Ginnifer Goodwin looked like a million bucks at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., Saturday night — but her dress was only $299.

The Once Upon a Time star — a guest of NPR — wore a voluminous light gray creation from the new H&M Exclusive Glamour Conscious Collection, a line of eco-friendly dresses and separates already seen on the red carpet on stars like Michelle Williams, Viola Davis, Kristin Davis and Amanda Seyfried.

“I wanted something that was very earth-friendly,” the actress told PEOPLE on her way into the event. “That was critical.”

Goodwin’s gown is a limited edition piece; only 1,000 were made, and each is individually numbered. The dress features white organic cotton and silk bouclé at the top, with an organza plissé meringue skirt. There’s a concealed zipper in back, and Goodwin customized the gown by adding a black belt and a statement clutch from Stark, too.

Her dress fit in beautifully with all of the Monique Lhuilliers and Marchesas — but has a price we can actually afford! Tell us: Would you have guessed Goodwin’s gown was more expensive?

her ears remind me of sesame street . Head handles. I am not impressed with the dress. could use something I just can’t put my finger on it.

I hate the dress. I don’t know if it is just me but her head looks smaller and smaller with each passing day…her ears on the other hand look HUGE (LIKE DUMBO HUGE)

To us regular Joes…$299 is a lot to spend on a single dress. She looks beautiful as always.

$299 is affordable these days? Must be nice to see that as “affordable.” I adore Ginnifer but that dress is a no. Sorry.

An eco friendly dress, LOL. How ridiculous! Some companies will say anything to market a dress. That dress is not really doing anything for her color wise or style wise.

that looks like one of those prom dresses they make out of toilet paper.

She’s so cute she would look good in a paper sack. Serously, it is nice to see a celebrity looking good in an “every person” dress.
