Save the environment with a used dress like Elizabeth

Elizabeth Banks attended the The Business Of Fashion's second annual BoF West Summit at the Century City Mall in Los Angeles on Friday and, for the occasion, chose to go the anti-fashion route and wear a vintage dress replete with a pin on her lapel which said "used.'

Posting on Instagram, the actress said she was proud to wear a sustainable secondhand look from fashion resale site @thredUP. "Fashion is the second most polluting industry next to oil, and one of the best things we can do is re-use the clothes we have," she wrote.

We, at Fashion Finder, love a great vintage find. So, if you'd like to shop and save the planet, like Elizabeth, click right to shop the site's wares.

As for Banks, she's gearing up for the release of her Charlie's Angels remake.  

This time round, Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska play Charlie's girls, continuing the action where Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu left off in 2011.

Banks will take on the role of Bosley. 

According to a recent interview with Banks, who also serves as director, the movie will be a continuation of the 70s series and 00s movies instead of a reboot.

'Charles Townsend is richer than ever, so he’s grown the business into a global spy agency' Banks told Entertainment Weekly.

Kristen plays hard-partying 'highly skilled wild card' Sabrina Wilson while Ella plays Jane Kano, aka 'muscle' and Naomi Scott takes on the role of Elena Houghlin, a scientist from MIT, who Banks calls 'the heart of the movie'.

The character of John Bosley is now going to be played by three people; Banks, Patrick Stewart, and Djimon Hounsou. Rather than just one person it's now a rank, like a lieutenant, within the organization.

'All of the Angels have been played by different women and have had different names, but the Bosley character was always named Bosley no matter who played him.' 

Banks explained. 'We thought, "Well, that must mean it’s more than a name."'

The 40 Year Old Virgin star said that showing off the women's teamwork was a priority when making the movie.
