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 HM gown.
Wait, what?
You read that right. Hailee decided to forego the big-name luxury designers and turned to ready-to-wear giant HM 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 HM’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 HM for the big gala night.
We’re not sure what kind of business move HM is trying to pull with its sudden interest in bespoke wear, but we find ourselves glued and awaiting the brand’s next move.

The actress 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.
