Ammon News - At New York's Met Gala, guests are known for attention-grabbing outfits, from Katy Perry's human chandelier dress to Kim Kardashian's all-black body suit.

But one attendant in particular has stolen the limelight this year – and he's not even human.

Indian-American entrepreneur Mona Patel rocked up to the annual event on Monday night with an adorable robotic dachshund in tow.

Vector the robo-dog, developed by scientists at MIT, has a 1,000-carat diamond-studded leash and his own cute little specially-fitted tuxedo.

Powered by AI and equipped with sensors, Vector has customised movement patterns and 'just the right amount of sass', Vogue India reports.

Patel herself wore a custom suit with a cape and corseted bodice from American fashion designer Thom Browne, plus a 3D-printed hat.

Vector has been modelled after Browne's dachshund, Hector, but this robotic, tuxed-up, diamond-leashed version is 'ready to outshine me at any moment,' Patel said. Daily Mail
