Stars from Sarah Jessica Parker to Lady Gaga walked the red carpet tonight at the 2016 Met Gala, each delivering their interpretation of the museum's new high-tech exhibit, "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology."

Orchestrated by Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, the annual affair raises more than $10 million for the museum's Costume Institute every year. This year, Karl Lagerfeld, Miuccia Prada, Taylor Swift and Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesquière served as honorary co-chairs.

Katy Perry thinks the future doesn't have eyebrows—at least judging by her bare visage. Perry's hair was swept up into a giant cone rising a foot over her head.

Claire Danes stole the show in a Zac Posen dress that was fitted with fiberoptics and lit up in the dark.

Other stars going for a metallic interpretation included Swift, Madonna, Demi Lovato, Kim Kardashian and Zayn Malik, who adorned his suit with armored sleeves.

Beyonce bucked the trend, though, making her entrance in a peach latex gown by Givenchy.

The Lemonade singer went solo on the red carpet, leaving husband Jay Z at home.

Feeling particularly maternal, a pregnant Blake Lively wore a blush Burberry gown with red petal motif.
