While attending 10 different MetGala after-parties, this Vogue editor danced with some of the most famous faces in the world. Go inside their night here:
Janelle Monáe is on top of the bar in a sequin black-and-pearl bikini, leading what must be hundreds of people in a rousing toast, champagne glasses clinking all around. She does so in a booming, sing-song voice, and the crowd quickly descends back into celebratory chaos. I stand on the periphery because I’m too intimated to head deep into the crowd, which at one point included Lizzo, Jenna Ortega, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and Olivia Rodrigo.
The bliss is short-lived. Billie Eilish is walking in, and her very presence has stirred up a photographer frenzy. In order to get “the shot,” one accidentally slams into me so hard that I’m knocked out of one of my shoes. As I fall backwards, my fries do too—onto a VIP table below. As I hastily pull myself up and pick a fry out of my hair with one foot bare on the carpet, I spy the photographer’s camera screen. “Damn,” I think. “That is an amazing photo of Billie Eilish.”at 1 a.m.
It’s a bold move, to position yourself as the grand finale of all The Met afters. A famous host can only get you so far on a night whereparty has one, and with so many different options, achieving critical celebrity mass is tough. The Nines, though, did offer something unique: No cameras.to get photographed, it can feel like a curious choice. Or a strategic one.
So they did. When I arrive, Frankie Carattini, the chicest doorman in all of New York who's wearing a Ludovic de Saint Sernin top, quickly ushers me in. Inside, I immediately spy what appears to be the entire cast of, including host Strong, Alexander Skarsgård, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, and Juliana Canfield. Cigarettes, vodka sodas, and inexplicably, a bottle of Gatorade, grace one table, while champagne and half-eaten burgers sit on the other.
