Met Gala After Parties 2024: All Of The Best Looks You Didn't See On The Met Steps
From Kendall Jenner to Janelle Monáe and SZA, here's a round up of the best after party outfits.
If a person’s first Met Gala ensemble whispers, then their second – which is worn to one of a handful of after parties – almost always shouts.
Arguably the queen of the Met Gala after party, Kendall Jenner (who can forget that sequined, Chanel-inspired Nensi Dojaka one-piece from last year?) continued her reign this year in a duo of angelic LWDs (Little White Dresses). The first dance floor-ready mini, which continued Jenner's ethereal embrace of lace, came courtesy of Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood while her second was an angelic white Givenchy by Alexander McQueen SS97 dress featuring actual IRL angel wings.
Elsewhere on the party circuit was Euphoria's Storm Reid in an all-black get-up and Janelle Monáe who ensured all eyes were on her (quite literally) in an eyeball-adorned Moschino dress. In case you missed them, we've rounded up the
Kendall Jenner
In her second Met Gala after party look of the evening, the 818 founder borrowed from the Alexander McQueen archive for this angelic LWD, which was a part of the late designer's SS97 collection for Givenchy.
Emily Ratajkowski

Taking to an after party, Emily Ratajkowski swapped her 'naked' archival Versace gown for a sheer party dress from the Italian fashion house.
Charli XCX
Following on from the all-white Marni look she wore to the main event, Charli XCX slipped into something all around more dancefloor appropriate in a mini lifted straight from the label's autumn/winter 2024 collection.
Shakira
Nothing says 'after party' quite like a flesh-flashing David Koma dress, which Shakira made a solid case for while decked out in Messika diamonds.
SZA And Lizzo

Is there anything more joyous than two friends carrying on the night together? Absolutely not, and SZA and Lizzo are proof.
Kendall Jenner
Continuing on from the theme of her Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood lace gown for the Met Gala itself, Jenner's inaugural ethereal Met Gala after party look of the year also came by way of the British fashion house.
Cardi B
To host her very own FWRD x Revolve Met Gala after party, Cardi B slipped into a scarlet bustier-style gown.
Barry Keoghan
Attending the Soho House x Porsche after party, Barry Keoghan further cemented his love for Burberry in a head-to-toe look courtesy of the brand.
Storm Reid
After attending the Met Gala itself as a guest of Coach, Reid changed into something comfier before hitting the after party circuit.
Taraji P Henson
Taraji P. Henson switched her white Simkhai gown for a tailored all-black ensemble for the after party.
Gabrielle Union And Dwyane Wade
After attending their fifth Met Gala together in co-ordinating Michael Kors, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade switched it up into matching Versace get-ups for the after party.
Teyana Taylor
Teyana Taylor opted for a second skin-style two piece as she stepped out to host one of New York City's many Met Gala after parties.
