He also added a pair of monochrome trainers, a black sports cap and dark sunglasses.

Oprah and Bradley were among a large a large group of wealthy and intellectual stars who had flocked to Italy to attend the formerly top secret Google Camp.

Celebrities, including the likes of Oprah, Bradley, Harry Styles, Naomi Campbell, have faced ridicule and accusations of hypocrisy for meeting in Italy to save the planet while leaving a huge carbon footprint of their own. 

The tech giant spent an estimated $20million on an extravagant climate change bash for a host of A-list celebrities this week, flying hundreds of guests across the world and treating them to three days of luxury at a Sicilian seaside resort.

It’s reported that up to 114 fuel-guzzling private jets were used to get the world’s elite to the destination.

Prince Harry is reported to have given a passionate, barefoot speech about saving the planet at the event, but Buckingham Palace have refused to confirm his attendance – let alone if he travelled via private jet. 

The 300 guests at the secretive camp, who also included Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, mingled on $400million mega-yachts and cruised around Sicily in $200,000 cars before watching Coldplay’s Chris Martin perform in ancient ruins which cost another $100,000 to rent – even before the show was put on. 

Google picked up the tab for their flights, accommodation and entertainment during the three-day ‘Google Camp’, sending the costs spiralling.

BBC presenter Andrew Neil was among those to point out the irony, saying: ‘Scores of celebrities and the rich have arrived in Sicily for a Google conference. They came in 114 private jets and a flotilla of super yachts. The conference is on global warming.’

Sources told Page Six that the total cost of the Google-funded showpiece would run to around $20million.

The combined carbon footprint of dozens of flights from Google’s Los Angeles base to the Verdura resort would also come to around 780 tonnes of C02, although it is not clear where all the guests travelled from.

Former President Barack Obama was also rumoured to be among those attending the event, but has not been spotted.

Orlando Bloom, Stella McCartney, Diane Von Furstenberg and Gayle King were also spotted arriving at the Verdura Resort in Sicily for the welcome dinner on Monday.

On Tuesday, even more guests arrived at the property, with Nick Jonas and new wife Priyanka Chopra leading the charge of celebrities heading to the island for the three-day conference which is believed to have begun on Monday.
