Hailey Bieber Wears Gold Saint Laurent Bodice by Claude Lalanne at 2026 Met Gala
At the 2026 Met Gala, Hailey Bieber wore a custom Saint Laurent dress with a 24-karat gold sculpted bodice and a blue silk chiffon skirt. The design directly references Yves Saint Laurent's fall 1969 couture collection, created in collaboration with French artist and sculptor Claude Lalanne, who used an electroplating process to achieve a realistic metallic effect. Bieber's look marks her sixth Met Gala appearance and her fourth time wearing Saint Laurent. She debuted at the 2015 gala in a Topshop mini dress, later attended with husband Justin Bieber in 2021, and wore a Saint Laurent blazer mini dress in 2025. The 2026 theme, 'Costume Art,' prompted sculptural and revealing ensembles.
