Sad face.

Alexander McQueen may not have a couture line right now, but there are plenty of signs one could be on the horizon.

Sarah Burton, who is creating five bespoke orders right now, said:

"We do so many collections, and I want each one to be special. There is always a lot done by hand, even for the pre-collection. I know this is not Paris couture, but in our humble way we are working towards it."

The label's incorporation of intricate hand-work is something that could ultimately lead to a couture line since it's a huge part of the company's heritage.

Fingers crossed that McQueen couture isn't too far away!

Do you even need to ask what Salma Hayek wore to the Met Gala?

The wife of Francois-Henri Pinault, the CEO PPR which owns 50% of Alexander McQueen, donned a peach organza McQueen couture gown.

There's no arguing the dress is pretty, but it does absolutely nothing for us.

Salma likes to take risks, and this just seems safe.
