Celebrities walked the Met Gala in 3D-printed pieces
3D printing makes designs that would have been impossible to make with traditional textile, possible
Every year on Fifth Avenue in New York, celebrities and fashion designers come together to make waves with show-stealing and sometimes-otherworldly, exaggerated costumes.
This year, Lady Gaga won the internet with a dress that transformed into four different looks. Meanwhile, model Jourdan Dunn transformed into the biggest rose on the pink carpet — one with 21 plastic petals that weigh 30 pounds.
Dunn’s costume is only one from a collection made by designer Zac Posen specifically for the Met Gala, in collaboration with GE Additive and Protolabs, using 3D printers. Each petal from the rose dress supposedly costs over US$ 3,000 to manufacture.

This year’s theme is “Camp: Notes on Fashion.” As such, Posen drew inspiration from the nature-inspired saying: “Mother Nature can be simple, abstract, challenging, and definitely campy, in ways that are surprising, shocking.”

Actress Nina Dobrev also walked the pink carpet in a Zac Posen creation: a clear bustier that took over 200 hours to create.

At the 2016 Met Gala, Zac Posen also created the now-iconic LED gown worn by actress Claire Danes, where the theme was “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.”

ITZY’s YUNA is Infinix’s first ever global brand ambassador
Infinix is in with YUNA in the scene
Infinix is entering a new era — and the brand is bringing one of K-Pop’s most sought-after stars along the ride.
A first for Infinix
In line with the launch of the latest NOTE 60 series, Infinix has also named YUNA of ITZY as its very first Global Brand Ambassador. The company calls this a bold step forward for both innovation and style.
For the record, this is the first time Infinix has tapped a global ambassador — and the choice makes sense. YUNA is known for her confidence, vibrant energy, and unapologetic self-expression. These qualities align closely with Infinix’s “Joy Tech, Beyond Limits” philosophy.
In a statement, YUNA shared her excitement about the partnership. She said she’s looking forward to connecting with fans in a new way and creating meaningful stories together with the brand.
For Infinix, this collaboration is more than just a celebrity endorsement. It signals a shift in how the company wants to position itself globally — not just as a smartphone maker, but as a lifestyle tech brand for expressive, tech-savvy youth.
The more, the merrier
The partnership goes along the debut of the NOTE 60 Series, further fueling Infinix’s move toward a more premium smartphone experience.
Like YUNA, the NOTE 60 line also brings notable names in the table:
- Powered by Snapdragon from Qualcomm
- Design collaboration with Pininfarina
- Audio tuned with JBL
It’s a clear attempt that Infinix wanted to elevate both performance and design by blending in flagship-level specs, more refined aesthetics, and immersive sound altogether.
Infinix says this launch also marks its expansion into more premium international markets.
With YUNA as the face of the brand, the company hopes to strengthen its appeal among younger users who want both powerful hardware and a device that matches their personality.
Rather than focusing purely on specs, Infinix is leaning into storytelling — highlighting how technology can spark creativity, joy, and individuality.
With the NOTE 60 Series and YUNA front and center, Infinix appears ready to redefine its brand identity on a global scale.
