Hunter Schafer, too, changed out of her custom Prada look—inspired by Gustav Klimt’s 1912/1913 painting "Mäda Primavesi"—into a shorter and sleeker Steve O. Smith dress before heading to the Saint Laurent festivities. 

The after-parties also included some celebs who weren't a part of the official Gala, including Olivia Rodrigo, who came hot off her SNL hosting gig.

Earlier in the night, the stars were joined by co-chairs Beyoncé, Venus Williams and Nicole Kidman inside the Met Gala. Venus was accompanied by her husband Andrea Preti, while Nicole and Beyoncé also brought special plus ones: their daughters.

Indeed, Nicole was joined by her and ex-husband Keith Urban's 17-year-old daughter Sunday Rose, while Beyoncé had husband Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy, 14, at her side. 

The two co-chairs even technically broke Met Gala rules by including their daughters: Met Gala guests are supposed to be 18 years old. However, much like the taboo selfies that still get taken every year, it seems like Anna Wintour was willing to make an exception. 

For Nicole, fashion has always been an important part of her life, especially because her grandmother and her mother were both accomplished seamstresses, often making clothes for her—and even giving her firsthand knowledge on how fashion can be used.

“Sometimes it’s armor,” the Oscar winner told Vogue in 2025. “Sometimes it’s playful, sometimes it’s sexy. It just depends on my mood. Sometimes it’s androgynous, sometimes it’s kind of, screw you.” 

For the 58-year-old, fashion is “a parallel artistic life.”
