For most of the world, the extent to which we get to see what goes on at the annual Met Gala starts and ends with the red carpet. There, the biggest stars of music, television, film and sports walk the red carpet in avant-garde looks designed by some of fashion’s biggest visionaries and legacy brands, all coinciding with a different theme. This year, the dress code was “Tailored for You” in honor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new costume institute exhibit, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” focusing on “the role of sartorial style in forming Black identities” and “the emergence, significance and proliferation of the Black dandy.” Under those guidelines, co-chairs A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton and Colman Domingo, plus superstar guests Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Doechii, Sabrina Carpenter, ROSÉ, LISA, JENNIE and many more, showed up and showed out in elaborate looks marked by structured jackets, neutral colors and poignant head- and neckpieces.
But what happens after all those stars brave the camera flashes and red-carpet interviews and head inside? That’s the part we don’t get to see as much of, not to mention the various afterparties that go down once the dining and mingling of the actual gala conclude.
Luckily, anyone wanting a peek at the most exclusive parts of fashion’s biggest night needn’t look any further. Below, Billboard has rounded up all of the best photos of everything that happened after the carpet, both from inside the Met and amongst parties held by the likes of Pharrell, Public’s, Boom at the Standard, the Brooklyn Chop House and more.

Michelada Fest, set to take place in Chicago July 19-20, has been cancelled, organizers announced on Tuesday (May 6).
“Due to the uncertainty surrounding artist visas and the rapidly changing political climate, we’re no longer able to guarantee the full experience we had dreamed up for you with all your favorite artists,” the statement issued on Tuesday reads. “Although we tried to push through, it became clear that we wouldn’t be able to deliver the full lineup as planned.”
Set to be headlined by Grupo Firme, Luis R Conriquez, Anitta and Danny Ocean, Michelada Fest — co-produced by Big Indie, Zamora Live and Viva Tu Musica — cancels amid an ongoing conversation about how the Trump administration’s immigration policies could continue to impact the live music industry, particularly in Latin music spaces. Meanwhile, Mexican artists who sing narcocorridos have been under the spotlight recently with Mexican states cracking down on banning the style of music. The U.S. government has taken a stance on the situation as well, to the point of cancelling visas for Los Alegres del Barranco.
“This was not an easy decision for us to make,” the statement continues. “For seven years, we’ve poured everything into this festival to create something truly special for our community. Last year was our most incredible celebration yet, and we were ready to make this year even bigger, with more energy, creativity, and corazón. But as independent organizers, we can’t afford to take on a big risk with so much uncertainty ahead.

“We’re heartbroken by the greater impact this will have on our involved community, with ripple effects reaching our neighborhoods, local economy and the culture we’ve built together. But despite this setback, we remain committed to our values. Michelada Fest will always be a safe place where our community comes together, united by pride and love of our culture and music. That won’t ever change. We’ll keep showing up, giving back, and uplifting our people in every way we can.”
Michelada Fest most recently held its inaugural edition in El Paso, Texas, where artists like Netón Vega, Snow Tha Product and Tito Torbellino Jr., among others, performed.

Morgan Wallen is set to return to London later this month for a one-night-only show at Roundhouse on Wednesday, May 28. The show, which follows his 2024 BST Hyde Park headlining show, will mark Wallen’s only concert announced outside of North America thus far in 2025.

