What's in the Elie Saab x H&M collection?

H&M Group describes embellished gowns, shimmering separates, sharply cut tailoring, fine lace, gradient sequins and Elie Saab monograms, across womenswear, menswear and accessories including footwear.

The headline reveal is a bridal look: a mermaid-shaped gown with a dramatic back train and a twisting off-the-shoulder top, worn with a hand-embroidered veil. H&M says it brings the house's bridal heritage into the collaboration.

How much will it cost?

H&M has not published prices. BURO Malaysia says the collection brings Saab's embellished, romantic eveningwear "to a high-street price point." Expect gowns and statement pieces to cost well above H&M's usual range, as with previous designer collaborations.

What happened at the Paris launch?

H&M hosted a party at the Palais Brongniart in Paris on September 28, draped in burgundy with a long red carpet. Guests included Amelia Gray, Gabbriette, Iris Law, Anok Yai, Imaan Hammam, Lila Moss and Marisa Abela. Robin S performed "Show Me Love," and H&M's Ann-Sofie Johansson called it "the perfect soundtrack to reveal this special ELIE SAAB H&M bridal look."

How do I shop Elie Saab x H&M?

  1. Download the H&M app and sign in before launch day.
  2. Save pieces to your favourites as soon as the full lookbook appears.
  3. Check your local store to see whether it is stocking the collection; not every H&M will.
  4. Be quick on sizes: designer collaborations tend to sell through fastest in core sizes.

Why does this collaboration matter?

Elie Saab, the Beirut-founded couture house known for red-carpet gowns, is one of the most eveningwear-focused designers H&M has worked with. It also lands in a crowded fall for designer team-ups, from John Galliano's Re{form} partnership with Zara to Reformation x Alexa Chung. See our roundup of the best fashion collaborations of 2026.
