Nevertheless, there’s one Met Gala outfit that made the Oscar nominee utterly unrecognizable to a few of her Hollywood friends, and I don’t blame them.
We’ve seen Steinfeld’s timeless seems to be all through her filmography, from sporting pigtails in one of many all-time greatest Westerns True Grit, to sporting an attractive ‘30s costume within the 2025 film launch of Sinners.

I can see the place Hailee Steinfeld is coming from, wanting to participate in a enjoyable experiment of cleverly disguising herself and seeing if others can acknowledge the lady behind the costume. Seeing her act on display, we all know it’s the famed actress behind every character. However as celebrities are consistently acknowledged, I can think about wanting utterly remodeled in actual life is usually a true journey.
Whereas stars can look utterly unrecognizable in a task, Steinfeld with the ability to idiot some Hollywood friends together with her indistinguishable Met Gala look takes transformation to a complete new degree.
