Once a year, the fashion elites and celebrities will all gather at The MET Gala event where they are given the chance to dress up and showcase their fashion sense which most of the time is out-of-this-world weird and downright peculiar. Basically it’s where fashionistas and oddballs meet to socialize in their expensive designer costumes. This year is no exception as the MET Gala is back with the theme “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.” A lot of celebrities took the theme to heart and went the “futuristic” route with a platinum colour palette. A certain common household item namely the aluminum foil was to be thanked as it seemed to be the inspiration for the night.

So THAT'S where all the computer motherboards went...

Aluminum foils aside, a certain lady actually stole the limelight at the gala. Or, she was kind of THE light of the night. Homeland star, Claire Danes wowed guests as she sashayed her way in with a custom glow-in-the-dark Zac Posen dress.

Looks like a normal dress now…but wait.

And, if we had the chance to wear the dress, we'd definitely be prancing around in it just like Cinderella did.

Whatever it is, we feel that Claire Danes deserves the Best Dressed Award for bringing the party to The MET Gala. All hail Princess Danes!
