The 2016 Met Gala was
an epic mix of art, fashion and technology. The theme for the event
held on 2 May in New York was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of
Technology, and designers experimented with new age fabrics and metallic
detailing for one of the fashion industry's biggest nights.
And who better to showcase all this couture than Hollywood's biggest names. Celebrities put their best foot forward with gowns that were simply stunning.Kate Hudson's Atelier Versace white gown had a number of elements to it, which all managed to come together perfectly. Jourdan Dunn and Kim Kardashian's metallic numbers reminded us of C3PO – that were if C3PO had a superb sense of style.
Experimenting
with latex, Beyonce's Givenchy form fitting number is sure to be one of
the hottest topics of discussion for the rest of the fashion season,
not to mention Zoe Saldanha's Dolce and Gabbana gown's feathered trail.
Our hats go off to
Zac Poesen's baby blue gown worn by Claire Danes, which on the lights
going dim, lit up like something that Hunger Games' designer Cinna might
have created.
Check out IBTimes UK's list of the Met Gala 2016's best dressed celebrities:

Beyonce in Givenchy
Beyonce may have been one of the last of the big stars to walk the red carpet, but what an impression she made in her latex Givenchy gown that fit like second skin and looked a lot like it too. The nude coloured gown had floral pearl detailing and puffy sleeves which the Lemonade star managed to pull off.

Claire Danes in Zac Poesen
Zac Poesen worked with the theme of the evening beautifully with his baby blue gown which Claire Danes wore. When walking the red carpet, the dress looked like a typical Disney princess costume, but when she entered the Gala where it was a whole lot darker, her LED dress lit up and shimmered.
Karlie Kloss at the Met Gala 2016

Karlie Kloss showed off her statuesque figure in a Brandon Maxwell number that displayed a lot of skin. The white dress had a key-hole cleavage showing front along with large side cuts that dipped all the way from below her bust, right down to her hips.

Inspired by Goth glam, Rachel McAdams wore a gold and sheer high-necked Valentino gown with golden writing all across the skirt. She topped it with dark plum lipstick and beachy waves.
Rita Ora in Vera Wang
Rita Ora had cameras flashing when she walked the red carpet in a silver feathered dress with large side cuts and a serious amount of leg showing. Like Zoe Saldana's dress, this one too had an impressive trail. Allowing attention to be focused on the dress, Ora complimented it with a pair of simple diamond studs.

Jourdan Dunn and Kim Kardashian West in Balmain
Balmain took the theme of the evening very seriously as was evident by the dresses worn by Jourdan Dunn and Kim Kardashian. While Dunn's silver sequined and black sheer outfit showed off her petit figure, Kardashian's rhinestone and polished silver and rhinestone down did little to hide her curves.

The Harry Potter actress oozed sophistication in a black and white off the shoulder CK "trousered" gown which showed off a tiny bit of skin at the hips and went on to fold and pleat its way into a severe trail.
