These Met Gala After-Party Outfits Rival the Red Carpet

We came; we saw; we Met Gala'd. You've already seen all the over-the-top red carpet looks from the main event, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. For the gala itself, most celebrities explored the theme of Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, but there were no rules for the after-parties.

The result: no-holds-barred, ridiculously cool outfits, ranging from Rihanna's slouchy look to Ashley Graham's leather mini. Kim Kardashian West traded her gold red carpet look for a bondage-inspired LBD, while Jennifer Lopez changed out of her intricate Balmain gown into a sparkly minidress and feathery jacket. Scroll down to see every single noteworthy look from the Met Gala after-parties.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
