The only gala where all you have to do is put up your quirkiest step forward, and dress not to impress, but to annihilate; the Met Gala is no small affair. With all the top stars in attendance, predictions of who will wear what, this gala is one of a kind, and everyone dresses at their quirky best. With the theme of ‘Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology’ for the 2016 affair, all the celebs dressed futuristic. And needless to say, they look just as edgy, even in the future!
This year’s Met was all about sequins, metallic jackets, dresses, and the floral bit, that somehow always makes its ways to the gala, no matter what the theme may be.
Without much ado, we bring to you the most fantastic, futuristic outfits of the evening:
1. Claire Danes
Claire Danes’ Cinderella like dress is so simple, right? Not really. What seems like a simple gown is actually not that simple.
Here’s the real deal
Yes, this fantastic dress by Zac Posen illuminates in the dark! *WOW*
2. Naomi Watts
Always trust the veterans to do it right. Naomi Watts in this Burberry floral sequined gown looks absolutely stunning.

Looks like Alexander McQueen assembled the whole galaxy to form this beautiful piece for Nicole.
4. Miranda Kerr
Quirky and unconventionally futuristic. Trust Miranda to give you major fashion goals in this Louis Vuitton outfit.
5. Kate Bosworth
A mythology in the future requires a goddess. Behold, Kate, the goddess of the future, in this Dolce & Gabbana dress.
6. Karlie Kloss
Simple yet elegant. We know the future is bright and chic with Karlie in this Brandon Maxwell gown.

This dress is not too futuristic, but we like it anyway. The detailed belt and shoulder straps on this Prada outfit are exquisitely beautiful.

None of the other Jenners or Kardashians have made it to the list. But Kylie’s sheer dress by Balmain, and the hair, is absolutely nailing the Met look.
12. Kate Hudson
Now this dress from Versace is definitely stunning. The paper like details are beautiful and quite different from what we have seen this evening.
13. Poppy Delevingne
The beautiful beaded chandelier dress by Marchesa, the spot on accessories, and her long, luscious hair, Poppy deserves full points for doing shimmer just right.

More shimmer. But this time, it’s with an absolute crazy hairdo which we totally approve of. Hair’s the future people. Lupita is killing it in this Calvin Klein gown.
