Once the final flashes faded on the Met Gala’s grand carpet, the spirit of Superfine: Tailoring Black Style didn’t stop at the museum doors—it transformed and thrived at the afterparties. With the night’s theme celebrating the rich legacy and forward motion of Black fashion and tailoring, the afterparty looks leaned into freedom, reinvention, and attitude. This was the after-hours evolution: where structured silhouettes gave way to sultry sheers, elevated streetwear, and references that nodded to Black icons past and present. It was less about adhering to the theme and more about embodying it—with swagger, intention, and unfiltered self-expression.
