Loewe had a triumphant night at the Met Gala, not only as a sponsor but also as the designer behind some of the most stunning red carpet looks. From Anna Wintour’s sophisticated ensemble to Taylor Russell’s captivating design, Loewe showcased its fashion prowess.
But the brand’s impact extended beyond the Met Gala. Down in Nolita, Loewe co-hosted an exclusive after-party with Luca Guadagnino, celebrating the Italian filmmaker’s latest collaboration with Zendaya in Challengers. The party exuded Guadagnino’s signature style, featuring appearances from all three Challengers stars.
Zendaya, fresh from co-hosting the Met Gala, arrived in a third outfit change, a custom columnar slate-grey gown by Loewe, exuding elegance and sophistication. Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor joined her, but the dance floor stole the spotlight.
Handsome waitstaff circulated with Loewe-branded burgers and French fries, while lollipops adorned banquettes like whimsical floral arrangements, a subtle nod to The Garden of Time. Jonathan Anderson, having shed his Loewe suit for a casual tee, greeted guests warmly and ensured everyone felt welcome.
The music matched the energy of the Challengers soundtrack, and the dance floor became a hub of movement and joy. Phoebe Dynevor, who had earlier graced the Met Gala in Victoria Beckham’s debut dress, now moved effortlessly in a black mini, embracing the rhythm. Jonathan Bailey nearby showed off his dance moves, adding to the infectious atmosphere.
On a night filled with countless after-parties, Loewe’s stood out as the destination. The brand had issued a challenge and delivered, creating an unforgettable night that left a lasting impression on the Met Gala scene.
