Inside the Mulberry s Second-Annual Post-Met Gala Bash

Met Gala after-parties range from the most chic uptown soirees to the most debauched downtown gatherings. The Mulberry s wild after-party, which raged into the wee hours of Tuesday morning, certainly fell into the latter category. Since its opening last year, Mulberry has hosted some of the buzziest events in Manhattan. The unassuming entrance hides a watering hole beloved by celebrities and tastemakers alike.

Inside the moody speakeasy, music pumped through the speakers. The energy soared as cocktails circulated the wood-paneled room and McDonald’s fries offered sustenance. Stars, freshly changed from their dramatic looks earlier in the evening, swapped stories of the grand affair.

Inside, Rita Ora hung with Burberry s Daniel Lee (fresh from the after-party he hosted uptown at The Mark Hotel). Also, there was Jodie Turner-Smith, Baz Lurhmann (a fixture at most every post-gala fete on Monday), Alexander Skarsgård, and Chris Hemsworth (a co-chair of the Met Gala). By the time Hemsworth arrived, he was a bit camera-shy, given the late hour. A true sign of a successful party? Scant photos.
