Wearing a look straight off the Alexanre Vauthier Spring 2018 runway, Hailee Steinfeld stepped out in a strapless white column gown with a thigh slit that showcased her metallic purple knee-high boots. On her fingers, Steinfeld wore rings by Mattia Cielo, Hearts On Fire, and Djula Jewelry.

She does, however, get points for being on the whole suit trend -- and color-coordinating her hair. Which makes things about even in our book.
