Michelle Williams Wears H&M Gown To The BAFTAs

Michelle Williams Wears H&M Gown To The BAFTAs

Did you know that H&M made custom evening gowns? If you're campaigning for an Academy Award, apparently they do. Michelle Williams, hot on the Oscar trail, attended the BAFTA awards in London last night clad in a one-off frock by the Swedish fast-fashion house.

The strapless ivory and black dress with a floral accent at the waist was elegant and Williams pulled it together with stunning styling: a simple diamond choker and an Olympia Le-Tan book clutch. (The My Week With Marilyn star chose The Misfits by Arthur Miller, who was once married to Monroe.) The black nail polish and dark red lipstick deepen the drama.

This is the last major red carpet event before the Oscars in two weeks. Pulling a dress, even a "bespoke" one, a cheap-chic chain, rather than an expected high-fashion label, is a headline making choice for Williams. It's just another way to keep all eyes on her.

Michelle Williams looks fantastic and glamorous in this dress. She looks very demur and feminine. Please do not wear crap like the dress Victoria Beckham dress u up in recently. Good on you.

She has always been a favourite of mine. She goes against the grain and seems very genuine in her appearance and her personality. I think Michelle plays by her own rules and I am happy to see her wearing something that is more realistic in price and accessible to the public. Bravo!

  It's because she looks beautiful, and is wearing something that isn't some high end fashion designer,instead it is done by a company that you find in mall across Canada. Some people can actually attempt to afford.

So nice and classy, tasteful and appropriate, not like the dress Fergie wore recently.
A Yahoo! User • 3 months ago
I don't get it! Like who cares if shes wearing an H and M Gown.... doesnt it only matter if she looks nice? No one has proper news now days!

The title makes it sound like she went into H&M and purchased a gown off the rack. What's the point of this story if it's a high priced designer one-off dress?!

Eitherway, she looks great.
