The Met Gala is one of the biggest nights of the year, but, just like any other A-lister evening, the excitement doesn't end once the event is over. In fact, it's just the beginning!

After stars left the Met Gala 2016 on Monday night, they headed to several major parties during which E! News got the exclusive photos and details.

One of the biggest after-parties was hosted by Balmain at the Gilded Lily in New York City and saw celebs like Beyoncé, Solange Knowles, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Kylie Jenner.

Though Jay Z was nowhere in sight, a source tells us, "Beyoncé came with her body guard and stylist, and she was mingling with Kanye and Kim. Solange was there also there [with her husband, Alan Ferguson]."

The insider also noted that, "Kanye and Kim were staying close and acting really sweet towards each other. They were holding each others' hands. Kylie was talking to everyone and mainly hanging with Kim and Kanye. Everyone was dancing and having fun."

Another big after-party was held at the Up & Down nightclub,hosted by Naomi Campbell and The Weeknd. Celebs like Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Bella Hadid and more were spotted having a great time at the club.

Another source tells us Kate Hudson was busy being fun and "flirtatious" with Diplo, while Madonna laughed and danced around at a booth alongside the DJ, French Montana and The Weeknd, who continued to pack on PDA with his boo Bella, holding his arm over her shoulder most of the night.

Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk proved they're doing better than ever, as the insider explains the two spent a good amount of time "holding hands." They were also spotted chatting with Leonardo DiCaprio a little bit.

The Oscar-winning actor was apparently having a boys night "drinking and listening to music" as the insider tells us he spent most of the evening hanging with his "guy friends and not any women."

A third big party was held at The Standard Hotel's Boom Boom Room and hosted by Apple. Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Kristen Stewart and more attended this party. Even Katy and Orlando stopped by for a bit, too!

Another insider tells us Lady Gaga put on a surprise performance with Mark Ronson for the event, while Katy and Orlando were busy putting on the PDA. "Orlando and Katy had a private area with friends," the insider tells us. "They seemed really happy by each others' side all night, and if they weren't next to each other, he seemed to go over and check on her quite a bit."

T.Swift was also in attendance and too busy getting down on the dance floor to worry about Katy Perry being at the same event.

"Taylor Swift and Lupita Nyong'o took over the dance floor," the on-looker tells us. "They were dancing with each other for about five or six songs. It was quite a scene and people kind of opened up the dance floor and let them have more room.  [They] seemed like the best of friends, and Karlie Kloss joined them at one point."
