8 Times Kendall & Gigi Werked In H&M x Balmain
There's no doubt that Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid are the "it girls" of the moment, so it makes total sense that they're fronting the campaign for one of the biggest designer collaborations to date: H&M x Balmain. When shopping the collection, it only makes sense to seek out #HMBALMAINATION items that Hadid and Jenner have worn — after all, they are style stars for a reason.
Balmain's Olivier Rousteing recreated his famed design aesthetic on a more affordable scale for the H&M customer. While most of the items are more than $100, the pieces are so similar to the high fashion brand's runway offerings that are worth spending a bit more. And, as if you needed any more convincing, Hadid and Jenner are clearly big fans of the range.
These two ladies have impeccable style, whether they're going to the gym, walking down the street, or attending an A-list party. Hadid and Jenner are effortlessly chic and on-trend, so it comes as no surprise that anything they wear would become highly coveted. Given that they've both worn H&M x Balmain on the red carpet and to various other events, I think we can safely say they approve of the items in this collection.
Here are eight pieces from the line that Jenner and Hadid have already worn — and three we'd love to see them rock next!
What They Already Love
1. Jenner's Beaded Clutch
Beaded Leather Clutch Bag, $149, hm.com
When it comes to accessories, Jenner has a unique talent for keeping the item count low but the impact high. This beaded clutch is the perfect example.
2. Hadid's Biker Jacket
Leather Jacket, $399, hm.com
A good leather jacket is essential for anyone's fall wardrobe. This version from the collection is G-squared approved with gold details, an asymmetrical zipper, and buckles on the waist and sleeves.
3. Jenner's Beaded Velvet Jacket
Beaded Velvet Jacket, $549, hm.com
Jenner originally wore this jacket to help Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing announce the collaboration at the Billboard Music Awards earlier this year. Makes sense, since it's definitely one of the more detailed and breath-taking designs in the collection.
4. Hadid's Co-Ord Set
Silk Blend Velvet Blouse, $99, hm.com; Silk Blend Velvet Pants, $129, hm.com
Nothing is easier than getting dressed in a co-ord set. This version from the collection, rendered in a silk-blend fabric with subtle floral designs, looks gorgeous on Hadid and would be the perfect holiday ensemble for festive events and parties.
5. Jenner's Satin Pants
Silk Satin Suit Pants, $99, hm.com
Watch out, MC Hammer! Jenner has a knack at making anything and everything stylish, even Hammer pants. These H&M x Balmain versions are cinched at the waist in a silky, satin fabric.
6. Jenner's Beaded Blouse
Beaded Velvet Blouse, $499, hm.com
Jenner makes this beaded velvet blouse look absolutely amazing with some statement jewelry and a wide belt. Although, I'm convinced it would look just as great with a pair of dark jeans and some leather booties.
7. Hadid's Gold Belt
Metal-Decorated Leather Belt, $59.99, hm.com
This belt, one of a few in the collection, features a gold-plated chevron pattern on a medium width leather base. Even though belts are usually an after thought, Hadid is rocking this one as if it were the main focus of her ensemble.
8. Jenner's Gold Necklace
Multistrand Necklace, $99, hm.com
This statement-making necklace is the perfect item to tie together an all-black look, like Jenner did with this chic ensemble.
What They Might Wear Next
9. A Casual T-Shirt For Hadid
T-Shirt With Flock Print Motif, $34.99, hm.com
Hadid's off-duty style typically involves skinny jeans and casual tops. This T-shirt, also available in black, is the perfect addition to her feminine yet casual street style wardrobe, and let's be real, would look good in anyone's closet.
10. A Faux Fur Jacket For Jenner
Leather And Faux Fur Jacket, $149, hm.com
Faux fur was a big trend last season, and it's returning again in the form of this dark green and black jacket with leather details. There's no doubt Jenner would wear this paired with black skinny jeans and over-the-knee boots.
11. A White Jacket For Hadid
Wool Jacket With Stain Lapels, $129, hm.com
Hadid has already taught us that there is sartorial power in an all-white outfit. Imagine her in this wool jacket and a pair of distressed white skinny jeans! Just tell me that doesn't give you major outfit feels.
But who am I kidding? Every pieces gives me major outfit feels. Excuse me while I drool away at the rest of the collection.
