Celebrities swapped their Met Gala outfits for daring after-party looks. Here's what they wore.
Janelle Monáe
Janelle Monáe was one of the best-dressed celebrities at the 2025 Met Gala, enlisting the help of Thom Browne and "Wicked" costume designer Paul Tazewell to pull off an illusion-bending black-and-red suit that wowed on the red carpet.
And Monáe kept the theme going with her after-party look, giving us a daring interpretation of her original look.
The ensemble included a black-and-white miniskirt and blazer, which Monáe wore open to show off anchor pasties. And the look wouldn't be complete without Monáe's pinstripe top hat and monocle.
Brooks Nader
Brooks Nader's little black dress for the Met Gala was anything but simple.
From one side, the model appeared to be wearing a classic long-sleeved gown. But the one-shoulder ensemble had a daring cutoff on the other side to show off some skin.
Nader kept the rest of her look simple with a sleek ponytail and statement earrings.
Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer swapped her black and white Vera Wang ensemble for a crop top and miniskirt as she hit the Met Gala after-party circuit on Monday night.
Palmer's black crop top featured long, puffy black sleeves and matched her clutch, while her miniskirt sparkled with silver and blue embellishments.
Rickey Thompson
Rickey Thompson dazzled in a gray suit with a twist to the pinstripe trend that dominated the Met Gala on Monday night.
The actor and comedian's suit had stripes of silver embellishments that sparkled in the night.
Thompson skipped the shirt underneath, pairing his suit with a big cross necklace.
Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham kept things sleek in a silver crop top and skirt for the after-parties on Monday night.
Her ensemble was reminiscent of Lorde's look at the Met Gala, which included a silver bandeau and a bandage-style skirt.
Rihanna
Rihanna proved once again that she is the undisputed queen of the Met Gala as she announced her third pregnancy on Monday night.
And she kept her pregnant belly on full display as she swapped out of her Marc Jacobs suit dress and into her all-black after-party look.
The ensemble included a long black skirt with ties up each side and a long-sleeved black ruffle top. She topped off the look with a shiny black suit jacket and sheer lacy shoes that matched her headpiece.
Monica Barbaro
After dominating the Met Gala for years, naked dresses were almost completely absent on Monday night.
But Monica Barbaro stayed true to the mainstay trend with her sheer black number for the after-parties.
The "A Complete Unknown" star's button-up dress featured gold and pink flower embroidery, short sleeves, and ruffles on the shoulders.
Alex Consani
Alex Consani glittered in over 32,000 Swarovski crystals for her Met Gala debut on Monday night, and the sparkles didn't stop for the after-party.
The model swapped her white gown for a shimmering spaghetti-strap gold minidress, which she paired with a choker necklace that matched her bracelet and earrings.
Jenna Ortega
Ortega put a fun twist on menswear for her after-party look, donning a black bodysuit designed to look like a blazer. The garment had a plunging neckline, shoulder pads, and button detailing.
A gold brooch on her lapel, sheer tights, and black pumps completed the ensemble.
Sabrina Carpenter
After the Met Gala, Carpenter swapped her pantsless red-carpet outfit for trousers and a blouse.
However, her fuzzy yellow coat embroidered with Louis Vuitton logos stole the show. She also carried a matching yellow purse.
Rosé
Saint Laurent designed Rosé's after-party ensemble, which included a sheer black top that revealed her black bra, a black blazer coat, and a high-low skirt.
The soft-pink skirt featured a ruched hem, which evoked the idea of a bubbling glass of rosé.
Shaboozey
Shaboozey's after-party look offered a high-fashion twist on the looks he wears to perform. Hot-pink, floral embroidery covered the singer's jacket, matching the chaps on his jeans.
Both garments had bow detailing, and a white ascot around Shaboozey's neck elevated the ensemble. Pink boots tied it all together.
Megan Thee Stallion
The singer's after-party look was a continuation of the gown she wore for the red carpet, as it had the same halter neckline and sparkly fabric but a shorter hemline.
She also swapped her white cape coat for a shorter black number.
Precious Lee
Lee chose a deconstructed corset minidress for the after-party. The dress was overlaid with sheer lace and had shrug-style sleeves. Her headpiece and heels matched the dress.
Delaney Rowe
The TikToker wore all white to celebrate the Met Gala, pairing a cropped one-shoulder top with a coordinating column skirt. Swirled detailing on the bodice added some texture to the simple look.
Black sunglasses added a fun flair to Rowe's outfit.
Natasha Lyonne
Lyonne's second look of the night was a bright-red, crocheted dress. The open weave of the high-neck dress showed peeks of her skin, as did the sheer black tights she wore under it.
She contrasted the feminine garment with black boots.
Julia Fox
Fox played with denim for her post-Met Gala ensemble, wearing wide-legged shorts embroidered with the Yankees logo, laced boots, and a blue corset.
Flowers burst off the architectural top's one-shoulder neckline and hem, contrasting the industrial feel of the rest of the outfit.
Coco Rocha
Coco Rocha stayed on theme for the after-party with a tailored suit dress featuring plenty of daring cutouts.
The Canadian model's long-sleeved dress had lapels, giving it the appearance of a cropped suit jacket, while the bottom was a mermaid-style skirt.
She accessorized the ensemble with a cane and headpiece that matched her gown.

