Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber were among the celebrities who extended the Met Gala celebrations into the night, attending exclusive after-parties and debuting new looks.

Met Gala After-Party Style

Jenner's Transformation

Kendall Jenner, who initially wore a GapStudio gown on the red carpet, changed into a satin dress featuring a corset top with a unique 'fake nipple' bodice. This design choice was a deliberate reference to the Costume Institute’s theme, inspired by the Winged Victory of Samothrace statue.

Bieber's Playful Ensemble

Hailey Bieber, previously seen in a Grecian-inspired Yves Saint Laurent gown, opted for a white mini dress for the after-party. Kylie Jenner also embraced the 'fake nipple' trend with a dramatic nude corset gown by Schiaparelli.

Other Star Sightings

Katy Perry switched her unconventional Met Gala outfit for a dusky pink mini dress with furry trim. Sabrina Carpenter added a vibrant Pucci-esque coat over her sequined mini dress, while Margot Robbie relaxed in jeans and a sparkly jacket.

Controversy Surrounds the Met Gala

Sponsorship Concerns

The Met Gala faced criticism for its sponsorship by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, with many questioning the appropriateness of their financial support.

Entertainment Backlash

The opening performance at the gala, featuring actor and singer Joshua Henry with a 12-person choir performing Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody’, was widely ridiculed on social media. Many attendees described the entertainment as resembling a 'cruise ship-style' performance.

Social Media Reaction

Critics flooded social media with negative comments, labeling the performance “tacky” and dubbing the event the “Amazon Prime Gala.” Concerns were also raised about the guest list and a perceived lack of creativity in the outfits, with some fans declaring this year’s Met Gala the “worst” yet.
