During Fashion Week, the after-parties are as much of an event as the show itself. When else can you make multiple outfit changes between multiple parties? For the first night of New York Fashion Week spring 2019, celebrities and models chose to go big with sequins — just look at Nicki Minaj and Romee Strijd. Cardi B, at the Jeremy Scott after-party, changed into her second leopard ensemble of the day. She looked a little like the models in Scott’s last show for Moschino, with Jackie Onassis–inspired hair. Who wore the best look? Scroll to see everyone below.
