Once the epic Met Gala red carpet is wrapped and the final bathroom selfie has been snuck inside the museum, the night is only really just beginning.
We're talking about after parties of course — and this year there were more than ever. The strategy generally relies upon logistics, so uptown parties nearby the museum and the big hotels where celebrities stay are often the first stop. This year, Willy Chavarria took over The Mark hotel for an after party, cohosted with celebrity stylists Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald of Wayman + Micah and tequila brand Don Julio. It was a reunion of Met magic for Chavarria and Wayman + Micah, who collaborated on 2025 Met cohost Colman Domingo's look for last year's Met Gala, which was Domingo's first.

Following the actual Met Gala, celebrities either stayed loyal to their red carpet look and headed straight for The Mark, or zipped up to their hotel rooms for an outfit change before heading down into Chavarria's after party.

Chavarria, who dressed Maluma for this year's gala, was at the night's center, and welcomed famous friends like Jeremy Allen White, Taraji P. Henson, Michael Kors, Maluma, Alton Mason and more. Sliders, bowls of french fries and trays of doughnuts were sent around the room as tiny bottles of Don Julio were on offer. As the night wore on, the scene inside the lobby of the hotel blended more and more with the actual party.
From The Mark it was off to any number of stops: there was of course the Boom Boom Room annual bash at The Standard, the third annual Apres Met party at WSA, cohost A$AP Rocky's party at Jean's, Doechii's and Janelle Monae's Public Hotel bash and many more.
