Like the steps up the museum, the Met Gala 2026 after-parties are taking stars to the next level.
After the annual Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute gala concluded May 4, the evening had only just begun for most of the stars.
Indeed, following suit from the evening’s “Costume Art” theme and “Fashion is Art” dress code, Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner and more hit up the after-parties across New York City—and everyone had a second (or first, in the case of Olivia Rodrigo, who skipped the main event but showed up for the afters) outfit to stunt.
Hailey, for her part, swapped her goddess-like Yves Saint Laurent blue gown with a golden breastplate for a little white dress for a more angelic look. The Rhode founder was joined by her BFF Kendall, who pared down her custom GapStudio look for a more subdued, yet sculpted nude gown.
