It's the biggest event in the fashion crowd's calendar, so naturally the red carpet styles at last night's Met Gala did not disappoint. With this year's theme set as 'Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology,' metallics, 3D detailling and heavy embellishment were in abundance. Here's our pick of the best looks...

Lily-Rose Depp

Lily Rose made her Met Gala debut in a V-neck gown and matching embellished bomber jacket, both by Chanel couture (at 16, she's already a brand ambassador for the legendary fashion house).

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Is this deceptively simple white gown by Ralph Lauren a hint at what we can expect from Rosie's wedding dress? We hope so. Thanks to the metallic shoulder detail and dramatic thigh-high split, it was enough to steal the scene from other, more attention-grabbing styles.

Gigi Hadid

Gigi looked predictably gorgeous in a shimmering custom dress by Tommy Hilfiger, and made her red carpet debut with boyfriend Zayn Malik - who deserves special props for sheer commitment to the theme, turning up with a Robocop inspired metallic sleeve.

Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita's sartorial choices are always a Met Gala highlight, and this shimmering emerald dress by Calvin Klein (complete with a towering hair-do) is no exception.

Alexa Chung

Never one for over-the-top ballgowns, Alexa stayed true to her signature style in an embellished navy trouser suit by Thakoon.

Cindy Crawford

Original super Cindy showed the latest generation of models how it's done in shimmering Balmain. Still got it.

Kendall Jenner

For her third Met Gala, Kendall opted for an intricate mosaic-like dress with side cut-outs by Calvin Klein.

Kate Hudson

If Kate Hudson's intricate cut-out dress by Atelier Versace is anything to go by, the future of bridal fashion is very bright indeed.

Margot Robbie

Like Rosie, Margot kept things very simple in a white gown - this one's by Calvin Klein, and comes with a striking cut out detail and golden cuffs.

Kate Bosworth

With her laurel-leaf inspired headdress and heavily embellished gown, Kate Bosworth is a modern Grecian goddess.
