Hong Kong Designer Wows Met Gala

Watching the Met Gala this year I was very impressed to see Hong Kong-born designer Robert Wun crushing it with eight celebrities wearing his fantastic creations -- more than any other fashion label.

One social media influencer said that as soon as he heard the theme was "Costume art", he immediately knew Wun would be in demand.

He graduated from the London College of Fashion in 2012 and two years launched his eponymous fashion brand.

Wun's pieces are so sculptural, three-dimensional, playful, colourful... they definitely elicit "wow" from the audience. How he was able to pull of eight completely different looks and all executed so beautifully is quite the feat.

However, Wun has said that he is very flexible when working with people, trying to make their ideas into reality with his own stylish flourish.

Tennis star Naomi Osaka in a long white coat with puffed sleeves with specks of red -- blood? -- and underneath reveal a deep red sparkling curvaceous dress with thousands of Swarovski crystals in four shades of red.

Wun has worked with her before on her Australian Open entrance with a jellyfish-inspired outfit. 

How about arts producer Jordan Roth with a faceless mannequin hovering behind him, while he wears a long grey velvet dress with gloves. He interacted with the mannequin creating a spooky look. 

Kpop star Lisa also had some extra pairs of hands holding her floor-length shimmering veil. Wun 3-D scanned her arms in different traditional Thai dance positions, and these arms are wearing Bvlgari jewellery too! 

Singer and rapper Audrey Nuna may have been inspired by Jackson Pollack's splatter paintings for this black and white dress suit together with a hat. The black bits are actually 15,000 Swarovski beads. It's quite the dramatic entrance.

Four hands are all over Suphap's black dress

It must have been interesting for Bangkok-born fashion consultant and influencer Nichapat Suphap to have mechanical arms moving over her breasts all night. Two pairs of silver hands are over her chest and thighs on this black mermaid dress with a corseted back. The hands are apparently inspired by Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam.

Indian businesswoman and singer Ananya Birla turned heads with her metallic helmet that looked like a fantasy skull, and underneath she wore a shirt, jacket and voluminous black pleated skirt. Oh and a giant diamond choker necklace.

Then there was Norwegian billionaire Gustav Magnar Witzoe wearing a body suit that looked like abstract musculature that definitely adhered to the theme "Body as canvas".

Beyonce was absent from the Met Gala for 10 years until Monday night. She arrived last with husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy Carter, who made her debut. In front of the crowds she wore a sparkling dress with a skeleton form, but inside the party she changed into a Wun-designed figure-hugging dress in dazzling black and gold with a veil.
