-You’re glowing tonight! – Oh, thank you. It’s not me, it’s just my dress. This conversation could take place at this year’s Met Ball which was held this Monday like it’s the case on every first Monday of May. The theme of this year’s Met Ball was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology and the lady in the glowing dress was Claire Danes who caught most of the attention. No surprise there!

Designer signing this unusual creation is Zac Posen, he “sourced the fiber optic woven organza in this dress from France, and there are 30 mini battery packs sewn into the gown’s understructure,” according to FastCo.

This gala event is organized for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s Costume (Fashion) Institute in New York City, the only department that has to fund itself.
