The Met Gala is considered the Oscars of fashion -- and for good reason. It's where the biggest names in fashion, beauty and, of course, Hollywood gather at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art to fete the Costume Institute's annual exhibit. This year's exhibition is "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" -- so as you can imagine the red carpet looks are totally out of this world. Take a look!
