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

    The Look:

  1. Eva Mendes in Brilliant Blue (Slide 1)
    This simple, sleeveless silhouette makes an impact in a frosty aqua color, while the blue and green beading at the neckline keeps the dress from being too simple. Paired with pale pumps and a metallic bag, it's fresh and fun—just right for the magazine anniversary party Mendes was attending.

  2. The Eco-friendly Version:

  3. Skin and Threads Belted Jersey Dress (Slide 2)
    We know this dress isn't an exact replica of the one Mendes wore on the red carpet, but the key feature-the color-is the same: this jewel-tone teal (called Zeus) makes you impossible to overlook. The cinched waist defines your shape-and we're pretty sure the organic cotton fabric is more comfortable than whatever Mendes was wearing. (Nimli, $68)

  4. Fair Trade Five Strand Button Necklace (Slide 3)
    Since the jersey dress doesn't have the same embellished neckline as Mendes' version, add some visual interest with this five-strand necklace made of mother-of-pearl beads (made from raw materials harvested in West Bengal rivers) and glass chips—purchased through the TARA Project, a fair trade organization that supports artisans in India. (Ten Thousand Villages, $20)
