The 2016 Met Gala was a magical event filled with stars in every direction as far as the eye could see.

Most of the celebs in attendance stuck to the "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" theme, but we noticed something else a lot of attendees had in common: They looked like Disney characters come to life!

Did Homeland star Claire Danes not look like a live-action Cinderella in her LED-lit Zac Posen gown? She wasn't the only pretty princess decked out for the ball, though.

Blake Lively looked like Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty in a pink, flowing Burberry gown that made her baby bump almost unnoticeable.

Beyoncé's Givenchy Haute Couture latex ensemble reminded us a lot of what Michelle Williams' Glinda the Good Witch wore in the 2013 movie Oz the Great and Powerful.

Celebrities' costumes conjured up visions of Disney characters beyond just the pretty princesses, though. LaLa Anthony's pointy-shouldered Nicolas Jebran dress was reminiscent of Aladdin's Jafar.

Lena Dunham's J. Crew tuxedo paired with her round-framed glasses gave us serious Edna Mode from The Incredibles vibes.
