Awards season might be over, but it’s today’s main event that the fashion world awaits with bated breath. The inaugural kickoff to May for the style set, the 2016 Met Gala attracted its usual host of suspects who arguably debuted their most impressive red carpet moments of the year. To honor the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, the theme of the evening was “Manus x Machina,” celebrating fashion in the age of technology. As such, the unofficial dress code consisted of a deluge of high-wattage metallic numbers. Here, all the spectacular looks you need to see.
