MET GALA Red Carpet Fashion 2016

/

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."

Met Gala: “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology”

Anyone else thinking about the Met Gala?!

On Monday, May 2nd, the fashion world's biggest designers will gather to a celebrity packed house for the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, more commonly known as the Met Gala - though there is nothing common about it.

The star-studded event, labeled as the Oscars of Fashion by Andre Leon Tally, will deliver a red carpet like no other. Who'll be the most creative, who will play it safe and which celebs will be show-stoppers?

This year's theme is “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” and the Costume Institute exhibition will feature more than 100 haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces.

Andrew Bolton, curator of the Costume Institute had this to say about the exhibit to Vogue: “Traditionally, the distinction between the haute couture and prêt-à-porter was based on the handmade and the machine-made... But recently this distinction has become increasingly blurred as both disciplines have embraced the practices and techniques of the other.”

This exclusive fashion party has a guest list of about 600 A-listers and quite the impressive chairing committee to include Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Jonathan Ive and Anna Wintour. Nicolas Ghesquière, Karl Lagerfeld, and Miuccia Prada will serve as honorary chairs.
