Met Ball 2016: All the pics
Last night, the fashion world host one of the biggest, most glamorous, parties in the world - the 2016 Met Ball Gala.
This year's theme, Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, looked at the distinction between garments created in the Haute Couture handmade process vs machine-made and was fully embraced. Celebrities turned out in their futuristic finery and the red carpet was awash with sparkles, silver and sequins.
