Kendall Jenner – who attended the Met Gala in a vintage Givenchy gown from Alexander McQueen’s tenure at the brand circa 1999 – continued the theme for the afterparty, wearing another look by the designer, this time from his spring/summer 1997 collection. She also stepped out in a custom Vivienne Westwood design with lace and corseting.

Also digging into the Givenchy archives for her afterparty look was Emily Ratajkowski who chose this sheer blue mini with tasselled details. The dress was from Alexander McQueen’s era at the house, from 1998. She teamed it with statement wraparound heels.

While most of the stars slipped out of their ballgowns into something mini, Penelope Cruz swapped her lace Chanel creation for something equally as elegant, a one-shouldered black evening dress.

Iris Law wore a vintage Versace gown for the main event, but slipped into a corseted white silk ensemble for the afterparty, which included white tights and a slinky scarf wrapped around her head.

Paloma Elsesser had some fun with her afterparty look in a light pink satin mini dress which featured a bubble hem and an exaggerated conical bra. She accessorised with a veil and a giant ribbon accessory.

Irina Shayk also opted for something mini and extremely detailed. The model’s dress – which was a 1960s Parisian vintage design from her own wardrobe – was completely covered in embellishment, and she teamed it with several choker necklaces by Swarovski, tights and strappy sandals.

For the 2024 Met Gala, Jodie Turner-Smith wore a bridal-appropriate white gown by Burberry, and for the afterparty, she opted for a bright yellow sequin two-piece by the brand.

Janelle Monae wore a seriously fun look to the Met Gala afterparty – a mini dress which was completely covered in googly eyes.

FKA Twigs was seen dancing up a storm at The Standard’s afterparty, where she slipped out of her bejewelled Stella McCartney dress into a one-shouldered nude dress.

Model Vittoria Ceretti looked impossibly chic in a white Alaïa gown for the Met Gala, and later switched into sheer black dress and gloves, also by the house.
