Manus+x+Machina+Fashion+Age+Technology+Costume-zendaya-coleman-michael-kors

Manus+x+Machina+Fashion+Age+Technology+Costume-beyonce-givenchy

We were all in formation waiting for Beyoncé to hit the red carpet! She did so in latex Givenchy: I needed a ponytail or bun here to let the dress completely play centerstage.

Manus+x+Machina+Fashion+Age+Technology+Costume-zoe-kravitz-valentino

The Wests have arrived in Balmain! Kim’s futuristic silver gown was resplendent, but I wasn’t too keen on Kanye’s embellished jean jacket and destructed denim…the icy blue contacts were dope, but didn’t do much for his look.

Manus+x+Machina+Fashion+Age+Technology+Costume-nicki-minaj

Nicki Minaj’s black sheer Moschino gown was accented by sequin buckled straps and matching opera gloves. I’m on the fence about this one…

Manus+x+Machina+Fashion+Age+Technology+Costume-future-custom-zegna
