We love Helena Bonham Carter. We love Marc Jacobs. We love Marc Jacobs’ fall campaign, in which Helena Bonham Carter stars. We assumed Marc and Helena were BFF. We were wrong.

Elle.com recently caught up with the actress, who revealed she’s never actually met the designer. “I’ve never met Marc, but I’ve always admired his clothes,” she said. Bonham Carter also revealed that while she had a great time–”I just had a great day, I was amazed I was paid to do it”–there was one rule: her shoes had to be mismatched. “In fact there were strict instructions, ‘Please make sure she wears shoes that were different colors,’” she told the website.

We guess for one day of fun with Juergen Teller–and probably a nice paycheck, too–wearing mismatched shoes on command isn’t a bad thing.
