Once the couture came off Monday night&mdash;sometimes quite literally&mdash;New York transformed into a playground for fashion insiders, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrities</a>, and creatives looking to celebrate into the early hours.

At the parties hosted by designers (and, often, a liquor brand), folks piled in to ring in a festive spirit.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/willy-chavarria" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Willy Chavarria</a> and Don Julio hosted a handful of celebrities at The Mark; <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/tags/stellamccartney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stella McCartney</a> and Charlotte Tilbury turned Zero Bond into an all-night escape; LaQuan Smith turned Ludlow House into a bash with champagne and cognac; and Apr&egrave;sMet returned for its third edition with an underground edge in the Financial District. No matter where the night ended, one thing was clear: the 2025 Met Gala is one that'll go down in the books for being one of the best.</p>
