You’re likely still reeling from co-chair Dua Lipa’s vintage Chanel bridal look at the 2023 Met Gala last night because, well, same, or perhaps just catching up on all the fashion you missed — either way, we’re here to tell you the incredible outfits didn’t stop with the red carpet. After the dinner wrapped up inside the museum, the celebrities who still had energy left enjoyed a little nightcap and some even made an outfit change. Stars like Kendall Jenner and Rihanna, for example, hit up the 2023 Met Gala after-parties in fashion looks that were a little more low-key than their red carpet pieces.

Jenner, for example, traded in her custom black shimmery Marc Jacobs bodysuit for a booty-baring see-through playsuit by Nensi Dojaka. The look was inspired by a specific style on Chanel’s Spring/Summer 1994 runway, worn by supermodel Nadja Auermann. Her litter sis Kylie Jenner, meanwhile, took a different approach to her after-hours outfit, opting for an ankle-length black and white gown by Haider Ackermann. Then there was RiRi, who showed off her baby bump in a white cropped jacket and coordinating skirt with a dramatic slit. She polished off the going-out look with a medley of pearl necklaces, which was a major jewelry trend last night.

Scroll ahead for all the Met Gala after-party fashion moments, which may just be better than the actual red carpet looks.
