The Most Risqué Looks at 2025 Met Gala After Parties Championed Naked Fashion

The 2025 Met Gala delivered its usual spectacle—dramatic silhouettes, sweeping trains, and precision tailoring that turned the red carpet into an art exhibition—as guests got dressed to honor the Black dandyism theme with their interpretation of tailoring-focused looks. But once the carpet was rolled up for the night, another transformation began for the after parties As celebrities dispersed from the Upper East Side for a string of afters across New York City, the fashion got a lot less formal and a lot more naked. 

While some celebrities dared to go naked fashion for the actual carpet, many of them waited for later in the night to get risqué. Gone were the sculptural gowns and couture suits. In their place? Barely-there dresses, strategic cutouts, and sheer fabrics that clung onto the body like a second skin. From the celebrity-studded A$AP Rocky x Ray-Ban bash to the star-filled soirée at Public Hotel, the city became a runway of naked dresses, nipple pasties, and more out-there attire.

Janelle Monáe was one of the best dressed of the night, on the red carpet and off. In an after-party look that left little to the imagination, Monáe paired nipple pasties with an otherwise sophisticated outfit: a structured blazer and tie. Other celebrities like actor Monica Barbaro took on the night in a sheer black gown that hit the floor. Natasha Lyonne went with something more edgy with her red, crocheted and see-through frock. This latest spell of celebrity looks proves one thing: the naked look isn't going anywhere soon.
