Claire Danes Stuns in 'Cinderella' Gown and Literally Lights Up the Met Gala -- See the Amazing Transformation

This may be the coolest look ever.


Claire Danes
took this year’s Met Gala theme of tech-inspired fashion and ran with it.

While some stars went goth and others the glam route, the Homeland star teamed up with fashion designer Zac Posen for a truly one-of-a-kind ball gown that would have even Cinderella jealous with envy.

At first glance, the strapless, off-white ball gown looks just that: gorgeous and understated.

The fact that this is even possible is mind-blowing.

We can only imagine how life-changing it must be to see Danes’ gown in action and in person. 

Danes admitted to ET's Joe Zee on the red carpet that wearing a stellar gown like her's comes with some sacrifices. "I have a stool at the table for dinner tonight because a chair would not be possible," she said.

Claire Danes, you may have just won the Met Gala.
