Sabrina Carpenter, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and more stun in daring outfits

More joyful was Jenner’s after party look, raided from the archives of Thierry Mugler. The black mini-dress came from Mugler’s autumn 1999 La Vie En Rose collection, with a tilted hat adding extra drama.

Jenner has become a fan of Mugler’s work for unwinding, wearing a black lace dress from the designer’s 1992 collection to the Vanity Fair Oscars after party.

Sabrina Carpenter

Singer Carpenter finally found some pants at A$AP Rocky’s after party after joining Lisa in the Met Gala’s pantless trend earlier in the evening.

Carpenter changed out of a burgundy tuxedo, bodysuit and platform heels from the Met Gala’s sponsor Louis Vuitton, persisting with the showgirl aesthetic she refined in her appropriately named Short n’ Sweet tour.

For the after party, Carpenter’s statement yellow coat was adorned with oversized LV logos, and worn over a white shirt, black tie and sensible trousers.

The after party ensemble seemed a more fitting tribute to the Met Gala exhibition theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

Heidi Klum

At first glance, German supermodel Klum’s Met Gala look appeared to be an example of looking pretty first and following the theme second. On closer inspection the strapless dress from Vetements creative director Guram Gvasalia, was made from suit fabric.

Klum also managed to tie in a timely reference with the fabric, from 1978, having been sourced from a supplier to the Vatican.

There were no religious associations with Klum’s after party look, one of the few designed for the dance floor rather than the red carpet. Klum chose leather pants with a matching jacket from Vetements, and a white singlet perfect for raising your arms in the air when the beat drops.

Jenna Ortega

Actor Jenna Ortega can be excused for changing into a more comfortable Balmain bodysuit for the Met Gala after parties wearing a dress made from metal rulers to the official event.

Designer Olivier Rousteing was inspired by the art of tailoring tape and rulers for the bustier gown.
