H&M collaborated with celebrity guests to put on the style at the recent Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, 2015, in New York.
Inspired by this year’s exhibition theme, ‘China: Through the Looking Glass’, the designs featured intricate beading and embroidery plus pleating inspired by the folds of a fan.
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker wore a one-shouldered black silk dress, with a draped train embroidered with scarlet poppies. The dress also included a patchwork panel, made of sustainable fabric and embellishments, highlighting H&M’s vision of ‘making fashion sustainable and sustainability fashionable’.
“Being able to see something you envision come to life is a very rewarding opportunity. I’ve had so much fun collaborating with H&M to create a dress that reflects the character and splendour of this incredible exhibition,” she said.
Other guests wearing one-of-a-kind looks included:
Actress and Singer Vanessa Hudgens wore a custom made H&M pleated crimson tea-length dress, embellished with Swarovski crystals.
Singer Janelle Monae wore a custom made H&M mandarin collared cropped tuxedo jacket caped suit, with contrast detailing.
Athlete Odell Beckham Jr wore a custom made H&M deep plum two-button velvet blazer, with a slim-fit tuxedo trouser topped off with black satin accessories.
