What Everyone Wore to the 2023 Met After-Parties

In the wee hours of the first Monday in May, there is always a costume change.

Fashion’s biggest night is over — but it didn’t end when Rihanna finally graced the white carpet at the Met in a custom Valentino silk faille dress and cape (which included 30 giant camellia appliqués made of 500 petals as a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld) that was absolutely worth the wait. After celebrities spent hours waiting and sauntering across the carpet, they partied. Met Gala after-parties are a time to let loose, which is exactly what the stars did. Janelle Monae changed into a rhinestone bikini; Olivia Rodrigo quite literally let her hair down, and Jared Leto? Well, Jared Leto stayed in his furry cat costume dressed as Choupette, but we wouldn’t expect anything less.

Read on to see what everyone wore in the early hours of the first Tuesday in May.
