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.