Sean Combs is relying on his celebrity skills in court — but it's a dangerous gamble: source
It's the most important performance of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' life. The rapper/actor/showman has apparently been treating the US District Court in Lower Manhattan as his stage as he is on trial fighting charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He has allegedly been working so hard to charm the jury that the judge has ordered him to stop interacting with them after Combs, who is used to playing to the crowd, repeatedly made eye contact, smiled and nodded at the eight men and four women set to decide his fate — which, if he is found guilty, could mean life in prison. Advertisement Even his wardrobe — crewneck sweaters in muted neutrals — is a calculated move. 'They're doing it for a reason … every move is thought out,' said one courtroom expert. 'You put him in a blue sweater and it's like you're trying to dupe the jury into believing that he's something he's not.' 6 Before wearing sweaters to court, Sean Combs was a dandy on red carpets. Getty Images, Advertisement 'There is no method or strategy behind Mr. Combs' courtroom wardrobe,' said a representative for Combs's attorney Teny Geragos. 'He did not choose what he's wearing, and no one is advising him on his attire — the court order was very specific about what he could wear. But Combs, who has gone gray without hair dye, is apparently so worried about his appearance he has complained the courtroom sketch artist made him look like a 'koala.' Last week, Combs was reprimanded by Judge Arun Subramanian for repeatedly nodding at jurors. She threatened to throw him out of his own trial and reprimanded him: 'It cannot happen again.' He's also nodded approvingly at one witness who played up his work ethic and appeared disapproving toward another who claimed to have been punished for poor performance. He's entered the courtroom with a smile on his face and while making a heart gesture made with his hands. Advertisement 6 A cape-clad Combs attended the 2023 Met Gala with Yung Miami. Getty Images for Karl Lagerfeld In one instance, when he and a juror both did what they could to ward off the courtroom chill — Combs rubbed his hands, the juror rubbed his arms — the music mogul reportedly looked at the juror and mouthed the word 'Cold,' receiving a smile in return. 'That can get him in trouble,' said a criminal defense attorney who represents rappers and asked not to be identified for fear that an association with Combs could look bad to his clients. 'No lawyer would tell him to do that. In fact, I would advise him against it. Judges tend not to like it.' It's unclear whether or not Judge Subramanian minded Combs engaging with the courtroom sketch artist. Advertisement 6 Combs has been known to smile and make the heart-hands gesture when entering the courtroom. REUTERS 6 Combs has told courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg, 'Soften me up a bit. You're making me look like a koala bear.' REUTERS With no cameras allowed in the courtroom, the work of veteran trial sketcher Jane Rosenberg provides the sole visual record of the proceedings. Like others before him — including Rudy Giuiani, who once told the artist, 'You made me look like my dog!' — Combs is not a fan of Rosenberg's depictions. She has said that the music mogul told her, 'Soften me up a bit. You're making me look like a koala bear.' Meanwhile, Combs, who had his own Sean John fashion line, has been turning out for court as he never did in public. It's been reported that he is alternating between five sets of sweaters, slacks and button-down shirts and two pairs of lace-free shoes (often a rule for the incarcerated). 6 The Menendez brothers, in 1993, leveraged the sweater look while standing trial for murder. AFP via Getty Images 'But, look, we're talking about Diddy. Everyone knows who he is. So it's tough to make that work,' the attorney said of the low-key, non-flashy look. 'Plus, a federal courtroom is a formal setting. I think you should be wearing a suit there. Everyone knows that he can afford a suit.' Advertisement Sweaters have also been courtroom favorites of defendants like Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey. The style of burgundy sweater worn by accused murderer Luigi Mangione while pleading not guilty sold out at Nordstrom last December. 6 Combs, now gray-haired without access to hair dye, looks quite different than he did at the Billboard awards in 2022. Getty Images The first major trial to feature defendants in sweaters was Eric and Lyle Menendez's murder trial in 1993, though the siblings favored bright blues, greens and corals in an apparent effort to appear harmless. But the attorney noted that, 'At the end of the day, how the guy dresses will go only so far. There is nothing more eloquent than the facts of the case.'

