The exhibit features designs of clothing that are use to alter the human body, be it functional or a purely fantastic clothing.

Hollywood celebrity icons who are present at the exhibit include Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez (in Alberta Ferretti), Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (both in Armani) and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (in different gowns by Diane von Furstenberg). Vera Wang comes in her own design while top model Karolina Kurkova also wears a gown from the fashion designer. Liv Tyler is on Calvin Klein Collection, while Scarlett Johansson dons Dolce & Gabanna. Beyonce is in a tightly-bodiced Armani Prive gown while Eva Longoria wore Hollywood favorite Marchesa.

The exhibit will be open at the Met in New York throughout the summer, until September 1.
