The Met Ball, also known as the Met Gala, is an annual fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. Celebrities come out in droves to strut their stuff in costumes that fit the theme of each year’s event. 2016’s theme is “Manus X Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,” and right now there are just a few things that are STANDING THE FLIP OUT on the red carpet:
1 . Karolina Kurkova wore this Marchesa number which really outdid itself in sticking to theme.
The lights on her dress change colors depending on reactions from Twitter. Wow. #MetGala pic.twitter.com/Xdj51YWRLT
