While many of us nestled into bed after a star-studded night of scrolling through the annual Met Gala’s carpet looks, a gaggle of Hollywood’s most notable names had their night’s second serving—of looks and chicken! 

Presented by Raising Canes, The After 2025 kicked off as many stars’ Met Monday finale at NYC’s Casa Cipriani. As Richie Akiva’s 11th annual Met Gala after-party production, he enlisted this year’s Met Gala co-host Colman Domingo alongside singers Tyla and Doja Cat, and Edward Enninful to host the event.

After the Met’s events, the guests slipped into their most tailored party couture, lining the transformed club into the luxe nightcap location. As the night was not short of stars, Sabrina Carpenter, Zendaya, Charli xcx, Dua Lipa, and V’s 154 cover star, Jenna Ortega found themselves in the mix of DJ sets from the likes of Kaytranada, Pedro, and Kitty Cash, bottomless margaritas, and fresh Chicken Fingers.

Central Cee, Babyface, Paloma Elsesser, and Tyga found themselves mixing margs at Cointreau’s bar, while designers and stylists, including Christian Cowan and Law Roach relaxed in the speakeasy lounge.

Other attendees took to the Cipriani terrace to enjoy a toast, or to the casa’s front, grabbing a bite from the Raising Cane’s food truck before rolling out as the sun rose, because what’s more couture than a post-gala midnight snack?
