Claire Danes stole the show at the 2016 Met Gala in a gorgeous Zac Posen gown. While the powder blue creation looked like any typical ball gown on the red carpet, it had a major twist when the lights went out.

Everyone’s jaw dropped when the Cinderella-esque gown lit up and glowed while the 37-year-old actress walked around the gala.

The custom gown was equipped with fiber optic lights powered by thirty battery packs, all intricately sewn into the organza fabric. With a flip of a switch, the lights made the gown literally glow in the dark.

The ‘Homeland’ star was a standout vision at the event, pairing the dress with a sleek bun, minimal jewelry, and radiant skin. Claire nailed the gala’s “Fashion in an Age of Technology” theme!

Everyone else was wearing edgy, robotic, and metallic pieces, but Claire was the only one who delivered a perfect mix of glamorous, futuristic fashion. This magical Zac Posen creation won our hearts.
