Everything was coming up roses\u2014literally\u2014at one of the year\u2019s most elusive and exclusive after-parties. Hundreds of them, velvety and red, clung to the walls of The Mark Hotel like fashion week veterans angling for a camera flash. And if Gypsy\u2019s<\/em> indomitable Mama Rose was anywhere in sight, she\u2019d likely have been crooning from a fainting couch\u2014or more realistically, Audra McDonald was upstairs icing her Tony-nominated vocal cords after a marathon night on the Met steps.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter made a rather cinematic return to The Mark, draped in a canary-yellow fur coat with a Vuitton bag to match, puffing on a cigar like a 1940s ing\u00e9nue who just fired her agent. Nearly 60 celebs had used the five-star Upper East Side property as their glam-up ground zero<\/a>\u2014now it was back to basecamp for the real event: the unwind.<\/p>\n

The dress code<\/a> for the evening\u2019s parties nodded to the Met\u2019s spring exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style<\/em>, and translated into something looser and lower lit\u2014\u201ctailored for you,\u201d but with a looser hemline and higher hem.<\/p>\n

By the time The Mark\u2019s signature Haute Dog Cart was dishing out hot dogs and fries, stars were already doing outfit changes worthy of backstage quick rigs. Leon Bridges swapped his red-and-black pinstripe suit for a leather look and brown tee, sipping a cocktail charmingly called The Love Commandment<\/em> beneath glimmering candelabras. Mini bottles of Don Julio 1942 dotted the room like lost earrings. Jenna Ortega, Taraji P. Henson, Shaboozey, and Padma Lakshmi made appearances, with fashion designer Willy Chavarria hosting alongside stylist duo Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere uptown, Halle Bailey, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, and Lupita Nyong\u2019o migrated to The Standard High Line, where Burna Boy\u2019s BOOM party pulsed under Grammy-winner Black Coffee\u2019s spell. Shaboozey, ever the utility player, pulled a double shift, showing up here too.<\/p>\n

Downtown, Janelle Mon\u00e1e hosted her own bash outside the Public Hotel\u2014her outfit a precise pastiche of French mime, disco debutante and art student rebellion. 7th Street Burgers was parked outside. Inside: Padma again, now joined by Questlove, Kandi Burress, Bebe Rexha and Christian Siriano. Everyone seemed to know where the fries were.<\/p>\n

Further south, Richie Akiva\u2019s usual spectacle at Casa Cipriani delivered its brand of curated chaos. Simone Biles was spotted dancing with NFL husband Jonathan Owens while Canes fried chicken\u2014yes, fried chicken\u2014circulated like caviar. Heidi Klum ditched her red carpet formalities for a sheer tank top and shades, as if auditioning for an early aughts indie film.<\/p>\n

And finally, over at Zero Bond, Stella McCartney and Charlotte Tilbury toasted under a neon sign reading \u201cLet\u2019s Stellabrate Darlings!\u201d while Anne Hathaway, crisp and camera-ready in a new blouse-and-skirt combo, smiled as Chris Rock and James Corden nibbled pizza off napkins nearby. Bombay Sapphire martinis came and went, which is more than can be said for some of the guests\u2019 dignity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
