Carry on, Orlando Bloom
Last night, celebrities, models, costume designers and New York City's class of elite gathered in Manhattan to celebrate the world of fashion at the 2016 Met Gala.
This year, the theme was "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" and while some red carpet swooners decided that meant elegant black ensembles with wisps of silver threaded throughout, others decided to lean more heavily into the theme. Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik suited up with a pair of metallic robotic arms, for example, while others wore outfits that responded to tweets and changed color based on commands sent in.
What caught our eye at Polygon, however, was Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom's integration of Tamagotchis into their formal wear. Some ridiculed the duo for the gimmicky look and some applauded them for their embracement of nostalgic sentiment, but it got us thinking about just how much of an influence video games have had on fashion over the years.
