Two nights before the public launch of the much-awaited H&M X Balmain collection, Manila’s A-listers and your favorite celebrities got to call dibs on the precious drops.
The countdown started at 8pm, and by 10pm, while the mall goers were ushered out for closing, the shopping party at H&M’s flagship store at the SM Mega Fashion Hall was set to begin. There were free-flowing champagne, beats by DJ Nix Damn P, and anticipation all over the place. Seven batches of fashion squads, with 35 people each, were called in for 15 minutes of shopping and left the venue as certified members of the #HMBalmaination Army.
See the lucky celebs who got to shop for Balmain... while clad in Balmain, natch!

Joey Mead hosted the night's festivities.
This is what happens when you put shoppers under time pressure.
Kelsey Merritt looks absolutely amazing in head-to-toe Balmain.
So does Janine Gutierrez.
James Reid arrived a bit late but slayed it in Balmain, nonetheless.
Of course, if James was there, Nadine Lustre had to be there, too!
