2022 Met Gala Afterparties

Tessa Thompson

This is very cute and whimsical and also looks like it would be hard to snack in, or to have a drink in, so maybe not PERFECT for a cocktail party.

Janelle Monae

This is the perfect cocktail party dress on Janelle, and the person behind them ALSO looks GLAM.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson

Kim Kardashian IS Batman.

Danai Gurira

Some of these photos are not PERFECTLY lit because they're of folks walking into the Standard at night. But! I feel confident saying this is fun on her.

This is very...nipple-oriented and also those shoes reminds me of ones I was wearing when I fell into a hole in a gutter in New York running for a cab so BE CAREFUL, EMILY.

Donatella Versace

This woman DOES know her way around a party frock.

Maisie Williams in Thom Browne

This is very cool on her but the rest star, for me, are those shoes. DREAMY.

EXCUSE ME, but this is FUN.

Sabrina Carpenter

I do love how people wear outfits for the afterparty that are clearly related to their Met Gala gown, just...party-ier.

Awkwafina

Awkwafina, on the other hand, just went and FULLY CHANGED into something way more comfy.

Winnie Harlow

This is just too short/sheer. I feel like you can go short OR sheer, but the shortsheer is getting tiredboring.

Camila Cabello

Honestly? This is really fun.

Darren Criss and Mia Swier

They JUST had a baby, so it's Mom and Dad's night out here.

Lily James

THIS is a party dress, dang!

Teyana Taylor

This is leggings, a confused pashmina, and sunglasses.

ALL of this is cute and fun, I'm pleased to report.

Jasmine Tookes and Miranda Kerr

These are not "party dresses" as much as they are "additional gowns."

Cardi B

Same here, although this is for sure more flexible than her Gala frock.

Laura Harrier

Laura Harrier looks like she WILL throw you in a lily pond if she needs to in this -- and I approve.

Ashley Park

This might be a little much? It feels very much as if she's in costume for Girls5Eva...maybe this is meant to be synergistic.

Madelaine Petsch

This is very charming, though.

Chloe Fineman

Is this giving....mild shades of Madonna???

Normani

It says something about her that she's carrying off what is essentially a boob frame around her bra?

Lucy Boynton

This is chic....AND comfortable? Well done.

Simone Ashley in Moschino

This Moschino collection was SO FUN and I'm delighted she wore this; she looks adorable.

Justin Theroux

I'll never forget the times I'd slowly realize I was sitting behind him at a variety of NYFW shows. That same realization dawned on me while I was going through these photos.

La La Anthony

There's a "La La" and "lace" pun in there somewhere....
