Karl Lagerfeld just threw shade at Meryl Streep over her Oscars gown
The Oscars are just around the corner, and we're already speculating on what Hollywood's elite will be wearing.
Meryl Streep has been nominated for her 20th Oscar this year, and so the battle to dress the star for the big event must have been bloody.
According to People, the actress opted for Chanel, but cancelled the couture order after receiving an offer of payment to wear another labels dress.
“I made a sketch, and we started to make the dress,” Lagerfeld told WWD.
He went on to say that after production began on the dress, he received a call from Meryl's team saying that the dress was no longer necessary as they had been offered payment from someone else for Meryl to wear a different gown.
"Don’t continue the dress. We found somebody who will pay us,” the actress’s team said, according to Lagerfeld's claims.
Chanel has a policy of not paying celebrities to wear their garments.
"After we gift her a dress that’s €100,000 , we found later we had to pay. We give them dresses, we make the dresses, but we don’t pay,” he said.
However, the actress's team has refuted the claims, saying it is against the Oscar nominee's morals to wear a sponsored garment.
The Hollywood drama is already staring and the Oscars hasn't even happened yet.
