Iris van Herpen Spring/Summer 2017 ꩜ Wave-like optical illusion dress
Eileen Gu and her iconic Bubble dress at the Met Gala 2026.
The Olympic gold medalist freestyle skier showed off the high-tech Iris van Herpen gown featuring thousands of glass bubbles that released actual bubbles as she walked the red carpet.
Hidden within the garment, microprocessors precisely coordinated the release of pressured gas bubbles, sequenced through a dedicated digital interface and calibrated to operate autonomously. 15 000 hand-formed iridescent glass bubbles were individually bonded in place with UV light, releasing constellations of bubbles that floated into the air.
Music: Herbie Hancock, Bubbles

Iris van Herpen Fall 2025 Couture
“The opening ‘Living Look’ is a first-of-its-kind vision - Inhabited by 125 million bioluminescent algae that emit light in response to movement. Created in collaboration with biodesigner Chris Bellamy @/bio.crafted, it is a living system cultivated in seawater and encapsulated in a specialized nutrient gel. A translucent protective coating allows light and air to pass through.
Rather than constructed, the dress is nurtured. Its circadian rhythm and environment are carefully tuned to its marine origin, transforming fashion into an act of care.”
