After Monday night’s Met Gala, many celebrities attended over-the-top after-parties, but some even A-list stars struggled to gain entry. One such star was Sam Smith, who was turned away from a Macallan bash at the Mark Hotel despite their hit-making status and staying at the hotel. Despite being told they weren’t on the list and being rejected three times, Smith remained polite and cool, showing no signs of a diva fit. Their rejection is not the first time a celebrity has been denied entry to a party, as in the past, Kylie Jenner and Elon Musk have also faced similar situations.
Despite being turned away from the Macallan bash, Sam Smith continued to enjoy their night by attending Dua Lipa’s bash at Rob Toma’s Hearsay in the Meatpacking District and other Met Gala celebrations. They were reportedly seen keeping the dance floor alive with their presence. Other notable attendees at various parties included Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez with a substantial number of bodyguards, Kenan Thompson mingling with multiple women, exes Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny appearing cozy at an event, and Cardi B and Offset seen together, sparking relationship rumors.
At Dua Lipa’s bash, director Baz Luhrmann was seen dancing with Lizzo and Sza, with the party going on until 5 a.m. Usher, Lil Nas X, and Alton Mason also started a dance circle with Sam Smith in attendance. Another popular party was hosted by FKA Twigs at the Standard, bringing guests like Camila Cabello, Prabal Gurung, and Tessa Thompson. In a Soho House party for Porsche, attendees dined on lobster and shrimp, while celebrities like Barry Keoghan, Raye, and Victoria Pedretti were present.
Despite being turned away from the Macallan bash, Sam Smith remained poised and enjoyed the rest of their night at various other parties. Their rejection was not a unique experience, as other celebrities have also been denied entry to exclusive events in the past. The Met Gala after-parties saw a mix of famous faces and exes mingling, such as Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, Cardi B and Offset, and Kenan Thompson. Despite the drama surrounding entry denials, celebrities were spotted having a great time and keeping the party atmosphere alive throughout the night.
