Best celebrity Met Gala after-party outfits from 2025 and years' past

With the 2025 Met Gala red carpet done and dusted, your favourite celebrities switched gears and let their hair down by slipping into outfits that are a little more ~comfortable~.

While we love the OTT lewks we saw earlier in the night, featuring dresses with trains longer than cars and gloriously impractical accessories, we have to admit, they're not exactly made for dancing. And after such a long evening of posing for the cameras, it's no surprise that all these celebs wanna do is get down and boogie.

If you think the best looks are saved for the main event though, wait until you see the after-party 'fits. If past years are anything to go by, the outfits on display are truly a sight to behold. We're talking Kendall Jenner cosplaying an IRL angel last year and Lily James' 2022 take on Liz Hurley's iconic safety pin dress.

We're pleased to report, this year sees more of the same. It might actually be wilder than ever – look to Janelle Monae, who heard ‘naked dressing’ and ditched a top entirely in favour of an underbust corset and nipple pasties. No shirt? No problem (apparently). And Jenna Ortega, who took inspo from her bestie Sabrina Carpenter's red carpet look and ditched her trousers in a leotard suit while *still* staying true to this year's Met theme.

Don't just take our word for it though. Scroll through to check out the must-see after-party outfits from the 2025 Met Gala and years prior, too:
