Maria Sharapova easily responded to Met Gala's go-extravagant-or-go-home fashion standard, making her first appearance at the event in a poppy red satin slip dress accessorized with a giant earring, while Caroline Wozniacki also opted for red glamour, although not as groundbreaking.
The theme of the 2016 Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala was "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology", inviting celebrities, models and designers to explore the relationship between handmade and machine-produced clothes.
Sharapova chose a body-skimming dress by Colombian designer Juan Carlos Obando, who likes to include unexpected details in his clothes, like these loose shoulderless sleeves.
