Even when you're a supermodel, there's no harm in getting as much use out of a dress as possible. 

Take Karlie Kloss, for example. She arrived to Monday night's Met Gala red carpet sporting a stunning white high-collared overcoat with an attached cape overlay. Then, with the blink of an eye, she shed the overcoat and transformed into a Hollywood siren in a column gown covered in eye-catching cutouts. 

Still, there was one more look to be squeezed out of this Brandon Maxwell gown. After the annual affair had ended and celebrities turned their sights to the infamous after-parties, Kloss and the designer opted for one last alteration. 

"Soooo...instead of changing into a #MetGala Afterparty dress, @BrandonMaxwell cut my gown into mini," she wrote on Instagram while sharing a video of the crucial chop moment. 

It was a brilliant decision. No need to buy a new gown, no reason to find somewhere to change and best of all, her mile-long legs were free to groove the night away.

Not only did the former Victoria's Secret angel showcase how to wear a dress in three separate looks, she also sported one of the evening's signature trends—side cutouts

Nearly every major fashionista, from Taylor Swift to Oscar winner Brie Larson, showed off slivers of skin at the waist for a demure, but sultry modern look. 

We definitely give this look—er—looks an A+.
