Met Gala 2016: Beyonce was there but where was Jay-Z?

The fashion theme this year was “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology”, which made for some very quirky outfits.

Last year’s Met Gala, of which the theme was China: Through the Looking Glass, generated many memes.

Sure, Swift’s banged bob has transformed into a platinum, textured look since we first saw it just a few months ago – but with her sleek bangs still intact, her style continues to remain very much in line with Wintour’s signature hairstyle.

Embracing the night’s theme – Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology – Kylie stunned all the same, and looked older than her years in a beaded Balmain number. Stars gave their best efforts in attending the event in their most fashionable ensembles yet.

Elba led the British talent on the red carpet as one of the gala’s hosts and had some fashion tips for men getting ready for the event.

Maybe Jay-Z chose to skip Monday night’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, opting instead to stay home and look after Blue Ivy. Jenner also kept her 2016 Met Gala red carpet hairstyle simple by pulling her long dark hair into a high ponytail.

Taylor Swift was indeed wearing something “short and silver” as was predicted on a Whatsapp group the night before – a mirrored Saint Laurent dress.

Bono’s daughter Eve Hewson stunned in a molten, strapless Monse dress that was given an edgy vibe with her wine-stained lip and sleek raven hair.

Blake, 28, accompanied by Christopher Bailey to the Met Gala wore a gorgeous blush Burberry gown with a phenomenal trail behind.

The former One Direction star and his model lover had gone all out for their red carpet debut as a couple, wearing matching metallic outfits.

The cascading silver beads and sequins of her custom Balmain dress were handsome, and swished as she walked (that’ll be where the scratches came from then).
