Look, the 2025 Met Gala wasn’t just your regular stampede of glitter and glam—it was the cosmos throwing its own fashion fiesta. On a Monday that had Mercury doing a flirtatious dance with Venus, stars didn’t just turn out in droves; they practically teleported up the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s steps, dazzling the crowds and maybe a few wayward satellites along the way. The theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” wasn’t just a nod to Black dandyism but a sartorial constellation of identity, elegance, and history woven into every stitch. And sure, the red carpet was dripping with floor-sweeping gowns and eye-popping suits—but come the afterparties? Oh, the celestial bodies really decided to loosen their ties and explode into uncharted style galaxies. Wonder if the moon was smirking at all the sartorial risks? Whatever it was, here’s your backstage pass to the looks that lit up the night long after the main event had faded. LEARN MORE.
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.
