Rihanna’s racy Met Gala afterparty outfit
After turning up to the Met Gala in a giant cloud of material, Rihanna went for the polar opposite look at the afterparty.
The most OTT event on the Hollywood calendar – the Met Gala – has continued into the night with a string of afterparties across New York City attracting a bevy of outrageously-dressed celebrities.
After showing up to the Met Gala in a puffer jacket-style dress, Rihanna took a completely different approach for her afterparty.
The singer wore a black T-shirt and beaded sheer skirt – which left very, very little to the imagination.
Kendall Jenner was seen in a strapless red minidress with a luxurious train as she left the Carlyle Hotel to head out for the second part of the evening.
Earlier, she’d hit the red carpet on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a bejellewed “naked” Givenchy dress.
Kim Kardashian stayed committed to her full-coverage style and changed into a second Balenciaga all-black outfit as she headed out to Justin Bieber’s exclusive afterparty.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly couple-dressed with a sparkly red and black theme.
Lorde ditched her racy white two-piece suit – which attracted plenty of attention at the Gala – in favour of a brightly-patterned, flowing gown … and sneakers.
Genius.
Also cleverly choosing comfort: Emily Blunt, who kept her Miu Miu Met Gala outfit on, but added white sneakers (what would Miranda Priestly say?!).
Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams eliminated her skirt for the second part of the evening.
Grimes stuck to her usual low-key style (earlier, she had accessorised her Met Gala look with a giant sword).
Kaia Gerber swapped her long, strapless black Oscar de la Renta gown for a short lace LBD as she held hands with Kissing Booth star boyfriend Jacob Elordi.
Also clutching hands as they headed out for the night: singers Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, who had opted for a more casual monochrome look after arriving at the Met Gala in a sequined purple Michael Kors ensemble.
Despite being spotted with rumoured new girlfriend Zoe Kravitz at the afterparty, Channing Tatum was riding solo as he headed home for the night.
US rapper Megan Thee Stallion and actress Eiza González both showed up in shiny neon mini-dresses.
Brooklyn Beckham and his fiancee Nicola Peltz kept up the glam as they hit the afterparties.
After walking the Met Gala red carpet in a Conner Ives dress – chosen by Vogue editor Anna Wintour herself – Natalia Bryant changed into an elaborately layered black dress featuring sheer panels.
The 18-year-old daughter of late basketballer Kobe Bryant hit the afterparties with her mum, Vanessa Bryant, who was looking glam in a green wrap dress.
The Met Gala has been organised by Vogue editor Anna Wintour since 1995, and has become a much-loved celebration of fashion which also raises funds – usually around eight figures – for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
It also coincides with the opening of the Museum’s annual fashion exhibition.
The Met Gala boasts one of the most exclusive guest lists on the celebrity calendar, and always attracts the cream of the Hollywood crop.
According to Page Six, guests have to pay between $US30,000 to $US50,000 ($A41,000 to $A68,000) per ticket (tables can range between $US275,000 to $US500,000, or $A375,000 to $A683,000) – although the costs are usually covered by fashion brands who invite celebrities and models as their guests.
