“Ain’t no party like a Met Gala after-party because a Met Gala after-party doesn’t stop.”
If you thought celebrities only brought their A-game on the red-carpet, then think again because once the after-parties started, many of our favorite celebs did a quick refresh and gave us a second dose of mega looks that oozed sex-appeal.
From Yung Miami who delivered “BAPs” vibes with a custom headpiece and chain costume by Duran Lantink, to Kendall Jenner and Lala who were all about showing their undergarments in sheer and transparent garments, many stars rose to the occasion.
Dua Lipa, who co-chaired along with Anna Wintour at this years Met Gala, and actress Penelope Cruz remained true to the Karl Lagerfeld theme in Chanel . While Janelle Monae bared it all in a sequence and pearl bikini by Thom Browne that definitely made her look like a rockstar.
Keep things refined and elevated, Sabrina Idris and Kendall Jenner opted for the color black with Sabrina who looked flawless in a Isabel Marant high-neck sheer dress, and Kendall who took a more classical approach in a black off the shoulder Jean Paul Gaultier gown.
To brightened things up a bit, “About Damn Time” singer Lizzo glowed in a gold Paco Rabanne and Vanessa Hudgens shined in a silver Michael Kors two-piece look following Monday’s extravaganza.

Rita Ora took nail designs to whole new level for the 2023 Met Gala, but are we surprised? When it comes to experimental beauty trends, Rita is that girl. From her latest mermaid fish gills glam to the British Fashion Awards, to her most recent epic nail design moment at the 2023 Met Gala, she is not afraid to step out of the beauty box.

Rita showed up to the Met Gala alongside husband Taika Waititi wearing a black sheer 3D floral Prabal Gurung gown, however her nails was the talk of the night. Nail artist, Naomi Yasuda designed a black stiletto nail set, with full length beaded chain necklaces on every finger. Rita’s nail necklaces were glued to her mani. She paid tribute to the theme: “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” by adding a little Chanel logo that can be seen on her index finger, paying homage to Lagerfeld’s long-held position as the brand’s creative director. Now how exactly did she sit down to eat or use the restroom? Not sure, but at least she was stylish.
As for the rest of her ensemble, Rita called on makeup artist, Anthony Nguyen for a soft smoky eye and ’90s nude lip glam, which she paired with butt-length mermaid waves.
When Rihanna and A$AP Rocky walk into the room, they command unwavering attention from paparazzi and fans alike. Last night the star-studded duo arrived to the Met Gala fashionably late and it was certainly worth the wait.
Rihanna made quite the entrance in a white over-the-top, and extravagant white Valentino gown that definitely took up space in honor of our beloved, Karl Lagerfeld and the Met Gala’s preset theme, “A Line of Beauty.”

