Inside BOOM's Exclusive Met Gala After-Party: Luke Evans, Adam Lambert, Kelela Performance

Following Monday evening's 2026 Met Gala, New York's elite gathered at BOOM, The Standard's High Line hotspot, for an exclusive after-party that drew both attendees of the main event and notable figures from beyond the red carpet.

The guest list read like a who's who of entertainment and fashion. Luke Evans and Adam Lambert mingled alongside A$AP Rocky, Tommy Dorfman, True Whitaker, Coco Rocha, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Janelle Monae, Misty Copeland, Grace Gummer, Lindsey Vonn, and designer Gabriela Hearst, among many others.

The evening was co-hosted by Grace, Gabriela, and Yola Mezcal. Entertainment came courtesy of singer Kelela, who delivered a live set while DJs including Samantha Ronson, Questlove, and Stretch Armstrong kept the energy high throughout the night.

Lambert made a striking appearance in silver makeup that coordinated with his ensemble, and was photographed enjoying the festivities alongside Terence Edgerson, a prominent promoter and event producer.

The Met Gala itself remains fashion's premier annual occasion, drawing hundreds of A-list celebrities to celebrate the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Art exhibition. This year's theme, "Fashion is Art," explores the relationship between garment and body through pieces from the museum's collection. The event was chaired by Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
