Let’s be honest, this year’s Met Gala was a real snooze. Then Karolina Kurkova showed up and literally lit up the red carpet. Her Marchesa gown designed by Georgina Chapman had lights sewn in and with the help of IBM technology she glowed. Even without the tiny lights, she still would’ve won the night. Her dress is what Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology is all about. If anyone knows what the hell that means. Everyone was expectingZac Posen’s Cinderella fiber optic dress to be the Bell of the Ball, but it was a huge let down on Claire Danes who was washed out in the gown. While Posen’s design only wowed in the dark, Marchesa’s looked enchanting in the sunlight and in the dark of night.
Don’t you just want to own that dress, so you can feel like all the Princesses we read about when we were little girls?
Before people were taking photos of Candice Bergen, she was telling them to use Polaroid cameras to take pictures. She looks the same now as she did when she was 29 in that 1976 commercial.
