Met Gala 2025 had A-listers donning their interpretations of the night’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style. Hunter Schafer’s attire that evening captivated audiences, even more so in her striking corset dress at the afterparty.
Schafer’s fans have had a lot to say about her afterparty look, from calling her “beautiful” to pointing out noticeable changes in her appearance.
Hunter Schafer Turns Heads with Bold Met Gala Afterparty Ensemble
Hunter Schafer's radiant and busty look at the Met Gala afterparty left fans in awe on May 5.
She rocked an ivory Dilara Fındıkoğlu corset dress with a deconstructed design that flattered her shape. Her lingerie-inspired fashion was completed with a white lace bow in her hair, a white bag, and a pair of peep-toe Louboutin heels.
Earlier that night, Schafer wore a more layered look with her black-and-white ensemble. Her oversized Prada suit featured a white double-breasted coat over a turtleneck, paired with loose cigarette pants.
Like many celebrities who attended the Met Gala, Schafer wore a tuxedo-inspired outfit in line with the event’s dress code, Tailoring For You, before opting to strip down to a corset for the afterparty.
Hosted by A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, and Lewis Hamilton, the 2025 Met Gala theme celebrated menswear shaped by Black culture while reflecting on “the importance of clothing in style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora.”
Fans’ Reaction to Hunter Schafer’s Radiant and Daring Met Gala Afterparty Look
Schafer’s complete Prada outfit at the Met Gala on Monday was praised by her fans, with commenters on the Instagram post from the event’s official fan page calling her "ethereal" and "always so beautiful."
One user, however, had a lukewarm reaction to her interpretation of Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, stating that they “expected more” given Schafer’s reputation for over-the-top fashion flair.
Unsurprisingly, fans were also in awe of the Euphoria star’s afterparty ensemble. On X (formerly Twitter), users responded to a post that highlighted the upper part of Schafer’s look.
“How can one's face card increase more and more each time?” one fan wrote.
“Holy sh*t, she looks like a painting,” another user said in reaction to Schafer's look.
One X user commented, “Okay, Zelda,” while another said, “Aight, now I'm convinced, she can be Zelda.” Both were referencing the video game character Zelda from The Legend of Zelda series and noted the resemblance.
While some appreciated Schafer’s Met Gala photos, others responded negatively.
One mentioned the actress’s gender identity, stating, “Ain’t this a man???”
“This man really wore this,” another user wrote.
Several defended Schafer against the backlash, with one replying, “Does it matter?” and another saying, “The mental gymnastics to convince yourself this person is a man is amazing, you could win the Olympics.”
On Reddit, fans also discussed her appearance, rather than just her fashion. One Redditor asked, “Is it just me or does her face look totally different suddenly?” to which someone responded, “Nose job! The cute little hook of her nose is GONE.”
A fan who clearly admires Schafer expressed sadness about the perceived change: “I loved her original nose. It was different and unique! It made her really pretty in her own way, now it’s basic.”