In this video, you can see Rihanna’s long satin train that was perfectly draped and layered with a cape that had a hood and external white flowers. Similar to Cardi B, Rihanna also opted for a 3D flower design- symbolic to Chanels flower logo that Karl Lagerfeld used on many of his designs.
The ‘Take a Bow’ singer accessorized with black and white cat-eye glasses and white stilettos that had a flower design centered. Her bold red lip was the perfect glam accessory to play off A$AP Rocky’s signature plaid Gucci skort.
Walking hand in hand as they strutted from the Met Gala tents, A$AP Rocky led the way in a full Gucci ensemble that included a formal look up-top and an innovative one down-below.
We love how A$AP Rocky unapologetically takes risks so seeing the way he layered his plaid skort on top of a pair of embellished jeans was quite legendary. His four Gucci belts layered across his waist looked like a modern tuxedo cummerbund.
The chemistry that the these two love birds share was evident last night on the Met Gala red carpet. We absolutely love how they match each others fly and with the pair expecting their second bundle of joy, we can’t wait to see the evolution of their family.
Haute couture with some of the most alluring, and whimsical designs painted the MET Gala red carpet yesterday evening for fashions biggest night out in New York City.
The annual event which takes place every first Monday of May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, paid tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld through an exhibition entitled, “A Line of Beauty.” With over 200 of Karl’s designs, the exhibition allowed attendees to preview past work that Lagerfeld curated during his time at fashion houses like Chanel, Fendi, Balmain and his very own eponymous line, “Karl, by Karl Lagerfeld.”
Celebrities who were specially approved by Vogue Editor-in-Chief, and ME Gala Co-chair, Anna Wintour to attend were requested to dress “in honor of Karl.” As many of us know, the German designer primarily wore black and white, which seemed to be the color scheme amongst many stars.
Jeremy Pope stunned in an over-the-top Balmain black and white cape that had Karls face painted down his train. Initially Creative Director, Balmain Rousteing walked up the MET Gala stairs with a tote bag that said, “Karl Who?” and then all of sudden Jeremy walked up the stairs and they unraveled his cape to clearly indicate who Karl was. This moment was perfectly executed to a T and definitely put Jeremy on our best dressed list.
Designer Thom Browne happen to be a fan favorite with celebs like Teyana Taylor and Janelle Monae who literally ATE in their Thom Browne ensembles. “A Thousand & One” star Teyana Taylor showed us who’s boss in a modernized suit gown that had cutouts below her waist and looked sickening on the star. While Janelle Monae took some notes out of Lady Gaga’s page book and unraveled into a second black and white look that dramatized the carpet.
Rihanna and Cardi B stayed true to the theme with their 3D flower dress designs that were reminiscent of the infamous Chanel flower logo. Not to mention Kim Kardashian and Lizzo who brought out the pearls out for the girls and were right on trend for the evening.
A few celebs were even unrecognizable at the Met Gala, hence Doja Cat who looked purrrr-fect in her cat themed bodysuit and Lil Nas X who twirled down the red carpet covered in silver paint with luxe jewels by Pat McGrath.
The stars of the night put their best foot forward and made bold fashion statements that had quite a sartorial elegance. Ahead, see which celebrities were best dressed last night and let us know your thoughts!

Kourtney and Scott Disick’s daughter offered her own take on her Karl inspired look wearing a black top and leather skirt that had a Chanel chain wrapped around her waist. She accessorized with Chanel shades and a square toe knee high boot. It’s great to see both North and Penelope following in Kim’s lead as they’re next in line to lead fashion.
As we take a look back on Kim Kardashian’s previous Met Gala looks we can’t get over her bold, elaborate and ornate gowns that have made her a show-stopper in the past and a fan favorite.

Unforgettable, and incredibly extraordinary, Rihanna took our breath away in a knockout black and white Chanel ensemble Saturday night during a dinner outing at Caviar Russe in New York city.
Many of us anticipated whether Rihanna would attend this year’s Met Gala, and from the looks of it, it’s beginning to look a lot promising. The ‘Diamonds’ singer released a series of photos on her instagram page that she jokingly captioned, “Not even Monday.”
She’s definitely giving us a preview of the heat that she’s bringing and is also letting her spectators know that she’s coming with her A-game. Hello!

Shining bright like the diamond that she is, Rihanna took us back to the 90’s in a white fuzzy Coperni dress that was completed with a black and white cropped fur jacket from Chanel’s Fall 1994 collection. The sensational and luxurious pieces were originally designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld who celebrities will pay homage to later this evening.
To tie her look together, Rihanna accessorized with a Benny Andallo fur hat and white Chanel logo shades to go with her statement diamonds earrings. For her shoe candy, she kept things simple with her black Amina Muaddi open-toe heels that had a satin pink and silver strap.
This video showcases Rihanna strutting as she left Caviar Russe on Madison Ave. with her adorable baby bump that reminded us of how fiercely fashionable the expecting mother is. Perhaps she is one of the most stylish pregnant celebrities of our time.

