This year’s Met Gala in New York has been themed Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, and celebrities did not disappoint.

The Costume Institute Gala is an annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute – the only department that has to fund itself.

Charwoman Anna Wintour, famed for her role as editor of American Vogue, is one host, alongside chief designer of Apple, Taylor Swift and Idris Elba.

The event has been dubbed "the party of the year", and tickets are hard to come by, with a price of $30,000 apiece.

However, brands often invite celebrities to come for free and sit ant their table.

Last year $12.5 million was raised.

See what some of the stars wore.
