56 Exclusive Photos From The 2016 Met Gala That You Won't See Anywhere Else

Fashion's fanciest evening, the Met Gala, brings together all of the biggest celebrities for an evening of dinner, dancing and dollars (it serves as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute).

But for guests, it's also a chance to catch up with old friends, admire each other's assets (ahem, Lady Gaga and Kate Hudson) and to prove that yes, you are as cute of a couple as you seem.

Thanks to this year's theme, "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology," the gala also blessed onlookers with a bevy of elaborate accessories, playful hair colors and some very intricate designs.

While us mere mortals have nothing more than social media to rely on for a glimpse inside, we did get a good, close-up look at some of the more subtle, intimate happenings on the red carpet. Feast your eyes on all the sweet moments, dress detail shots and more than a few looks at Zoe Saldana's magnificent Dolce & Gabbana gown below.
