Doja Cat and others at various Met Gala after parties.

While we were all tuned in to the fashion and beauty looks that adorned the Met Gala’s navy carpet last night, I was most looking forward to the after-party festivities.

Doja Cat let her natural curls fall free in lieu of her updo, and her Met Gala gold nails were freshly painted a pastel purple to match her after-party winged liner.
