The Met Gala co-chair was definitely one of the best dressed at the Gala, and she kept the gold embellished theme going for her Xhosa afterparty, wearing a black leather bodysuit over tights with a gold body painted on it. She matched this with gold earrings and sunglasses and added a silver sequin blazer on top, embroidered with regal gold Baroque stitching.
