Let’s Met this occasion began! Cardi B leads stars at afterparties
Cardi B pulled out all the stops to host her own Met Gala afterparty in New York on Monday night.
As the stars continued the celebrations into the night across the city, the rapper, 31, emerged from The Mark Hotel in a slinky red corset gown after changing out of her dramatic black tulle red carpet dress.
Cardi, who is no stranger to hosting a Met Gala afterparty, put on a busty display as she arrived at Silencio to host the FWRD & Revolve bash.
The Superbass hitmaker gave Kim Kardashian a run for her money as she showed off her tiny waist with the corset design, just hours after Kim had shocked with her cinched in dress.
Cardi’s gown laced up at the back and had a slit which showed off her legs. She teamed the glamorous look with matching red heels and added a glittering diamond necklace for good measure.

‘It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,’ said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.
‘One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.’
Stars in attendance on the night included Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Cardi B and Emily Ratajkowski.
Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham hosted while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain was on hand to interview stars on the red carpet.

‘This year’s co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,’ Vogue shared.
The showcase features approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection — with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.
The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea and sky.
