The Met Gala is always a source of intense debate in the fashion world, and this year was no exception. But one thing everyone agreed on this year was that Claire Danes’ dress won the show.
The theme of this year’s Met Ball, sponsored by Apple, was ‘Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology’.
And Claire Danes’ glow-in-the-dark Cinderella dress was a beauty to be hold, making the classic princess dress truly magical with the use of some awesome technology.
Fashion designer Zac Posen “sourced the fiber optic woven organza in this dress from France, and there are 30 mini battery packs sewn into the gown’s understructure,” according to FastCo.
Cinderella herself would be jealous of this dress.
Uncanny.
Stunning.
The Met Gala is held annually to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s Costume (Fashion) Institute in New York City.
The invitation-only black-tie event is held on the first Monday in May, with tickets this year going for $30,000 USD, and tables for $275,000 USD.
