What Happens At A Met Gala After Party?

This week's Met Gala, one of the most exclusive carpets in New York City, is the main event of events. But what happens after? Are people dancing at these parties or just standing around? Who is DJing and are they good? Is there drama? I’m here to give an exclusive peek into a Met Gala afterparty, offering you a behind-the-scenes experience of fashion’s biggest night.

Prior to hitting Meatpacking’s cobblestone streets, we sat at the penthouse of The Mark, drinking subpar cocktails and chatting with a few gaylebrities, Violet Chachki and Ludovic De Saint Sernin. While dressed in a full Thom Browne get-up wearing a skirt, as Samantha Jones would say is for “easy access,” I sauntered around the roof taking in the view as the carpet continued. Violet and I kiki’d about our long days and evening plans.

I asked, “Where are we heading this evening?” Violet remarked, “I’m just going where the wind takes me,” as she presented as somewhat overstimulated from Met Gala content. The performer appeared gorgeous but visibly exhausted from her intense preparation for her residency at Crazy Horse in Paris this June, yet still posing for photos when prompted.
