WOW, an actual princess arrived to the 2016 Met Gala when Claire Danes hit the red carpet. The actress literally lit up the night in an illuminated Cinderella-style dress, and we totally cannot get enough of the look. What do you guys think?!
Is that Cinderella?! Nope, it’s just Claire Danes, but she came pretty darn close to resembling an actual princess in her Met Gala ball gown on May 1. Besides the fact that the dress was striking on its own, though, Claire took things to a whole new level…because it lit up, too!

Claire Danes Interview: Public Scrutiny During Billy Crudup Affair ‘Was Really Hard’

Claire Danes tells Howard Stern that she didn’t realize the ‘consequences’ of her affair with Billy Crudup in 2003, when he left a seven-months pregnant Marie-Louise Parker for her.
Claire Danes, 36, is speaking out, 12 years later, on her affair with actor, Billy Crudup, which dominated the headlines. Many Homeland fans might not even realize that Claire was embroiled in quite the love triangle when Billy left Weeds actress, Marie-Louise Parker for Claire, 24 at the time, while she was pregnant! It was scandalous but even though Billy denied he left Mary-Louise for Claire, they ended up dating for two years. But Claire says in hindsight she was “just in love” and “needed to explore that,” even if it meant being the other woman.
