The American designer took over the first floor of The Carlyle-including restaurant Dowling’s, Bemelmans Bar, and the Renzo Mongiardino–designed gallery-for his impeccably curated affair. Party Two: Tom Ford at The Carlyle Hotelĭo you need me to tell you that the Tom Ford party was good? Because, like everything Tom Ford does, it was good. A quick look back tells me they’re visibly annoyed.

It’s midnight, and the room is filling up, but I’ve still got a lot more parties to hit. Except this time the cameras aren’t just in one place-they’re all over New York. You’ll frantically spend an hour of your night trying to get on the list.įor the famous faces attending the Met Gala, the after-parties act as a sort of secretive second red carpet of the night, where they debut high-fashion night-out looks mere hours after their formal gala fits. A fourth party is always thrown by another A-lister, which no one seems to know is happening until maybe two hours before it actually does.

Another is thrown by an impossibly chic co-chair with impossibly chic taste where, if you are lucky enough to get an invite, you spend the entire evening praying that you, too, can be this chic.

There is only one Met Gala, but Met Gala after-parties? There are a lot of those.
