The Met Gala is the pinnacle of fashion, and this year’s event, themed Garden of Time, was no exception. The red carpet bloomed with floral motifs and intricate lace, setting a glamorous tone. As the night progressed, celebrities traded their formal attire for more relaxed and dance-ready outfits at the after-party. This shift allowed them to let loose and exude confidence in their fashion choices. Let’s take a look at who dazzled with their stylish ensembles at the after-party.

Dua Lipa chose a custom ensemble designed by Marc Jacobs for the occasion. Drawing inspiration from the designer’s Fall ’94 collection, her outfit featured a crystal-encrusted bralette paired with black tuxedo trousers accented by a dazzling waistband. Completing the look were fishnet opera gloves, a faux fur stole and a headpiece adorned with a net veil.

Cardi B exuded elegance in a custom-made red gown co-designed by REVOLVE Atelier and Kollin Carter. The gown featured intricate corset detailing, a plunging neckline and a fitted skirt that cascaded into a stunning trail. Complementing her look were her blue manicure and eyeshadow.

Kendall Jenner stole the spotlight at the party with two breathtaking white dresses. Her first ensemble featured a white leather corset adorned with feathers, a masterpiece from Givenchy’s Haute Couture Spring Summer 1997 collection by the iconic Alexander McQueen. For her second look, she opted for a lace mini dress designed by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood, exuding elegance and sophistication.

Emily Ratajkowski opted for an archival sheer dress from Alexander McQueen’s collection for Givenchy. Layered over her black bikini set, the dress boasted fringes in shades of blue along the hem. Additionally, it featured a halter neckline adorned with an abstract print in shades of blue, white, black and orange that further enhanced the ensemble’s eye-catching appeal.

Winnie Harlow opted for a chic yet casual all-white ensemble, consisting of white denim paired with a simple white tank top. Adding a stylish twist, she left her denim unbuttoned, revealing her bikini bottoms underneath. Elevating the look, she accessorised with carefully chosen diamond jewellery that complemented her attire beautifully.
