AreUComing: UnhappyFem's latest dispatch from the Met Gala afterparties: 'If this is the rare fashion party where people are actually dancing, it’s also the rare fashion party where the guests are friendly'
The star of the party. Photo: Mike Vitelli/Mike Vitelli/BFA.com If you can’t believe it’s been a whole year since the last Met Gala, then you would be correct: It was just eight months ago, delayed by the pandemic.
10:09 p.m. | Expecting a paparazzi shitshow, I get to The Blond on time, but like, I presume, any other rainy Monday night in Soho, the streets are empty and no one is standing outside the club. Inside, there’s only bartenders and a couple of lazing photographers and publicists. One of the latter, representing a big New York fashion designer, bitches about the celebrity looks from tonight and their lack of gold or glamour. “I miss the Sarah Jessica Parker-Andy Cohen days,” he says.
12:50 a.m. | After another hour of waiting, it becomes clear that this party is a bust, so I extend my sympathies to the head publicist and hop in an Uber to LaQuan Smith’s party. His cotton candy brings all the girls to Hudson Yards. Photo: Mike Vitelli/Mike Vitelli/BFA.com 1:45 a.m. | Further inside, the party, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling views of the city, is filled with guests in slinky, silk dresses, patterned suits, and plenty of feathers and fur — better-dressed, I’m thinking, than most anyone featured in all of those Met Gala slideshows.

Small 2:23 a.m. | Outside, on the Edge, which is not so much serving as an Instagrammable photo-op tonight as it is a smoke deck, I meet two dewy models with heavily bejeweled faces both picking at fresh clouds of pink cotton candy. “I’m a Black model, so it’s like show up! It’s all about LaQuan. He’s sexy. Get your shit. Who else gets this view?” one says, gesturing at the city below.
So, so many models. Photo: Kadar R. Small 2:44 a.m. | Almost everyone I talk to tells me they’re a friend of LaQuan’s, and one, in a long polka-dotted cape, tells me they met 15 years ago. He doesn’t really care about the Met Gala at large; he’s here to celebrate LaQuan: “I wouldn’t rate it against the Met Gala. There’s no comparison. LaQuan’s actually in the Met now. He’s in the Met now. This is the most important moment for him, to date. Because, he’s in the Met.
