Nina Dobrev looked amazing in a fairy-inspired mini dress at the 2019 Met Gala. Nina Dobrev took inspiration from Disney for her 2019 Met Gala ensemble. The Vampire Diaries alum looked pretty in a metallic lilac, pink and silver mini dress for the event. While the short dress from the front didn’t look like it fully fit the theme of “Camp: Notes on Fashion” when she turned around, the look transformed her into a fairy princess. The skirt flared out at the bottom to look like an upside-down rose while two tiny wings poked straight out from the sides. While Tinker Bell typically wears a green dress, we think the fictional fairy would definitely approve of Nina’s ensemble. We sure do! Speaking of Tinker Bell, the actress also channeled the Peter Pan character with her updo. She pulled her dark locks into a tight bun and wrapped a black ribbon around it. Nina finished off her look with drop diamond earrings and sparkly silver heels. But Nina wasn’t the only star to channel a Disney character at the event. Zendaya shut down the red carpet when she showed up dressed just like Cinderella. She looked gorgeous in a blue puffy-sleeved ball gown paired with a black choker, blue headband, and a purse made to look like the carriage from the Cinderella film. Her designer, Law Roach, dressed up as her fairy godmother, waving a wand around her as her dress lit up. If that wasn’t enough to capture the character, Zendaya also made sure to lose her clear heel on the way up the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.<doc-sep>Watch : Prep for 2019 Met Gala With Nina Dobrev & Charlotte Tilbury!

For this year's Met Gala, Dobrev wore a custom Zac Posen x GE Additive x Protolabs bustier. The bustier is a clear printed dress with a four-piece assembly for custom fit.

Somewhere in NYC a star just got another false eyelash attached for the 2019 Met Gala! Yes, the day has arrived: The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala is taking place today, Monday, May 6, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. And the stars are already in prep mode with their most trusted hairstylists, makeup artists and fashion stylists to put together their outfits meant to channel the evening’s “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme. Of course, stars take getting ready for any red carpet seriously, but for the Met Gala— or, you know, fashion’s biggest night of the year — it becomes an all-hands-on-deck situation. And, as always, a few of these attendees like to get their fans in on the action before the red carpet by way of selfies. behind-the-scenes pics and even occasionally the reveal of a full head-to-toe look. While the red carpet has already started (co-host Lady Gaga shut it down by unzipping several layers of outfits in front of the cameras), for most of the stars the BTS action is all we have to go on so far. A few of the pre-show highlights we’ve seen on social media: Lena Dunham prepped by munching on bacon and Nina Dobrev stopped for a little “body work,” If these sneak peeks are any indication, we’re in for a real treat. With more celebs expected to attend (including Gal Gadot, Kim Kardashian and Kayne West), we’re sure the red carpet will be one we’ll be talking about for years to come — especially with such a fun theme (inspired by a Susan Sontag essay in which she describes camp as “esoteric — something of a private code, a badge of identity even, among small urban cliques”). And with co-hosts Harry Styles and Serena Williams along for the ride it’s going to be a fun night of fierceness. We can’t wait — and neither can these stars! See who has already given the world a glimpse into their getting –ready process!<doc-sep>"This year’s Met Gala was so exciting on so many levels. I partnered with GE Additive and Protolabs to create 3D printed dresses and accessories for several of my guests," designer Zac Posen tells PEOPLE. "On top of that it was my first time having a table, and I invited a bunch of good friends — these were people that I knew would be open to having a little fun and experimenting with a new creative process." Posen dressed model Jourdan Dunn, actress Katie Holmes, actress Nina Dobrev, actress Julia Garner and actress Deepika Padukone for the big night.

"I wanted a creation that was light and felt like I was floating," Dobrev says. "Zac designed this bustier to be angelic and whimsical. At the end of the day, there was lots of talk between teams and I trust the professionals to do what they do best. Between Zac, Kate Young [her stylist], Chris McMillan [her hairstylist], and Charlotte Tilbury [her makeup artist], they discussed and decided on the direction that complemented but didn’t overwhelm the futuristic bodice and executed it beautifully."

"About a month and a half before the Met Gala, Zac’s team had me do the most untraditional fitting I’ve done to date: They put me in a spandex body suit and I stood on a platform opposite a camera that snapped 360 degree photo," Dobrev explains. "It took a minute and a half for about 15 to 20 photos, which I had to stand completely still for. We did this about six times." The result? A polymer bustier made for her, and her alone. "It was a pretty futuristic fitting concept," Dobrev continues. "Pretty cool and cutting-edge."

What she loves about working with Posen is how "he designs for each individual woman, to create something that makes them beautiful and special." Dobrev and Posen at their final fitting.
