The Met Gala 2018 Afterparty Looks

The Met Gala afterparty is as glamorous as the arrivals but in a more relaxed way. Take a look at some of the celebrities' afterparty looks starting with Blake Lively who wore a button up blouse, checked skirt with matching boots and another checked blazer in a different pattern for contrast.

Kim Kardashian went from gold to black Versace dress that took an inspiration from BDSM--that is from saintly to naughty. The dress may be familiar because in 2011 Beyonce wore this dress, although with longer hemline, in a magazine photo shoot.

Amal and George Clooney were also present at the afterparty. Earlier in the event, Amal wore a Richard Quinn corset and pants combo with full floral skirt and while her red gown is still glam, it's more subdued.

It's a couple's night for Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez who traded her jeweled Balmain dress to a mini dress and faux fur coat. She completed her look with Jimmy Choo tasseled sandals.

Gigi Hadid wore a head-to-toe Versace during the afterparty. Her intricately embroidered coat and pants with attached boots are just so extra that we can't even describe how amazing she looked.

Bella Hadid continued to be on the dark side and wore a leather cropped top and pants ensemble with transparent heels that we assume is by Yeezy.

Kendall Jenner exchanged her pristine white jumpsuit with a printed slip dress that reminds of the 90's. She completed her look with strappy Jimmy Choo sandals.

Paris Jackson may be unrecognizable in her afterparty hairdo with an unexpected bandanna but she zapped major fashion statement in her one shoulder mini dress and knee-length buckled boots.

From a long gown to pants, Priyanka Chopra looks stunning. She traded her red Ralph Lauren velvet gown with a leather cropped top and pants. She completed her punk look with Christian Louboutin mesh pumps.

Rihanna changed her structured and restrained papal ensemble earlier that day to a flowing and subdued silver ensemble. She's still in the theme, though, with those layered cross necklaces.

Props to Katy Perry for serving us angel realness during the Met Gala arrivals so if there's anyone who deserves to lighten up (literally), it was her. Still in Versace, Katy was beaming in yellow.

Our modern Joan of  Arc, Zendaya, put away her silver armor to wear a colorful, jester-like Versace ensemble. She opted to wear a polka dot Christian Louboutin pumps for unusual juxtaposition.

Met Gala 2018 "Heavenly Bodies" Arrival Photos

The most fashionable event of the year has begun and we were all in shock (in a good way) when celebrities arrived one by one and walked up the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This year's theme is Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination and attendees really served us fashion fused with religion that it is hard to make a best and worst dressed list.

The first to made our jaws drop is Rihanna. I mean, how can you not love something that is referenced to a pope. This amazing creation is by Margiela. She is one of the event's co-hosts and naturally the expectations are high. Rihanna is one of the reasons why the Met Gala is one of the most anticipated events of the year.

Stunning. Blake Lively cemented her status as one of the best dressed celebrities EVER in this intricate Atelier Verscae gown. While she wasn't accompanied by Ryan Reynolds, she was able to tag along her pal Christian Louboutin. 

Another celebrity to go all out is Emilia Clarke who wore a Dolce & Gabbana embroidered gown with cherub paintings on the skirt. The "it" accessory of the evening was a crown and of course the queen of the dragons wouldn't be caught dead not wearing one. Her makeup reminiscent of the Victorian era was made possible by Jillian Dempsey. 

Arianna Grande hinted on Instagram that her Met Gala gown is inspired by the Sistine Chapel. The painted cherubs on her ball gown seems like they are rejoicing the arrival of a heavenly body. This stunning creation is by Vera Wang.

We thought Katy Perry will have a hard time topping her 2013 Met Gala look but we are so wrong. Her Versace look is as heavenly as it could possibly be. It was reported that she even  rode a convertible just to fit her wings. It is outrageously good that we live for it.

At the front, Bella Hadid's custom Chrome Hearts look can be referenced to Padme Amidala because of the exaggerated collar and gloves and the religion reference can also be seen on her skirt. The placement of a large cross on her back made a "walking away" impact.

Kim Kardashian was dripping in gold with her custom Versace gown. It was simple cut that made a huge impact because it fitted Kim's hourglass figure perfectly. 

One of the earliest to arrive is Lily Collins who stunned in Givenchy. We already know the reference of this look. We love how everything pieces together--from her headpiece, her makeup, the off-shoulder top and see through skirt, and her carrying a rosary... we died!

Jennifer Lopez is putting this Balmain dress for auction. It was announced by Olivier Rousteing earlier this day through Balmain's YouTube account. Other Balmain dresses worn today will also be auctioned off. If there is one dress, if we have at least $5K, we will place our bid on Jennifer Lopez's dress. It is stunning!

Kate Bosworth channeled a virginal woman who could make you confess your worldly sins. Her Oscar de la Renta gown looks so divine that we could almost hear angels sing.

Zendaya made a brilliant move to reference religion to one of the most notable women in the history--Joan of Arc. Her custom Versace gown sent us back to the time of the knights and warlords. If anyone else would do this look, she will fail miserably.

The Met wouldn't be complete without Madonna. Each year, she makes us lose our senses when it comes to her red carpet looks. If there is one theme that she should go all out, it is this year's. She has made several songs referenced to religion--does Like A Prayer ring a bell? Her black gown with a huge cross in the front, the veil, the crown and the black roses... we literally went bonkers.

Another Met Gala veteran is Rosie Huntington-Whitely who looks divine is Ralph Lauren caped gown. Her halo headpiece was to-die-for, it completed her saintly look.

