Met Gala 2025 afterparties: Here’s where Rihanna, Heidi Klum, Spike Lee, Janelle Monáe and more kept the night moving
NY Post
It was a fine and dandy night.
The fabulous fashion fiends and A-Listers who were specially chosen to attend the 2025 Met Gala bounced around the city — many after a quick costume change into their second look, of course —to attend a grab bag of glitzy afterparties.
The city was abuzz on the first Monday of May, from classic hotspots like Lower Manhattan’s Casa Cipriani to newer locales like the Crane Club in western Chelsea, packing the house with a who’s who.
Janelle Monáe, someone who often optimizes this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” and dandyism, welcomed guests to the PUBLIC Hotel’s nightclub Artspace for a “Phenomenal Affair,” also hosted by Grammy-winning rapper Doechii.
Questlove, Bebe Rexha, Chance the Rapper, Padman Lakshmi, Coco Rocha and more walked through the 65-foot velvet red-carpet tunnel titled the “Tunnel of Tailoring” to head downstairs to the nightclub. Monáe jumped onstage to greet the crowd, which was filled with variations of tailored suits, top hats, and a few sexy, pantless partyers rocking only leotards under their jackets.
The gracious host herself also arrived without a usually integral part of any outfit — a shirt.
When it comes to investing, Jill Silverstein’s got it in the bag.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
