Dua Lipa Shuts Down the Lower East Side With a Star-Studded, Smoky Met Gala After-Party
Though, the wait may have just been worth it: soon after, Dua Lipa arrived in an old-school Chanel look composed of a bra top and a pair of knit shorts along with layers of Chanel necklaces, including a strand of gumball-sized pearls. Throughout the night, with throbbing sets by The Martinez Brothers, Skepta, Jammer, and Mia Moretti, more familiar faces trickled in, like a vape-chugging Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham (in a short red dress and a head ornament), model Cara Delevingne and gal pal actors Margot Robbie and Vanessa Hudgens, a beaming Emma Chamberlain, a handsome Trevor Noah, and the angelic Penelope Cruz who seemed to quickly disappear among the throngs of people.
Among dancing designers like Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli and a buff Simon Porte Jacquemus, there was Willie Norris, who was wearing a long, tailored black insulated coat that she made herself. “I like any excuse to look very, very good,” she said, jokingly adding. “I feel like I’m having a Sex and the City moment.” Also in the mix was Succession’s Pierce princess Annabelle Dexter-Jones, girl-about-town-turned-actor. (It’s worth noting that her pixie-mullet brings out her incredible cheekbones). “It feels kind of weird, like it’s going to get weird!” she said of the space, wearing her mother’s strapless black 1993 Karl Lagerfeld-era Chloé dress. “I feel like you can do things here without anyone seeing or watching or filming it. It’s dark, in a good way.” Ominous!
Towards the end of the night, as in the very end of the night around 4 AM, two long-awaited special guests arrived: A$AP Rocky and Rihanna, who wore a custom white Chrome Hearts look that included an itty-bitty bump-revealing jacket and a long skirt with a buttoned-slit that went up to the top of the thigh. A glittering treat to the Lower East Side, courtesy of Ms. Lipa.