Cardi B made a successful debut at the Met Gala wearing a custom Moschino gown by Jeremy Scott with intricate bead works and a matching head piece.

Katy Perry wore her 2018 Met Gala gown in 2013

Katy,  you have no idea how much we wish you didn't wear this in 2013 Met Gala.  Five years ago, Katy Perry was accompanied by Dolce & Gabbana at the Met Gala wearing their design. The theme back then was punk and we were not sure why Katy decided to wear such an elaborate dress with a crown and statement cross earrings that doesn't quite translate to the theme. Fast forward to 2018, her 2013 look perfectly suits this year's theme Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. If only it is not a mortal sin to resurrect this beautiful dress at the Met.

The Most Memorable Met Gala Outfits To Date

Beyonce has a lot of memorable Met Gala looks but she shut the red carpet down in 2015 when she arrived wearing a naked gown by Givenchy that began the naked gown trend in all of Hollywood.

Last year, Katy Perry arrived at the Met Gala wearing a Maison Margiela by John Galliano red gown complete with a veil. It was not the most over-the-top look of the night but it sure did make a statement.

Kim Kardashian made her first Met Gala look in 2012 memorable by wearing a floral gown by Givenchy. Admit it, it may not be the best choice to make a debut on the most fashionable event of the year, but it sure did made her career skyrocket. 

Who could forget about Princess Diana's navy blue gown with lace trimmings designed by John Galliano for Dior. She attended the gala a few weeks before her divorce from Prince Charles in 1996. 

Like Beyonce, Rihanna also has a lot of memorable Met Gala outfits but her yellow Guo Pei gown in 2015 was the one that launched a thousand memes. 

Gisele Bundchen is a Met Gala veteran having to walk its red carpet when she was just 19 years old. In 2011, like any year, she wowed us with this red Alexander McQueen gown with fish tail bottom.

This La Perla gown, which basically made Kendall Jenner almost naked, cemented her status as one of the "it" models of the decade. 

VMA 2017 Red Carpet Arrival Photos Part 1

Demi Lovato in Zuhair Murad couture see through lace top and harem pants reminiscent of MC Hammer and Casadei heels. Her perfect hair and makeup shut it down.

Nicki Minaj in bubble gum pink latex unitard that showed a major camel toe (in this photo because of the pose) and Christian Louboutin heels.

The host of the night, Katy Perry is a vision in white Stephane Rolland gown with structured asymmetrical sleeve and dangling hoop earrings.

Lorde maybe sick and opted to just interpret her song in a dance instead of singing it but she looks amazing in lavender Monique Lhuillier gown. This is a major fashion leap for the usual Lorde style.

Paris Jackson in choose to show off her skivvies in Dior two-piece and Jimmy Choo heels.

Vanessa Hudgens in Yanina Couture dress and Sophia Webster heels. While the dress is questionable, her smile says "Whatever y'all!".

Grammys 2013 red carpet arrival photos

The ever sensational Jennifer Lopez broke the rules about flashing too many flesh with this Zuhair Murad off shoulder  full leg baring gown. All I can say is that, it ain't J. Lo if she'll follow the rules.

Motherhood brought out the best of Alicia Keys, don't you agree?  She looks gorgeous in this Alaia semi-dominatrix gown.

There ain't no cleavage like Katy Perry's. This mint green Gucci dress with heavy neckline embellishment  emphasized the singers most obvious asset. 

Kimbra forgot that it is the Grammys because she chose to wear this see-through fairy dress. Hey, Halloween is 8 months from now.

Taylor Swift lookss Grecian goddess in this leg-baring J. Mendel gown. The leg-forward pose has become a ubiquitous sight during red carpet events following Angelina Jolie's famous pose at the Oscars.

Katy Perry on Elle March 2011 cover

Katy Perry graced Elle's March 2011 cover wearing head to toe Gucci from the brand's Spring/Summer 2011 Collection.

Katy Perry before she grew angel wings

Katy Perry looked ravishing in a mermaid gown during the Pre-Grammy Gala or the event before she grew angel wings. Of course, Katy Perry wouldn't be Katy Perry if she will just leave the gown as is. 

Eagles on the sides! Amazing!

2011 Grammy Awards Arrival Photos

Katy Perry arrived wearing a sparkling Armani Prive gown, Casadei heels and angel wings. 

This is the real Nicole Kidman. She's stunning from head to foot. The floral Jean Paul Gaultier really fits her personality. This is supposed to be Keith Urban's awards night but here she is, stealing the lights. Keith is such a nice husband.

I have no idea whether Lady Gaga ever got out of the shell. I still have to look for proofs.

As usual, Rihanna wore something that leaves little to the imagination. This has been done before and between the before and now... none is better. It is hard to believe that Jean Paul Gaultier made this dress.

Jennifer Lopez arrived wearing a sparkling Pucci mini dress and spiked Christian Louboutin pumps. It is the tiniest mini I have ever seen in my entire life and a little leaning forward and bending backward would lead to an unforgettable peep show.

Where is the ring master when you need one. Nicki Minaj went for head to toe Givenchy leopard print number and worst-than-beehive hair. Based on the look on her face, she's not happy with the result.

This is the better swan look. With a little Blake Lively pose and Christian Louboutin 'Ambertina' sandals,  Florence Welch's vintage Givenchy dress is one of the unique looks of the night.

Jennifer Hudson looks ravishing in this mullet Versace dress. If you have lost the pounds, flaunt your curves.
