Met Gala exclusive: we chat with Hailee Steinfeld about her H&M look

Who dressed Hailee Steinfeld for one of the hottest fashion events of the year? None other than our fave Swedish fast fashion retailer – H&M! We asked the gorgeous actress/singer all about the glam look she rocked at last night’s Met Gala.

What do you like most about your look for the Met?
It’s a silhouette that enforces confidence and femininity.

How does it reflect your personal style?
I personally gravitate towards styles that give me a strong sense of self, but in an effortless way. I like to explore various designers and fabrics and play with colours and textures. I’ve evolved as a person and I would say my fashion sense has evolved as well.

What was the design process with H&M like?
It was a collaborative effort that began with some sketches, followed by some modifications and enhancements. Then, we had the first fitting together and we shared ideas about how to refine certain aspects of the dress. The final fitting was last night. It was a fun process and H&M was a gracious partner.

What makes the Met Gala so special?
It’s an event I have been going to for six years now, and the excitement has never wavered. It’s a night to take fashion risks and to celebrate icons and art. There’s no other event quite like it.

What did you think of this year’s theme? (Manus x Machina – Fashion in an Age of Technology)
It seems so appropriate in this new era of fashion and commerce. The days of needle and thread fashion are over it seems, but the authenticity and creativity behind the design has only broadened. It’s an interesting dynamic.

How would you describe your red carpet style in general?
I would describe my red carpet fashion as colourful and expressive. I like the combination of the two.

What’s your best style advice for the perfect red carpet look?
Just do “you”. If you’re forcing a look or style that feels compromising, then find something else to wear.

May 01 – Seen in New York

Hailee Steinfeld arrived at a dress fitting on Monday morning for the much-anticipated Met Gala, set to take place later that evening in New York City.

The 19-year-old seems to have gotten some style tips from her squad leader Taylor Swift as she wore a tight dress that showed off her midsection with some above-the-knee kinky boots.

Hailee was both trendy and modest, dress in a military-inspired long-sleeved frock. The black, fitted outfit featured a buttoned bodice, which she paired with a set of thigh-high boots.

The fresh-faced beauty kept her face shielded from the sun behind a pair of oversize shades. As she made her way to the fitting, the singer toted a quilted, Chanel handbag and her cellphone.
