Daring Outfits Stars Wore to the 2025 Met Gala After-Parties | Invesloan.com

Janelle Monáe was one of the best-dressed celebrities at the 2025 Met Gala, enlisting the help of Thom Browne and “Wicked” costume designer Paul Tazewell to pull off an illusion-bending black-and-red suit that wowed on the red carpet.

And Monáe kept the theme going with her after-party look, giving us a daring interpretation of her original look.

The ensemble included a black-and-white miniskirt and blazer, which Monáe wore open to show off anchor pasties. And the look wouldn’t be complete without Monáe’s pinstripe top hat and monocle.

Brooks Nader’s little black dress for the Met Gala was anything but simple.

From one side, the model appeared to be wearing a classic long-sleeved gown. But the one-shoulder ensemble had a daring cutoff on the other side to show off some skin.

Nader kept the rest of her look simple with a sleek ponytail and statement earrings.

Keke Palmer swapped her black and white Vera Wang ensemble for a crop top and miniskirt as she hit the Met Gala after-party circuit on Monday night.

Palmer’s black crop top featured long, puffy black sleeves and matched her clutch, while her miniskirt sparkled with silver and blue embellishments.

Rickey Thompson dazzled in a gray suit with a twist to the pinstripe trend that dominated the Met Gala on Monday night.

The actor and comedian’s suit had stripes of silver embellishments that sparkled in the night.

Thompson skipped the shirt underneath, pairing his suit with a big cross necklace.

Ashley Graham kept things sleek in a silver crop top and skirt for the after-parties on Monday night.

Her ensemble was reminiscent of Lorde’s look at the Met Gala, which included a silver bandeau and a bandage-style skirt.

Rihanna proved once again that she is the undisputed queen of the Met Gala as she announced her third pregnancy on Monday night.

And she kept her pregnant belly on full display as she swapped out of her Marc Jacobs suit dress and into her all-black after-party look.

The ensemble included a long black skirt with ties up each side and a long-sleeved black ruffle top. She topped off the look with a shiny black suit jacket and sheer lacy shoes that matched her headpiece.

After dominating the Met Gala for years, naked dresses were almost completely absent on Monday night.

But Monica Barbaro stayed true to the mainstay trend with her sheer black number for the after-parties.

The “A Complete Unknown” star’s button-up dress featured gold and pink flower embroidery, short sleeves, and ruffles on the shoulders.

Alex Consani glittered in over 32,000 Swarovski crystals for her Met Gala debut on Monday night, and the sparkles didn’t stop for the after-party.

The model swapped her white gown for a shimmering spaghetti-strap gold minidress, which she paired with a choker necklace that matched her bracelet and earrings.

Ortega put a fun twist on menswear for her after-party look, donning a black bodysuit designed to look like a blazer. The garment had a plunging neckline, shoulder pads, and button detailing.

A gold brooch on her lapel, sheer tights, and black pumps completed the ensemble.

After the Met Gala, Carpenter swapped her pantsless red-carpet outfit for trousers and a blouse.

However, her fuzzy yellow coat embroidered with Louis Vuitton logos stole the show. She also carried a matching yellow purse.

Saint Laurent designed Rosé’s after-party ensemble, which included a sheer black top that revealed her black bra, a black blazer coat, and a high-low skirt.

The soft-pink skirt featured a ruched hem, which evoked the idea of a bubbling glass of rosé.

Shaboozey’s after-party look offered a high-fashion twist on the looks he wears to perform. Hot-pink, floral embroidery covered the singer’s jacket, matching the chaps on his jeans.

Both garments had bow detailing, and a white ascot around Shaboozey’s neck elevated the ensemble. Pink boots tied it all together.

The singer’s after-party look was a continuation of the gown she wore for the red carpet, as it had the same halter neckline and sparkly fabric but a shorter hemline.

She also swapped her white cape coat for a shorter black number.

Lee chose a deconstructed corset minidress for the after-party. The dress was overlaid with sheer lace and had shrug-style sleeves. Her headpiece and heels matched the dress.

The TikToker wore all white to celebrate the Met Gala, pairing a cropped one-shoulder top with a coordinating column skirt. Swirled detailing on the bodice added some texture to the simple look.

Black sunglasses added a fun flair to Rowe’s outfit.

Lyonne’s second look of the night was a bright-red, crocheted dress. The open weave of the high-neck dress showed peeks of her skin, as did the sheer black tights she wore under it.

She contrasted the feminine garment with black boots.

Fox played with denim for her post-Met Gala ensemble, wearing wide-legged shorts embroidered with the Yankees logo, laced boots, and a blue corset.

Flowers burst off the architectural top’s one-shoulder neckline and hem, contrasting the industrial feel of the rest of the outfit.

Coco Rocha stayed on theme for the after-party with a tailored suit dress featuring plenty of daring cutouts.

The Canadian model’s long-sleeved dress had lapels, giving it the appearance of a cropped suit jacket, while the bottom was a mermaid-style skirt.

She accessorized the ensemble with a cane and headpiece that matched her gown.
