Met Gala 2016: Homeland's Claire Danes gets it right with Zac Posen's 'glow in the dark' gown

Celebrities and the elite unleashed tech-themed haute couture at the Met Gala on Monday night in New York, lighting up the Twittersphere much like a dress worn by Claire Danes. 

Danes caused an early flurry on social media wearing a Zac Posen dress, similar to Cinderella's ball gown, which was illuminated from underneath as she walked the red carpet. 

The hand-sewn creation made it necessary for Posen to make travel arrangements for the 'Homeland' actress. 

“Zac literally had a bus for me to get here, so I stood,” Danes told Vanity Fair. “I’m moving carefully. . . cautiously. I’m going to throw the after party under my dress! It’s very spacious," she added.
