What an evening of fashion! The biggest stars all came to show off their most stylish threads made by the most renown designers. Every year this invite only event started by Vogue Editor-In-Chief, Anna Wintour, receives a new theme. This year at the Met Gala 2016 event the theme was Manus x Machina.

There were so many creative garments that captured the essence of the Manus x Machina Met Gala 2016 affair. Some gown highlights spotted during the Met Gala 2016 ball that we immensely enjoyed ranged from the subtle to the deliciously dramatic. Let’s begin with the more conservative yet note-worthy designs shall we?

Singer Jennifer Hudson stunned in a white floor length gown that added drama with a gorgeous flowing train. The color palette may have been considered mute or a safe choice by some but the custom HM gown’s overall design made quite the statement. Actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw also wore a beautiful white gown by designer, Gabriela Hearst. How did the technology theme play its part in the Gabriela Hearst design? The gown featured beading down the sleeve sewn by hand that spelled out the word, “love” in Morse code. We love!

Ciara, Naomi Campbell, Zendaya Coleman, Simone Boyce, La La Anthony, Jourdan Dunn and Lupita Nyong’o all wore shimmery and flashy garments. Actress Lupita Nyong’o wore a jade sequined dress by Calvin Klein and model Jourdan Dunn wore a dazzling metallic design by Balmain. Zendaya looked statuesque in an one shoulder piece by Michael Kors. Host Simone Boyce worked her “space cadet” look by Three As Four.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell showed the young’ins how it is done in an insanely beautiful garment by Roberto Cavalli. Jourdan Dunn gave us style visions of what a chic robot would adorn. She walked the carpet in metallic Balmain. Ciara’s amazing HM custom dress incorporated gorgeous crystal detailing. So many that Ciara had to stand on the way to the Met Gala so as not to break them. Now that is fashion dedication!

Do girls in black have more fun? Well by what we saw on Kerry Washington, Zoe Kravitz and Nicki Minaj it sure looked like it! Minaj made heads turn in Moschino while Zoe gave onlookers a slice of fashion heaven from the front and back in Valentino. Kerry Washington looked like a vision in Marc Jacobs. She also confirmed all the chatter about baby number two by preciously holding her baby bump. Congratulations Kerry!

Colorful garments were spotted numerous times making their Met Gala 2016 debut. The Knowles sisters both served with bold hues. Beyoncé wore a form-fitting Givenchy design while Solange wore a yellow David La Port creation. Neutral colors were also spotted on FKA Twigs and ballerina Misty Copeland. Twigs made the photographers swoon thanks to her Versace ensemble. Nevertheless, one of the biggest fashion moments of the night was owned by actress Zoe Saldana. Saldana floated along during the Met Gala 2016 in a feathered style by Dolce and Gabbana. The length literally took our breath away. Just stunning!