Fans can access the exclusive ticket presale by pre-ordering Wallen’s new album I’m the Problem through any format from the Morgan Wallen UK store prior to 10 a.m. BST on Tuesday, May 13.
Wallen’s I’m the Problem is set to release May 16 and will feature collaborations with Post Malone, Tate McRae, Eric Church, ERNEST and HARDY. Wallen co-wrote 22 songs on the album, but also brought in the talents of 49 fellow writers, creating a track list that includes songs such as “Love Somebody,” “Lies Lies Lies” and “Superman,” which is set to release Friday (May 9).
Trending on Billboard
“A lot of the concepts and things we said were a little more difficult with this album,” Wallen said in a statement. “We were trying to dig deep on things and trying to find new angles. And I feel like we did that. I feel like there’s a lot of stuff that I haven’t said in this record, which I’m really, really proud of.”
In North America, Wallen will launch his 2025 I’m The Problem Tour on June 20 at NRG Stadium in Houston. The 20-show tour will find Wallen playing shows in cities including Seattle, Toronto, and Madison, Wisconsin. Joining Wallen on the tour will be a rotating lineup of guest artists, including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Koe Wetzel as direct support, with Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Ella Langley and Anne Wilson as first-of-three on select dates.
In addition to the North American tour dates and his upcoming London show, Wallen will also perform at his own Sand in My Boots Festival, which is slated for May 16-18 in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Eslabon Armado will perform for the first time in Mexico this month, and Pedro Tovar, the group’s leader and main vocalist, couldn’t be happier.
“The last time I went to Mexico, I was six years old,” he tells Billboard Español. “When we started our first tour in 2020, my dream was always to go, but it hadn’t been possible, so I’m very excited.”
Making its debut in the country as part of the Vibras de Noche II Tour, the Californian band behind the smash hit song “Ella Baila Sola” (with Peso Pluma) will arrive at the Banamex Auditorium in Monterrey on May 16 for the first of three confirmed dates. The other two will be four months later, when the band returns to perform on Sept. 12 in Mexico City at the Pepsi Center WTC, and on Sept. 13 at the Telmex Auditorium in Guadalajara.
There’s also the possibility of adding more dates, in cities like Guanajuato and Tijuana. “I look at the stats on streaming platforms, and I realize that most of our fans are from Mexico,” Tovar says. “In the comments, they constantly ask us to perform in all the cities, so we’re going to make it happen for them.”
For its shows in Mexico, Eslabon Armado has prepared a special setlist, along with a lights design and visuals. They will also feature a guest performer, at least in the capital city: Macario Martínez, the young janitor who went viral on TikTok for a video promoting his song “Sueña Lindo.” The emerging Mexican folk singer has already collaborated with Eslabon on “Esa Noche,” included in the group’s latest album, Vibras de Noche II, which debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts in March.
Trending on Billboard
“I saw his story on TikTok, sent him a message on Instagram, and he replied,” Tovar recounts. “We had a video call and chatted for about an hour. I suggested a collaboration, and he immediately said yes, so I sent him the song ‘Esa Noche.’ He did his part, and it turned out to be a really good track.”
With new drums and electric guitars sounds complementing their regional Mexican style, Vibras de Noche II —a sequel to their No. 1 2020 album Vibras de Noche— is the first production the group has released independently under their own label, Eslabon Records, distributed by Interscope. Previously, they were signed to Del Records, which they joined in 2020 and with which they released No. 1 albums including Tu Veneno Mortal (2020) and Desvelado (2023), among others.
The band’s current tour, named after its latest album, began on March 7 and will keep them on the road through 2025.

Loyle Carner shared two new songs on Tuesday (May 6) from his upcoming album hopefully !, due for release on June 20 (Island EMI). “about time” and “lyin” are the third and fourth songs to be released as singles from the record following “all i need” and “in my mind,” which were released in April.
Both tracks were inspired by his role as a father, with “about time” – the LP’s closing track – featuring a snippet of Carner speaking with his young son, and “lyin” being informed by the changes in his life since having children.
The recent Billboard U.K. cover star recently announced a world tour that kicks off in October and runs through the U.K. and Europe, Australia and North America into 2026; his four shows at London’s historic O2 Brixton Academy in London sold out instantly. On June 27, he will headline Glastonbury’s Other Stage alongside Charli XCX and The Prodigy; headliners on the Pyramid Stage are The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo.
Trending on Billboard
Speaking to Billboard U.K., Carner discussed the new indie influences on the record such as Fontaines D.C., Mkgee and Big Thief, as well as forming his own band for the recording sessions. “I loved the anonymity of being in a band,” he shared. “I wanted to be around when the magic is happening and to not just be sent a beat after all the fun parts had already happened. I wanted to move away from the words being all that I can contribute.”
He added, “As a rapper, the insecurity is that I don’t have any musical talent or whatever, so I’m like, ‘F–k, I better fill every gap so people know that I was there, too.’ But now I don’t mind people hearing a song and I’m barely on it, because I’m so across from everything else [in the creative process].”
Carner’s new album, hopefully !, will be his fourth and his first since 2022. Carner’s debut Yesterday’s Gone (2017) was nominated for the Mercury Prize; Not Waving But Drowning (2019) landed at No. 3 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart; hugo (2022) landed a second Mercury Prize nomination and saw the Londoner headline the 35,000-capacity All Points East Festival in the capital.

