Following the 2025 Met Gala, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," a celebration of Black dandyism and the cultural significance of fashion within the Black diaspora, a curated and culturally rich after-party unfolded at People’s, the intimate and iconic Greenwich Village destination which was once home to the Downtown Gallery. This invite-only gathering brought together the most dynamic figures across fashion, film, art, and music — offering a space where creative excellence and bold style collided deep into the night.
The evening's guests included Tracee Ellis Ross, Lorde, Jennie Kim, Charli XCX, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse, Jeremy Allen White, Natasha Lyonne, Tessa Thompson, Andrew Scott, Addison Rae, Joey King, AnnaSophia Robb, Julia Fox, Richie Shazam, Ivy Getty, Benito Skinner (Benny Drama), Chloe Wise, Ego Nwodim, The Dare, Denée Benton, Louisa Jacobson, and Aquaria, along with People’s Founders Margot Hauer-King, Emmet McDermott, and Frankie Carattini and dozens more from across fashion, film, music, and art.
DJ Cosmo, a staple of New York’s underground club scene, took over the decks for an unforgettable night, featuring surprise VIP performances. Guests enjoyed elevated bites from People’s, including burgers, fries, and caviar, paired with Saratoga Spring Water for remarkable hydration and indulgent sips of Dom Pérignon and Lagavulin Spicy Margaritas. The space was brought to life with striking, Dandy-inspired floral installations by Laurel St. Romain of Dead Flowers.
