Givenchy, Chanel, Balmain. Among the sea of celebrities clad in high-end designers at the 2016 Met Gala, Hailee Steinfeld stood out in a glorious H&M gown.
Wait, what?
You read that right. Hailee decided to forego the big-name luxury designers and turned to ready-to-wear giant H&M for her bespoke cutout gown.

The True Grit actress paired her green dress with a rectangular clutch and the Charlotte Olympia “Gilda” platform sandals.
“As a personal fan of H&M’s contributions to the fashion industry, I was especially proud to collaborate on a design that marries our tastes and highlights the theme of this year’s MET Gala. It’s been a wonderful partnership,” Hailee said about her emerald green gown.

Surprisingly, Hailee wasn’t the only one who turned to H&M for the big gala night.
We’re not sure what kind of business move H&M is trying to pull with its sudden interest in bespoke wear, but we find ourselves glued and awaiting the brand’s next move.

True O’Brien’s cousin also let us in on a little fact: This was her sixth consecutive Met Gala, which is a pretty impressive feat considering she’s only 19 years old. She must have been a pretty posh 13-year-old.
