Best-dressed, no question about it, goes to Claire Danes wearing Zac Posen. We have to really hand it to Zac Posen whose concept truly embodied the Met Gala's theme: "Manas X Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology." Claire Danes was reminiscent of the elegant, old Hollywood glamour of the past but the dress gave a nod to the future by lighting up, transforming the look into something wondrous and fantastical, like a Disney Cinderella.

The Balmain Army was well represented with Kim, Kanye, Kylie and with one of the original supermodels, Cindy Crawford, who flawlessly wore Balmain on her back and Olivier Rousteing on her arm.

The Queen, Anna Wintour, arrived in a stunning Chanel; not a hair out of place.

Lady Gaga rocked it out in 10" heels and Madonna show it out, revealing her buttocks. [Not pretty.] 

Silver and white were the colors du jour. Most celebs had fun with the theme and played with their version of it. Many interpreted 'fashion in an age of technology' through textile. Like Beyonce in latex.

The Met Gala proved it really is the "Oscars of Fashion."

"China: Through the Looking Glass" was the theme of the 2015 Costume Institute Benefit Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - Met Gala. Some celebrities found the hidden tiger, while others couldn't see the crouching dragon and missed the mark all together. Thank you to Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, among others, who "got it" and worked with the Met Gala theme to present a chic and creative interpretation. Some A-listers, not too comfy with pushing the gold-trimmed envelope, represented in a more subtle way by embracing Asian detailing such as patterns, sleeves or colors. And then you have the celebs that are too self-absorbed and in love with themselves and gave us the same old, tired red carpet bores. (Evidently) this year's must-have accessory is a fashion designer. Cher, Gaga, Kate Hudson, J.Lo and Katy Perry wore and dated their designer to the Met Gala.
