The fun wasn't over for the Met Gala 2013 attendees in NYC last night as they flocked to the Standard Hotel following the ball for the official afterparty at the Boom Boom Room. Madonna stripped out of her bum-baring Met Gala outfit and changed into a fishnet body stocking and black lacy lingerie to mingle with guests like Katy Perry, Allison Williams, and Frank Ocean. She wasn't the only star who made a costume change — Amanda Seyfried took off her gown and changed into a baggy black t-shirt to hit the dance floor with Frank. Meanwhile, Miranda Kerr met up with January Jones, Jennifer Lawrence arrived with Marion Cotillard, Gerard Butler mingled with Karolina Kurkova, andNicole Richie connected with Kirsten Dunst, and Mary-Kate Olsen snuggled with boyfriend Olivier Sarkozy. Mary-Kate and Olivier weren't the only couple at the late-night bash, as Jennifer Morrison was spotted holding hands with her Once Upon a Time costar Sebastian Stan and Kate Bosworth hugged Michael Polish. If you missed out on all the excitement last night, be sure to check out our collection of all the red carpet fashion from the 2013 Met Gala to get caught up!
What It's Really Like on the Met Gala Red Carpet
Our position on the red carpet at last night's Met Gala afforded the chance to observe what really takes place on the storied red carpet! It was model, designer, and actor madness as guests headed in to celebrate the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute exhibit Punk: Chaos to Couture.
Veteran attendees Gisele Bündchen and her husband, Tom Brady, shared a run-in with first-timer Kim Kardashian on the carpet, while a Valentino-clad Gwyneth Paltrow caught up with her good friend Jessica Seinfeld. Kristen Stewart wasn't bothered by the stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and Jessica Biel mingling outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, though her pal Jennifer Lawrence did do a bit of socializing with her fellow Dior spokesperson Marion Cotillard.

Met Gala: Best Dressed

The 2013 Met Gala best-dressed set could easily be likened to the fashion Olympics, and this year's Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition turnout made it harder than ever to pick only five gold-medal contenders. Beyoncé Knowles spared no head-turning detail in a custom Givenchy Haute Couture flame-embroidered gown; Gwyneth Paltrow stood out in a covered-up hot pink Valentino number; Rooney Mara played the edgy card in a custom Givenchy Haute Couture gown, complete with floral embroidery, zippers, ruffles, and a split-front opening; Jennifer Lawrence chose ladylike Dior (and that Jennifer Behr netted veil!); and Katie Holmes stunned in a downright ethereal custom Calvin Klein creation. It's a close one, but it's time for you to declare a best-dressed winner of the night.

Jennifer Lawrence Makes Her First Met Gala Appearance in Dior
Jennifer Lawrence posed for the cameras as she made her way into the 2013 Met Gala in NYC on Monday. She chose a ladylike gown by Dior — not surprising since she's one of the faces of Miss Dior — for the event, which was extraspecial since it was her first time attending. Jennifer shared a moment with fellow face of Dior Marion Cotillard as well as Sarah Jessica Parker on the carpet. On her way in, Jennifer stopped to chat about the decision-making process, which she says is pretty easy when you have the designer of Dior Couture giving you direction. Jennifer isn't the only Met Gala rookie to secure an invite to tonight's bash, since Kim Kardashian is making her first appearance as well. She'll be attending with boyfriend Kanye West, who is expected to perform at the party.

Met Gala: Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence took the ladylike route and donned a black strapless tea-length dress by Dior — an apropos pick for the current face of Miss Dior. She paired the look with a netted Jennifer Behr veil and spiked Brian Atwood platform sandals. Zoom in, and you'll see intricate beading and mini leather floral embellishments all over Lawrence's dress, which she cinched in with a skinny black leather belt. Bright red lips and diamond stud earrings finished off her red carpet outfit. What's your verdict?