We’re so excited to see what Karl Lagerfeld inspired look Rihanna has up her sleeve and were also hoping to see A$AP Rocky by her side as she turns heads and shows out in another fantastical creation.
“Living my life likes it golden” were the infamous lyrics to Jill Scott’s song “Golden” and perhaps Lori Harvey would have been the perfect video girl based on how dazzling and luminous the SKN founder looked at The Prince’s Trust Global Gala Thursday evening.
The 26-year socialite arrived at Cipriani South Street in New York wearing a 2004 canary chiffon Georges Chakra gown that looked so luxurious on the gorgeous model. Her marigold embellished trousers complimented her criss-cross top that had mid and side cutouts. She looked feminine and fresh in her white Femme LA Luce Minimale open-toe sandals. Her curled bob hairdo gave the perfect touches of old Hollywood glam.

Along with Lori, other celebrities to attend the event included Doja Cat, Iman, Rita Ora, and Winnie Harlow to name a few. The event which celebrates the contributions of The Prince’s Trust, with funds being allocated to the organization’s global charities was hosted by co-chairs, Lionel Richie and Editor-in-Chief of British Vogue, Edward Enninful.
As Lori posed on the red carpet, noticeably missing was her boyfriend Damson Idris, however who’s to say the British Actor wasn’t on the set of one of his latest projects. Nonetheless, it’s evident to see that Lori can hold her own.

It was a breath of fresh air to see Lori Harvey gleaming from head to toe. Time after time, she continues to bring such fierce looks and her stylist, Elly Karamoh who also styles her step father Steve Harvey knows what proportions and silhouettes work best for the 5’3 model. We look forward to see what looks Lori will bring in May.
They say, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and that undoubtedly rings true. On Thursday, Tiffany & Co had an official grand opening for their ‘Landmark’ flagship store located on 57th St and 5th Ave.
With the slogan, “Beautiful designs makes a beautiful life,” you can only imagine the treasures and gems stashed behind their glass countertops. The rebirth of their store comes 80 + years after it was originally established by Charles Lewis Tiffany in the 1940’s and has had a total face lift. Think video walls and immersive displays with never seen before artwork and marvelous diamonds.

Symbolic of a new era for Tiffany & Co., the Landmark is much more than a jewelry store— it is a cultural hub with an exquisite showcase of architecture and superior hospitality, as well as cutting-edge art and design. It sets a new bar for luxury retail on a global scale,”said Anthony Ledru, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tiffany & Co.

The Met Gala’s 2022 Theme last year was all about Gilded Glamour, a throwback to an age roughly between 1870 and 1900, which marked a time of economic prosperity in the United States. While attendees at last year’s festivities sidled up to the theme wearing period pieces or actual gilded pieces (think gold and over the top extravagance), there were a few stand outs.
Take a look at our top picks from last year below:
Kim Kardashian in Bob Mackie
Rumors swirled that Kim Kardashian would be wearing the dress Marilyn Monroe wore to sing Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy, and all the rumors were true! Kim Kardashian shined next to then beau Pete Davidson sporting the barely there gown, uplifting the $5 million look with a platinum, Marilyn Monroe blonde high bun. While her look wasn’t the most dramatic, it certainly adhered to the theme in an almost literal way.
Cardi B In Versace
Rapstress Cardi B took the “Gilded” call seriously, and sizzled on the maroon carpet in a golden Versace gown equipped with copious chains and Medusa medallions. Gold nails and layered chains completed her look.
Teyana Taylor in Iris Van Herpen
Teyana Taylor wasn’t quite on theme, however her dramatic Iris Van Herpen gown certainly made a statement. The drama and metallic adornment certainly made her one of the best dressed of the night.
Blake Lively in Versace
Blake Lively looked like a princess in a Versace gown, equipped with metallic accents. She is one of the few who understood the assignment.
Janelle Monae in Ralph Lauren
Janelle Monae was one of the belles of the ball in a period piece by Ralph Lauren equipped with copious embellishments. She managed to stay true to her signature style, while still oozing Gilded Glamour.
Which look was your favorite from 2022?
Stay tuned for all the fun and fashion at this year’s Met Gala, whose theme is Karl Lagerfeld. It celebrates the opening of the “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” exhibit, which honors the late designer’s style and themes.
