It's hard to believe that yet another Met Gala has come and gone, but here we are and I'm super excited to share my picks for best dressed! This year's theme was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology and while it was not understood by most of the celebrities, a few did stand out to redeem the evening. I have to say that this year I was definitely more excited than previous years, mostly because technology and fashion can be SO MUCH fun together. Claire Danes only proved that point when she arrived in a literal piece of digital artwork, and it had me in tears! The one-of-a-kind garment designed by Zac Posen, was made of custom fiber optic woven organza with 30 mini battery packs sewn into the thin organza lining. TALK ABOUT A DREAM! She is hands down my number one best dressed of the night, and I will be lusting after this dress for weeks to come. Enjoy my other picks, and let me know in the comments who was your best dressed of the night.

The fashion event of the season for me, besides the different award shows, is the Met Gala. I look forward to it every year, especially since over the past few years since more celebrities are going to it. That may or may not be a good thing, but that's up to you. This year's theme, China: Through the Looking Glass, brought out quite a few beautiful looks that played on it to a T. I was a bit disappointed with a few choices from people, but Fan Bingbing is by far the stand out of the night! Once I saw her I thought everyone else could go home, but I had a few other favorites and wanted to share my top eight! So... top eight + some honorable mentions. Enjoy!

Because I just really had to! It is my dream to attend this Gala one day, maybe in another life, and to have the ability to dress up in a ridiculously gorgeous gown. Seriously though, it seems like a fairytale being able to attend this. This year's theme was "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" that aligns with their new exhibition that comes out on the 9th. I wish I was in New York to go and see it, if any of you do let me know what it is like! I will say I was a little disappointed in a lot of the celebrities not playing on the theme. I saw a lot of elegant and basic dresses that did not go along with it, and I heard that the men were told to wear suits. WTF? But nonetheless, these are my favorites of the night and the ones that hit the nose.
Warning: There are a lot of photos.
