Celebrities kept the party going after the Met Gala [1] as they headed to afterparty celebrations taking place in New York City. One of the gala's cochairs, Blake Lively [2], hosted a star-studded crowd at the main party at the Standard Hotel. For the occasion, Lively traded her floor-sweeping, colour-changing Atelier Versace gown [3] for a corseted minidress [4] that still reflected the "Gilded Glamour [5]" theme. The red beaded number featured an armor-style bodice and black fringe lining the short, scalloped hem and cap sleeves. She joined the afterparty host Cardi B [6], who was clad in another Versace ensemble [7], this time a black halter dress with a plunging neckline and gilded bra cones.
"Bridgerton [8]" actress Simone Ashley also made an appearance, embracing colour in a belted leather minidress with zippered pockets and contrasting sleeves. It was a departure from her dark corset and skirt ensemble [9] on the Met Gala red carpet, but one that certainly made for an eye-catching moment.
Other stars in attendance included Dua Lipa, who skipped the red carpet but showed out in a Versace corset dress at the afterparties; Dove Cameron in an off-the-shoulder minidress; Normani in a crop top with a front cutout; and Camila Cabello, who stood out in a feathered dress and long coat.
Meanwhile, Jodie Turner-Smith [10] headed to Casa Cipriani with husband Joshua Jackson [11] for a nightcap, clad in a sporty red maxi dress from the recently unveiled Gucci x Adidas collaboration [12]. And Kendall Jenner chose Zero Bond as her afterparty stop, joining Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid in a sheer two-piece Miu Miu ensemble with pink satin lingerie peeking underneath.
Jenner's sister Kim Kardashian [13] didn't join the festivities, instead choosing to hang out with her boyfriend, Pete Davidson, after channelling Marilyn Monroe [14] on the red carpet.
