The Met Ball fun wasn't over when the gala ended—it was only just beginning!

Celebs got a chance to let their hair down and kick off their heels (literally, in the case of barefoot babes Lena Dunham and Kristen Stewart) at the afterparties!

The Carlyle Hotel brought a classy crowd to the Upper East Side Monday night, with stars like Zoe Saldana, Michael Kors and Lily Allen grabbing drinks in the esteemed establishment, sources tell E! News exclusively. Charlize Theron and Sean Penn were also spotted briefly in the hotel's famed Bemelmans Bar.

Others went downtown for their post-gala fêting, with some stars hitting up the Boom Boom Room at The Standard High Line and more celebs making their way to Up & Down club for Rihanna's official after party.

The "Pour It Up" singer, whose slinky gold dress left little to the imagination, "selected people that were given pink wristbands to join her in the private section," a source tells E! News exclusively.

Among those in attendance? Selena Gomez, Bradley Cooper, Suki Waterhouse, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Seth Meyers, Kristen Wiig, Dianna Agron, Gabrielle Union, Lupita Nyong'o, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Janelle Monae, Naomi Campbell, Nicole Richie, Andy Cohen, Kate Bosworth, Dakota Johnson, Anne Hathaway, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kendall Jenner, Jessica Alba, Cash Warren, Lily Allen, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, Reese Witherspoon, Zooey Deschanel, Rashida Jones, Paul Rudd and Ronan Farrow.
