2025 Met Gala After-Party Outfits That Were Better Than the Red Carpet (Seriously)

And just like that, the first Monday in May has come and gone. I know; I'm sad too. The 2025 Met Gala red carpet was chock full of hundreds of exemplary looks and we worked hard to report on the best of the best. A few of my personal highlights included pregnant Rihanna in Marc Jacobs, Zendaya in Louis Vuitton, Zoe Saldaña in Thom Browne, Sabrina Carpenter in Louis Vuitton, and Jodie Turner-Smith in Burberry. All in all, it was a Met Gala that will go down in history books.

Now, you might be fooled into thinking that the fashion moments peaked on the red carpet. Au contraire! The Met Gala after-parties provided opportunities for celebrities to experiment with more casual, often sexier looks.