Q&A: Sha'Carri Richardson talks 2028 Olympics, boyfriend Christian Coleman
Sha'Carri Richardson is the fastest woman on the planet, but she's willingly slowing down in this current phase of her last several months have been electric for the Texas native. She etched her name into history books at the 2024 Paris Olympics with an emphatic 4x100-meter relay gold medal win alongside Olympians Gabby Thomas, Twanisha Terry and Melissa Jefferson. Richardson also took home a silver medal in the women's 100-meter race. Then, in February, she appeared in Nike's "So Win" Super Bowl commercial, alongside other powerful athletes, including Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Las Vegas Aces forward A'ja Wilson. Richardson kept going, and months later, she was cruising the 2025 Met Gala carpet. With so much happening on and off the track, it would be easy to assume that the 25-year-old might consider slowing down at some point and privately giving herself grace. However, she says grace isn't quite what she had in mind. Advertisement "I have to give myself patience of actually committing to slowing down and understanding that slowing down is continuing to go forward," Richardson told For The Win while promoting her partnership with Turtles. "I have to give myself a certain level of patience to slow down." For The Win recently chatted with Richardson about the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, boyfriend and fellow Olympic athlete Christian Coleman, and her viral stare down meme from last summer. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity. What's the hardest part about slowing down when you're not on a track? Olympian Sha'Carri Richardson wearing a crossing guard vest while holding a "slow" sign and a megaphone for Turtles. (Photo courtesy of Turtles) I would say the hardest part about having to slow down is understanding that slowing down does not take away from going forward.

What felt different about your 2025 Met Gala appearance versus your first one?

The invite, the two themes within the different Met Galas, also exuded a different energy as well. I feel like the theme of this year exuded a certain level of black excellence that I truly was proud and honored to be a part of. Advertisement The first one was my first one. I was more nervous than anything, and so I was able to take that first experience and build off of it for the second Met Gala. When you hear the term Black excellence, what does that mean to you? Black excellence is understanding. It's being Black, and showing a level of discipline, a certain level of commitment that is an inspiration ― that is an influence ― to anybody watching, but especially to our fellow black peers, family as well as fans. [It] shows no matter what is going on, to show up to be your full self despite, you know, history, despite adversity, and to be in the room and showing that there is no difference in what it is that we can accomplish. What are the deeper, hidden messages in your iconic nail designs that most people may not pick up on?

(Photo by) Honestly, when it comes to my nails, I feel like it's depending on like when you're asking. I definitely do trust my team when it comes to preparing my nails. They understand me. They understand my energy, and not just that. They understand the event itself. So, they design based off of what it is that I exude. Advertisement I'm saying the deeper message is, if anything, no matter what the design is, the relationships and my nails comes from the beautiful women within my family that have always shown me nail art from a young girl, like me being a little girl. So, I would say the deeper messages is a relationship to the women in my family, and also, I trust my team to create art every single time.

(Photo by) No, it's never too soon to look forward to L.A. Olympics. I feel like being a track and field athlete, we don't just show up for the Olympics. We have world championships. We have other meets that happen every other year as well, besides every four years. Advertisement So, right now I'm looking forward to world championships in Tokyo as the reigning world champion in the 100 in September, and as well as from there, definitely building off of that momentum to go to 2028, and continue to represent myself, hard work, my team and of course, my country team USA. What does it mean to you to have USA across your chest while potentially competing stateside? To have the brand Team USA across my chest represents a level of pride ― that I am as a Black woman, knowing that where I come from ― [which] continues to represent a certain level of resilience that my I am my ancestors wildest dreams, and I will continue to, you know, open that door up to anybody that feels like that door has been closed on them.

I trained to be the best, and there's not an option but to go out there, and no matter what happens, but to be the best."

A softball glove with softballs is pictured before Game 1 of the Women's College World Series championship series between the Texas Longhorns at Texas Tech Red Raiders at Devon Park in Oklahoma City, Wednesday, June 4, 2025. Texas won 2-1. I would say I would probably end up being a dancer. I know this sounds very like south field. I wouldn't say basketball cause I'm not tall at all, and I run too fast for the ball that's why I stopped playing. Actually, no, I would probably either be a dancer or play softball. Who is a fellow athlete that deserves more recognition? TOKYO, JAPAN - MAY 18: Christian Coleman of of the United States of America competes in the Men's 100m final during the Seiko Golden Grand Prix at National Stadium on May 18, 2025 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by) I would say Christian Coleman. And I would say Christian Coleman, due to the fact that he has shown up and done things that other male U.S. track and field athletes have not been able to do in such a long time. He continues to show up and represent himself, Team USA, Nike. Advertisement As well as his just journey of always persevering and being known as the best ... but not even just the best starter, but also showing a level of commitment to track and field that is missed by a lot of individuals that are quote unquote in the sport right now. What was your reaction to seeing your gold medal win in the 4x100-meter relay at the Paris Olympics become a meme? Honestly, I did not have a reaction to seeing that because I did it. [chuckles] ... When people ask, like, "Where did that come from?" it literally was just an energy that honestly took a life of it's own. Like, no matter what, again going back to whenever I'm on the track, leaving everything on the track. So, I feel like that's what it was. Advertisement My energy just overcame my body. I was still running, but my energy definitely had a much powerful presence and definitely had to just examine, you know, what was going on around because of the fact of, no, nothing physical was going to stop me.
