Inside the making of Uorfi Javed’s bubble dress

Sharing a behind-the-scenes clip of the making process online, Uorfi gave fans a glimpse into the amount of effort, detailing and chaos that went into pulling off the ambitious recreation.
In the behind-the-scenes video, Uorfi and her team can be seen carefully constructing the outfit while tackling multiple technical challenges along the way.

Look back at Eileen Gu’s iconic moment
The original dress worn by Eileen Gu at the Met Gala 2026 was one of the most talked-about creations of the night. Designed as a collaboration between visionary fashion house Iris van Herpen and art collective A.A. Murakami, the couture creation was called the “Airo” dress.
Created around the Met Gala’s “Fashion Is Art” theme, the futuristic mini dress explored the idea of the human body being made mostly of empty space. The outfit featured thousands of hand-formed iridescent glass bubbles attached to the garment, creating the illusion of floating constellations around the body.
What made the dress even more extraordinary was its hidden technology. Microprocessors embedded within the outfit controlled the release of pressure-driven floating bubbles, allowing the garment to almost come alive on the red carpet. According to the designer, nearly 15,000 glass bubbles were individually attached using UV light technology.
