The Best Met Gala 2025 Afterparty Looks

So many outfits, so many parties, so little time.

by Kevin LeBlanc

Maybe it was the rain, maybe it was everyone collectively gooped over Rihanna’s casual street-style pregnancy reveal, but the pace of this year’s Met Gala was particularly off. Case in point: RiRi arrived as some guests were leaving to change for the afterparty circuit — and a circuit it was indeed. Team NYLON hit the ground running while the carpet was still technically open to get a sense of who was where (and why), and perhaps most importantly, what they were wearing.

If the staircase of the Met is proof you understand the theme, the afterparty photo-op is proof you know how to pull a look for dancing and paparazzi flash. We saw all manner of changing outfits: Hailey Bieber switched from her plain blazer dress to a velvet corset delight; Rih showed off her baby bump (as she is wont to do) in a ruched and ruffled black two-piece; and finally, Julia Fox did what she does best: whatever the hell she wants. Keep reading to see the outfit changes you may have missed in the melee of Met Gala madness.