Jay-Z has filed an unusual new allegation in his legal war with attorney Tony Buzbee, accusing the lawyer of ordering employees at his law firm to edit Wikipedia pages in an effort to damage the rapper’s reputation.
The new claim is the latest salvo in a bitter fight that started when Buzbee filed a shocking lawsuit accusing Jay-Z of raping an unnamed girl decades ago. Jay-Z vehemently denied the allegation, which has since been voluntarily dropped, and has blasted Buzbee for allegedly trying to extort him.
In an updated version of an earlier case against Buzbee and his client filed Monday (May 5), Jay-Z is adding an eyebrow-raising new claim: That the lawyer made sneaky edits to Wikipedia as part of his alleged plot to harm the rapper.
“In violation of Wikipedia’s rules, Buzbee directed his employees to edit Wikipedia pages to enhance Buzbee’s image and damage Mr. Carter’s and Roc Nation’s reputations,” Jay-Z’s attorneys write in the amended complaint. “Users with an IP address directly linked to the Buzbee Firm made over 100 positive edits to Buzbee’s Wikipedia page.”
The lawsuit does not elaborate on what exact edits were allegedly made to Wikipedia. Reps for Jay-Z did not immediately return a request for comment.
In a statement to Billboard on Tuesday, Buzbee strongly denied the new allegation and the rest of Jay-Z’s claims: “Most of the pleading is nonsensical. All of it is meritless.”
The case against Jay-Z, filed in December, claimed that he and Sean “Diddy” Combs drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl at an after-party following the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Jay-Z forcefully denied the allegations, calling them a “blackmail attempt.” After just two months of heated litigation, Doe dropped her case without a settlement payment.
Weeks after the case was dropped, Jay-Z sued both Doe and Buzbee, accusing her of defamation and accusing both of malicious prosecution and other wrongdoing. The lawsuit called it an “evil conspiracy” against the rapper: “The extortion and abuse of Mr. Carter by Doe and her lawyers must stop.”
Buzbee and his client have denied the lawsuit’s allegations and moved to dismiss the case — arguing, among other things, that she cannot be sued for defamation over allegations made as part of a lawsuit.
Beyond the Wikipedia claims, Monday’s new complaint makes several other notable changes to the earlier lawsuit.
The new version of the case now also targets Antigone Curis, a New York attorney who served as co-counsel in the original rape lawsuit against Jay-Z. Naming Curis as a co-defendant, Jay-Z alleges that Buzbee “used Curis” because he himself was not admitted to practice law in Manhattan federal court — an issue that has since come to light in several of Buzbee’s cases against Combs in New York.
“It is clear that Curis joined the conspiracy to extort Mr. Carter, which was hatched in Alabama, and quickly became an integral part of the scheme by using her admission to the [Southern District of New York], weaponizing the civil justice system,” Jay-Z’s attorneys write in the new case.
The lawsuit also includes new claims about the alleged harm caused to Jay-Z by the rape accusation. It says Roc Nation lost contracts in the sports and entertainment space that would have generated at least $20 million; that Jay was personally denied a $55 million personal credit line; and that a company he’s associated with was denied a $115 million loan.
“At trial, plaintiff will present evidence demonstrating how the extortionate scheme, and the false complaint filed in New York, resulted in the loss of business opportunities to Mr. Carter [and] have served to preclude him from new business opportunities,” his attorneys write, before later adding: “Buzbee, Doe, and their co-conspirators must answer for all of this.”
