The names of the three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep and the talented fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld surfaced in the context of an unpleasant incident several hours before the main cinematic award of the year was presented!
How it was?
Preparing for the exit on the red carpet, the actress picked up a stunning outfit from the fashion house Chanel. It was supposed to be a silvery-gray silk dress. However, after agreeing the order, the manager of the star contacted Mr. Lagerfeld's assistant and said that the toilet was no longer needed! Allegedly, there are fashion designers who are ready to pay the first-tier star themselves if she wears an exclusive outfit for such a big event.
It is worth paying tribute: this practice takes place. Some celebrities really make good money, appearing in public in clothes from famous brands. However, Chanel never supports this trend. The dress itself or the costume is the reward for going out, is not it? Each of the unique Haute couture dresses is created manually. This is a long and painstaking process.
Verbal fight
And what about the head of the fashion house Chanel? He managed to comment on the unpleasant situation around the dress, worth € 100,000. According to Lagerfeld, when it comes to such a "gift", then there is no question of any "surcharge": "
"We started working on the order. A sketch was made, and then we began to create a dress. And then a phone call rings and a representative of the star says that they found a brand that agreed to pay for going out in their toilet ... How is this to be understood? We already give a terrific outfit, but we also have to pay for it? What remains to be said: an ingenious artist, but behavior is cheaper! "
The celebrity answer did not take long. Despite the fact that Chanel and Lagerfeld took their words back, the mood of the actress on the eve of an important ceremony was greatly spoiled.
Strip told the WWD portal that the aforementioned charges are provocation and slander. Or maybe it's just such a "black PR"?
"Me, my stylist and illustrious designer, whose dress I chose for the Oscar-2017" trite me. I'm sure that this scandal was started with only one goal - to dishonor me. Such stories are instantly picked up by the "yellow press" and now in every tabloid news of my greed. The most interesting thing is that the apology was never received. Lagerfeld lied, and the media picked up his words. I'm still waiting for an official apology! ".

In any case, the image of the actress became one of the most discussed on the red carpet. The 67-year-old superstar chose not to wear clothes from the French brand Lanvin, as she did for many years, but on a dress from Elie Saab. It is necessary to give credit: in the fitted dark-blue attire in the floor with lace inserts and rhinestones, the actress looked simply amazing!
