Zendaya wears colour-changing Cinderella dress to the Met Gala in New York
American actress Zendaya wore a transforming Tommy Hilfiger dress to the Met Gala last night, which changed colour using technology hidden beneath the skirt.
The actress arrived at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art for the gala wearing a full-length grey dress with puffed sleeves modelled on the blue ballgown worn by Cinderella in the Disney cartoon, accompanied by her stylist Law Roach.
At the entrance to the event, Roach waved a smoke-emitting wand and the dress slowly transformed from bottom to top, from a grey colour to a glowing pale blue shade.
Tommy Hilfiger described the dress as "an animatronic crystal-grey silk evening gown constructed to enable both visual and physical transformations of the silhouette from understated to dramatic". It said that the outfit "culminated with the gown evolving to the colour blue for its final look". The Tommy Hilfiger dress changed colour from grey to blue
Zendaya posted a series of images on Instagram that showed dress fittings, and gave a glimpse of the wiring and technology hidden beneath the bustle of the gown, which was responsible for the transformation.
The accompanying caption drew attention to the behind-the-scenes work: "Underneath the magic. Thank you to all the very very smart people who somehow built and made this dress work."
Roach also posted an image on Instagram of the pair arriving at the event.
