Amanda Seyfried’s Givenchy dress already made us do a double take, so we can say this Balmain dress we spotted on Kate Hudson made us do a quadruple take.
Yes, it’s a denim dress cut, designed, and treated as if it were made of silk, satin, or much more expensive fabric. Balmain wove denim strips, laced them with metal chains, and quilted them with sparkling beads for a 100% photo-op-ready and red-carpet-worthy look.

Of course, it’s not enough that we describe the dress — you have got to see its details up close:

It’s breathtaking. This dress isn’t an article of clothing anymore; it’s a work of art. We hope this trend among designers starts so we can see more dressed-up denim on the red carpet.
Since our last batch of “I can’t believe it’s denim” dresses, we found four more to add to the collection. It’s incredible how denim can be designed in many ways.
