At the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2016 Costume Institute benefit—which celebrated Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology and was produced by Raul Avila—the 'red' carpet in the arrivals tent (inspired by a DNA double helix) was patterned and handpainted sisal, with a red-and-pink double helix extending up the steps and into the museum's Great Hall. It took six months to stencil the carpet, a first for Avila and his team. 'We decided for the first time to bring the helix concept to guests the moment they arrived,' said Avila, the Met Gala's long-standing producer. 'It’s the party of the year, so you really have to make it look like the party of the year.'

'We worked with Artists Creating Entertainment to create costumes for a dozen performers mirroring the Mondrian Collection, designed by French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent in 1965—but with a cheeky, creative twist. These human LEGO 'mini-figures' provided key guest engagement roles at the event, as well as fun photo ops throughout the cocktail party.'

Teams of triathletes pedaled bike generators provided by Arizona-based ASE Power. The athletes' motion discharged electricity into the event's power grid.
