The stars turned out in droves for the 2025 Met Gala on Monday, turning heads on the red carpet while ascending the iconic steps at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on what has become the fashion world’s biggest night.

But the attention-grabbing looks didn’t stop there, with many attendees hitting the gala’s afterparties in style.

The official dress code of this year’s Met Gala was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” a nod to Black dandyism and the significance of fashion in the “formation of Black identities.” And from floor-sweeping and sequined gowns to surprising bodysuits, pantsuits and just plain suits, celebrities — and their designers and stylists — did their best to honor that theme.

At the afterparties, though, there was no formal dress code — and the stars seemed to let loose.

Here’s a roundup of fashion from this year’s post-gala party circuit.
