Leave it to supermodel BFFs Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber to dial up the drama for the Met Gala after-parties.

Jenner continued her Givenchy streak, showing the dexterity of her friend Matthew Williams’s design skills. Her postbox-red strapless bandeau with gargantuan bow at the back was a flirtatious contrast to her My Fair Lady tribute earlier on in the night. For Saint Laurent poster girl Hailey, more jet-black YSL eveningwear followed her first achingly simple red-carpet dress. Mixing ruffles, feathers and shimmering paillettes for a textural mash-up, Bieber’s flippy mini spelled out fun.
The night’s meme queen Kim Kardashian joined the twenty-something model crew in another classic new-age Balenciaga second-skin look. The master of shapewear has been practising slithering into Demna Gvasalia’s latest latex looks for some time; this time teaming her subversive, sheeny black all-in-one with bug-eyed sunglasses – a paparazzi-shielding tip borrowed from Isabelle Huppert, perhaps?
With a handful of post-ball bashes – from Rih’s Davide celebration to Kacey Musgraves’s Standard soirée – nothing else had quite the allure of the model bonanza. Perhaps it was the tequila.
