Whether you were living for the drama or watching Game of Thrones, we can all appreciate a good celebrity after-party.
Where did the hottest stars of the night head when the show was over? There were a few hot spots in Los Angeles, including the Republic Records and Cadillac post-party at TAO.
With boyfriend Austin Butler by her side, Vanessa Hudgens was the first to arrive in her stunning sheer, red ensemble. New friends Millie Bobby Brown and Hailee Steinfeld arrived together and took some adorable photos in front of a green screen. Maybe we can expect to see the young Stranger Things star adopted into Swift's squad one of these days?
Not too far from that event was Calvin Harris and Emil Nava's party with TIDAL x Sprint at the Highlight Room in Hollywood. Host Katy Perry opted to hang out with Harris and a few other famous friends including Nina Dobrev, Khalid and The Chainsmokers.
