Inside the Chicest Met Gala After Parties of 2024

And just like that, the highly-anticipated event of the season has come and gone once again. But that doesn't mean the fun stops after we indulge in (and critique) some of our favorite celebrities' Met Gala red carpet fashion choices. As always, the Met Gala after-parties brought forth a whirlwind of glamor, extravagance, and sheer opulence. From Emily Ratajkowski's annual Après-Met Gala soirée to the opulent celebration at The Standard's Boom Boom Room, the who's who of the fashion and entertainment world mingled and danced the night away in their most daring ensembles. With performances from top musicians and surprise guest appearances, each party was a spectacle in its own right, offering a glimpse into the after-hours antics of the elite. Whether an intimate gathering or a star-studded affair, the Met Gala after parties provided the perfect conclusion to a night of sartorial splendor and artistic expression. After all, just because this year's theme was "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" doesn't mean that the excitement and revelry had to end once the clock struck midnight. Not to worry if you're dying to see what everyone was up to after fashion's biggest night out. L'OFFICIEL has you covered on last night's chicest parties. 

Nightlife superstar Richie Akiva helf his annual "The After." Though Akiva's Met Gala after-parties are legendary, this year marks the milestone 10th edition of his annual "The After" party, this time hosted at Casa Cipriani. It's the event for all the night owls who can't get enough of the glamorous festivities. Last year's affair stretched into the early hours and went on 'til 6 AM. Naturally, Akiva, set out to surpass expectations this year, and he did just that. With co-hosts including Doja Cat, Travis Scott, Serena Williams, Janelle Monaé, and Teyana Taylor, and a lineup featuring Chase B, Kaytranada, Zack Bia, and Hank on the decks, this year's event was nothing short of legendary.Toward the end of the night, burgers, fries, and ice cream from Neat Burger were passed around to guests.

Supermodel and Inamorata founder Emily Ratajkowski is no stranger to New York City's nightlife, nor is she one to shy away from a head-turning red carpet-style moment. So, last year, Ratajkowski decided to host a chic Met Gala After-Party with Paloma Elsesser, Renel Medrano, Raul Lopez, and Carlos Nazario. Here, attendees like Precious Lee, Kendall Jenner, and Adut Akech took the opportunity to serve looks one more time before they officially said good night.

Just like last year, Ratajkowski's AprèsMet party once again unfolded in the Financial District's iconic WSA Building. Guests like Kendall Jenner danced the night away Bad Bunny controlled the beats. The room had a dreamlike atomosphere with fluffed-up "clouds" all around the room and carefully crafted towers of champagne coups.

Following this year's "Garden of Time" Met Gala dress code, Usher hosted a "Secret Garden" after-party at The Times Square EDITION. The party drew in guests like Naomi Campbell, Taraji P. Henson, Gabrielle Union, and Willy Chavarria to name a few.  Guests also munched on hot dogs and ice cream while drifting between the dance floor and the spacious anteroom for cocktails and to catch up with each other.

Jean Paul Gaultier and Ssence hosted an exclusive party on the Upper East Side to celebrate the collaboration launch between Gaultier and the Shayne Oliver Group. Celebratory toasts and drinks were courtesy of Grey Goose's vodka martini cocktails and a myriad of notable guests were there to celebrate including Queen Latifah, Lourdes Leon, and Rowan Blanchard. 

To celebrate the biggest night in fashion, Soho House and Porsche threw an exclusive bash hosted by actor Barry Keoghan with a special live performance by British singer-songwriter Raye. The atmosphere was livened by sets courtesy of Harley Viera Newton, DJ Ross One, and Mia Moretti. Other notable guests at the bash include Victoria Pedretti, Gage Gomez, and Chiké Okonkwo.
