At Plant Based News, we love to see celebrities backing the vegan movement, from releasing vegan-friendly products to shining a light on important causes. In recent news, singer Billie Eilish wore Oscar de la Renta to the Met Gala on the condition that the designer ditched fur, acclaimed actor Jennifer Aniston launched a brand new vegan hair care product, and more.

Without further ado, here’s the latest in vegan celebrity news this week.

Billie Eilish scores a big win with Met Gala Oscar de la Renta dress

Seven-time Grammy Award-winning Billie Eilish has attracted a lot of attention since arriving at the Met Gala in an Oscar de la Renta gown with a 15-foot train.

The debut is also a victory for animals, as in exchange for Eilish wearing the dress, the vegan singer convinced the label to end its use of fur.

The move makes Eilish, this year’s Met Gala co-chair, the only notable guest to use the high-profile event to elicit an animal rights policy.

Eilish told the New York Times that she found it ‘shocking that wearing fur isn’t completely outlawed at this point in 2021’.

While the label ditched fur from its red carpet designs in recent years, fur was still being sold in stores, making up a meaningful amount of sales and profit’, the label said. Once Eilish stepped onto the red carpet, that all changed.

‘I’m honored to have been a catalyst and to have been heard on this matter’, she said.

Jennifer Aniston releases vegan haircare brand, LolaVie

Aniston’s natural hair care brand, LolaVie is both vegan certified and cruelty-free. ‘As a Leaping Bunny certified company, we do not conduct, commission or act as a party to any animal testing’, the brand states.

Additionally, it claims its manufacturers must be cruelty-free as well.

LolaVie is also centered on utilizing natural plant-based ingredients that are ‘easy on the environment’.

For example, all formulas are made without silicones, parabens, and sulfates. Ingredients include bamboo essence and chia seeds.

The line currently offers a Glossing Detangler lightweight spray at $25, which took five years to develop.

Upon announcing the news last week, Aniston told her Instagram followers: “This project has been in the works for a long time and I’m so excited to finally be able to introduce it to you.”
