environmentalist, Cameron Diaz, who walked the carpet in a breathtaking Stella McCartney. This dazzling and embellished dress was made from organic silk in collaboration with the GCC. The designer then added thousands of glass beads and a crystal chain, sparking a new initiative to the GCC; the traceability and sourcing of embellishment materials.

Livia Firth Challenges Hollywood to go Green on Red Carpet BY CRYSTAL WILTSHIRE APRIL 27, 2012 (ECORAZZI)

Every Hollywood star knows that one of the most important parts of an awards ceremony is who you are wearing. Livia Firth, wife of Academy Award-winning actor Colin, wants the kind of fabric you are wearing to be just as essential. Firth founded the Green Carpet Challenge in 2009, to influence top designers to rethink their fabric choices when designing fashions for the world’s biggest starts.

The challenge encourages designers to consider ecologically friendly and socially responsible fabrics when creating their pieces. “First of all, you want to wear something that is made with non-toxic materials and dyes and also that it’s made by people who are happy fundamentally,” Firth says.

She herself has worn yarn made from recycled plastic bottles to the Golden Globes, material from repurposed thrift store finds for the Oscars and discarded fabric to meet Queen Elizabeth II. With the Challenge now in its third year, Firth is on a mission to convince some of the biggest names in Hollywood to follow her lead, including designer and film director Tom Ford, Hollywood legend Meryl Streep and rising star Michael Fassbender.

“A designer will create a gown for an actress anyway. So what we do is to work with the designers to switch the fabric to eco-alternatives,” Firth said. One of Firth’s own “green carpet” triumphs was an emerald green gown made of upcycled fabric created from scratch by British designer Henrietta Ludgate who produces her designs out of a small workshop/showroom in London.

 “We source from mills in Scotland and England. We upcycle fabrics and we produce everything locally. It’s zero clothes miles,” Ludgate said. This method gives Ludgate a very hands on approach to the production process which results in a superior product. She goes on to say, “People buy for design rather than sustainability. When they find out about it, I’m hoping that they will buy more!”

Livia Firth unveils luxury line of clothing (Ecouterre)

Tinseltown may have rolled up its award-season red carpet, but Livia Firth isn’t one to sit idly by on the sidelines.

The Eco Age creative director, who’s married to Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth, has unveiled the first in a luxury line of clothing and accessories aptly known as Livia Firth Design. Designed with “love, fair trade rules, and environmental standards in mind,” her limited-edition skull necklace is the work of a small cooperative workshop in Devon, where artisans employ the ancient art of cire perdue (also known as lost-wax casting) to mold the individual elements by hand.

“LFD has, at its heart, simplicity and glamour and a little bit of playfulness, which should always be part of our life,” Firth says. Livia Firth (right) and Giusy Bettoni SAME CLOTH Firth is also teaming up with Giusy Bettoni of C.L.A.S.S. (Creativity Lifestyle and Sustainable Synergy), a global network of planet-forward textile showrooms, to establish the first Green Carpet Challenge Fabric Library. Bettoni’s expertise proved invaluable during Firth’s Green Carpet Challenge, which saw some of the world’s most storied fashion houses dressing A-listers such as Meryl Streep (in Lanvin), Viola Davis (Valentino), Michael Fassbender (Georgio Armani), and Kenneth Branagh (Ermenegildo Zegna) in an array of sustainable fabrics. Firth and Giusy Bettoni of C.L.A.S.S. are working to establish the first Green Carpet Challenge Fabric Library.

Sustainable fashion was in vogue at the 84th Academy Awards on Feb. 26 due to awareness raised by two campaigns dedicated to the cause: the Green Carpet Challenge (GCC) and the Red Carpet Green Dress contest.

For the Green Carpet Challenge, founder Livia Firth, Colin Firth’s eco-conscious and fashionable wife, has enlisted top stylists like Tom Ford, Gucci, Chanel, Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, Paul Smith, Valentino, Roger Vivier, Alberta Ferretti, and Ermenegildo Zegna to design clothing conforming to GCC standards for her own red carpet appearances since 2009.

And now her enthusiasm for the project has caught on.

Meryl Streep’s girls pick a winner for their Oscar winning mother (MAIL ON LINE)

By BAZ BAMIGBOYE

When Mamie and Grace Gummer saw what their mother Meryl originally planned to wear to Sunday’s Oscars, they told her to get it off - and replace it with a gown that made her look like a winner. That’s where the gold lamé Lanvin gown came in.

It was made from old plastic bottles - that’s what Colin Firth’s wife Livia told me.She organised eco-friendly dresses and suits (Kenneth Branagh wore one) for the Oscar red carpet, including the dress chosen by Streep’s daughters for the ceremony. And she duly picked up the award for her brilliant portrait of Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.

Streep and her representatives refused to divulge the provenance of the dress dumped by the Gummer girls (they use the name of their dad Don Gummer, who’s been wed to Meryl since 1978).

With the Oscars just around the corner, awards-season revelry is kicking into high gear.


WEDNESDAY Colin and Livia Firth’s Oxfam America Dinner

 Direct the car to: Chateau Marmont

 Logline: In addition to Oxfam’s global relief goals, Ermenegildo Zegna and Livia Firth partnered to lobby other top designers to be eco-friendly while designing the “wear it once” gowns that permeate Awards Season. This is Vanity Fair’s Wednesday offering.

Smart guest takeaway: This is not a “show up and smile” hosting job. Last year’s Oscar king curated the guest list himself.
