On Monday night, the Metropolitan Museum of Art held its annual party popularly known as the "Met Gala."

To the New York fashion set, it's the event of the year, and A-list celebrities regularly attend.

This year, it was co-sponsored by Apple, and its theme was "Manus x Machina," or man meets machine. So many of Silicon Valley's biggest players attended this year, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple design chief Jony Ive, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and Google cofounder Sergey Brin, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

They looked marvelous: 

As co-sponsor, Tim Cook was seated at a table with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, but he made time to get around and see his other friends, including Uber CEO Travis Kalanick.

Cook's date for the night was Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. Powell currently runs Emerson Collective, a company that seeks to make investments in education.

Kalanick brought a date as well, Gabi Holzwarth, a well-known violinist.
