Met Gala after-parties bring together exes Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, Cardi B and Offset: See the photos

When the Met Gala ended on Monday night, some revelers were just getting started.

Many of the VIP guests dispersed across New York to attend parties, including Usher’s “Secret Garden” bash at the Times Square Edition and FKA Twigs's blowout at the Boom Boom Room in the Standard Hotel.

Take a peek inside the after-parties.

After the main event — at which the model turned heads in a 1999 Givenchy by Alexander McQueen dress and the singer (real name: Benito Martinez Ocasio) served as a co-chair — the exes caught up at the Après Met 2 Met Gala After-Party for a drink and close convo. Their split was announced in December.

Jenner made more than one outfit change to hit the party circuit. In addition to the lace dress by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood she wore while reconnecting with Bad Bunny, she also fluttered around New York City's Tribeca neighborhood in another vintage look from Givenchy by Alexander McQueen from 1997, featuring a winged corset bodice and flowing skirt.

Also on the "Are they or aren't they?" list: The couple, who called it quits in December, held hands at Richie Akiva's Met Gala After-Party at Casa Cipriani. Her dress was a little easier to move in than the showstopper she wore to the gala, which required multiple handlers on the red carpet.

EmRata appeared to have no fun at all at the Après Met 2 Met Gala After-Party, which she co-hosted with Carlos Nazario and Raul Lopez.

She changed out of the sheer vintage Atelier Versacedress she wore to the gala, for this also see-through look. It was vintage Givenchy by Alexander McQueen from 1998 and was entirely hand-beaded.

The singer, in a velvet suit with a boutonniere on steroids, put people in the party mood at the party he hosted along with his new bride, Jennifer Goicoechea. According to Vogue, he danced with guests to his song “Good Kisser."

Usher danced on into the night. After an outfit change, to all black, he also hit the dance floor at Richie Akiva's party.

Who could take their eyes off the Knives Out 2 actress and singer? Nobody, as she caught up with Doja Cat at Richie Akiva's event in this eye-catching look. Doja Cat's hand placement made her nude ensemble camera-friendly.

Songstress Camila Cabello shed 15 pounds of dress when she changed out of her heavy Met Gala ensemble to this party look to let loose with Lil Nas X at Richie Akiva's party.

It was her party — and she could stand on the bar if she wanted to.

While Sánchez's Met Gala look may have been underwhelming to some critics, despite a reported assist by gala chair Anna Wintour, she continued the celebration, with her fiancé by her side, at the Boom Boom Room.
