A Night of Met Gala After-Parties: From Empty Rooms to Star-Studded Dances
A Vogue reporter embarked on an extensive night of after-parties following the 2026 Met Gala, starting at The Carlyle around 10 p.m., only to encounter an unenthusiastic crowd. She moved on to a GQ event at Café Zaffri, co-hosted by several celebrities, but found it lacking excitement. At a private affair for a French fashion brand, she mingled with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Mick Jagger. A quick visit to Baz Luhrmann's gathering preceded her arrival at Zero Bond, hosted by Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter. The night concluded at The Box with Kate Moss, finishing her evening at the Bowery Hotel by 4 a.m.
