Take a Look Back at the 2023 After-Party Looks

Bad Bunny in DMY by DMY

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny was deservingly named one of GQ's best-dressed men at this year's Met Gala as he walked the red carpet side-by-side with French fashion designer Simon Porte Jacquemus while wearing an all-white ensemble designed by Jacquemus, himself. When it came to the afterparty, he was spotted with partner Kendall Jenner in a more relaxed and comfortable fit, wearing a brown suede jacket, white t-shirt and brown suit trousers. The rapper kept the look suave as he topped it with a pair of DMY by DMY sunglasses. Kendall is also a fan of this brand, as she has worn several styles in the past. Who knows, maybe she let him borrow for the evening! Shop Bad Bunny's look: DMY BY DMY Billy DMY08SB Black.           

Letitia Wright in Prada

Guyanese-British actress Letitia Wright, a Prada ambassador, attended a Met Gala after-party wearing... Prada, of course. Wearing a washed-out effect black two-piece denim ensemble, she finished the look with a thin metallic bag and thick black rectangular frames - also from the Italian fashion house. The frames worn by Wright also happen to be one of our best sellers here at Pret a Voir. Shop Letitia Wright's look: Prada PR 17WS 1AB5S0 Symbole Sunglasses.

Paris Hilton in Chanel

A long-time friend of Karl Lagerfeld made her Met Gala debut this year as she appeared on the red carpet with fashion designer Marc Jacobs while also wearing one of his designs. When the sunset and the after-parties commenced, Paris Hilton was pictured close to Jacobs, as well as her sister Nicky in none other than a pair of stunning white Chanel sunglasses paired with an intricately designed black two-piece. She certainly got the Lagerfeld memo with these frames. Shop Paris' look: Chanel 5481h 1255/S6 Sunglasses.
