The most talked-about part of the Met Gala is always the fashion on the red carpet — best dressed, worst dressed, and most on theme — but for the celebrity attendees, walking the Met steps is just the beginning of the night: following the private dinner inside the museum, for which some have their first wardrobe switch-up, including co-host Dua Lipa, are multiple after-parties taking place around New York City — this year, allegedly 10 — for which guests first pop back to their hotel rooms to switch into party-appropriate looks.

Margot Robbie switched out her vintage Chanel gown for a short sequin minidress, Kendall Jenner wore a see-through romper designed in ode to old Chanel, and Rihanna, who showed up to Dua Lipa’s party at 4am, wore a cropped jacket and low-rise skirt.

With all the skin-baring, shimmering outfits on display, one person who stood out from the crowd was supermodel Irina Shayk. Swapping out of the white Yohji Yamamoto gown she wore on the red carpet, Shayk eschewed expectations by ditching dresses altogether and instead opting for a pair of grey sweatpants. Shayk teamed the low-key lower-half with heeled boots, a ribbed white tank, which she wore without a bra, adding a bit of nighttime through her bold diamond jewellery.

Shayk, who held a maroon bomber, kept her Met Gala glam on for the rest of the night, leaving her brunette hair in its relaxed wavy hairdo and bright raspberry eyeshadow with a matching lip.
