So obviously we all tuned in for the 2025 Met Gala and so oh how finely tailored (the majority of) the suits were. I always set mid-to-low expectations for how well the guests will fit the theme each year, but this year I was pleasantly surprised by how on-theme most of the looks were. It was a super fun red blue carpet this year. But, IMO, the real fun starts with the after parties.

Sure, at the actual Met Gala, you get all the really wild looks. Like, can we talk about the fact that Demi Moore was dressed as a giant neck tie? But the after parties are where the stars can let their hair down and have some fun. There isn’t just one major after party for the Met Gala; instead the guests bop around all over New York to the many events that keep the night going. And the looks tend to fit that fun, party-hopping vibe.

The Met Gala after party looks are more casual than the ones for the main event, so as a girlie who appreciates a more chill hangout rather than a big ball, this is my favorite part. So join me for my very non-fashion-person opinions on the 2025 Met Gala after party looks.

Hailey went for a barely-there mico-mini when she hit the after parties solo.

After rocking a zoot suit for the main event, Zendaya was ultra femme with this sultry look.

Kendall Jenner

I mean, yeah, this still fits in with the “Tailored For You” dress code, but she’s kinda dressed more for a business lunch than a party, right?

Kim Kardashian

Kim inexplicably did a cowboy look at the Met, but I’m a much bigger fan of this fitted after party look.

A$ap was one of the co-chairs and he was all smiles hosting his own after party.

Not gonna lie, this kind of looks like something my nana would knit. But let’s take a moment for the hair!

Tracee’s T-shirt was super casual, but I can’t argue with the message.

Yes, we love a power clashing moment!

Lupita Nyong’o

Lupita is simply one of the most beautiful people alive and I just need us all to appreciate that. Did she wear her Met Gal fit to the after party? Sustainable!

Julia skipped the actual Met Gala, but she made sure to make a statement for the after parties.
