In this series we look at hot celebrity looks and translate them into eco-friendly versions you can create yourself!

The Look:

Denny Mendez's Little Black Dress (Slide 1)
Former Miss Italia Denny Mendez relives her beauty queen days with this elegant outfit at the Children For Peace Charity Event in Rome. Her simple black dress, understated jewelry, and low heels are just right for a benefit, while her crisp white coat and metallic bag make the finished look shine.

The Eco Friendly Version:

Viridis Luxe Black Mini (Slide 2)
A little black dress is one of the most versatile pieces a woman can own. This version, a blend of bamboo and organic cotton, is modern enough to dress up or down with accessories and shoes. (Revolve clothing, $84)

Eloise Grey Elizabeth II coat (Slide 3)
We've always been envious of women who can wear white coats without coming home with stains. If you're one of those lucky types, the Elizabeth II coat—an organic tweed made of undyed wool that's handwoven in Scotland—has the tailoring and details to make any outfit glow. (Eloise Gray, about $900)

Matt and Nat Camden bag (Slide 4)
Matt and Nat's Camden bag (made of vegan leather, of course) is an animal-friendly alternative to the rest of the market's metallic carryalls. (Matt and Nat, $265)
