The Best Afterparty Looks From The 2025 Met Gala

Maybe it was the rain, maybe it was everyone collectively gooped over Rihanna’s casual street-style pregnancy reveal, but the pace of this year’s Met Gala was particularly off. Case in point: RiRi arrived as some guests were leaving to change for the afterparty circuit — and a circuit it was indeed. Team NYLON hit the ground running while the carpet was still technically open to get a sense of who was where (and why), and perhaps most importantly, what they were wearing.

If the staircase of the Met is proof you understand the theme, the afterparty photo-op is proof you know how to pull a look for dancing and paparazzi flash. We saw all manner of changing outfits: Hailey Bieber switched from her plain blazer dress to a velvet corset delight; Rih showed off her baby bump (as she is wont to do) in a ruched and ruffled black two-piece; and finally, Julia Fox did what she does best: whatever the hell she wants. Keep reading to see the outfit changes you may have missed in the melee of Met Gala madness.
