The best looks inside the star-studded Met Gala afterparty

It’s a well known fact: the most fun at any event is saved for the after party.

This year, the place to be post Met Gala was at the official Karl Lagerfeld bash held at The Mark Hotel, where the large majority of the Costume Institute’s best guests stay in New York.

With the head of Jared Leto’s furry cat costume thrown around like a beach ball, the likes of James Cordon, The White Lotus’ Alexandra Daddario and NYC nightlife royalty Amanda Lepore all streamed in via the red carpet.

American singer Teyana Taylor kept her Thom Browne, Lagerfeld inspired tweed dress and tie from the gala on, as she took a moment to pose alongside a huge, silver mould of the late designer’s head, while Lukas Gage and Chris Appleton, who were married last week in a ceremony officiated by Kim Kardashian, looked loved up wearing dark suits and no shirts.

Nicky Hilton Rothschild made a sleek appearance in an off-shoulder black gown, as she joined Everything Everything All At Once star Ke Huy Quan, who posed up a storm wearing fingerless leather gloves which were loved by Lagerfeld.

Elsewhere, the trend for dressing as Choupette, Lagerfeld’s beloved Birman cat, which swept the Met Gala arrivals continued, as one guest came in a full drag feline look complete with facial prosthetics, big white ears and furry, snow-white boots.
