After midnight, the post-Met Gala revelry made its way downtown to SoHo for Ray-Ban’s soirée; one of the night’s many after-hours affairs. Blackpink’s Jennie made an appearance at the Ray-Ban House—the brand new—as in, you could still smell the paint—one-of-a-kind townhouse setting that blends retail, a café, and a cocktail bar.

For the fete, the global ambassador slipped out of her blue sequin Chanel number into a breezy tank top and skirt accessorized with a fur-like stole.

Inside the venue, guests filtered into the captivating space made up of curved metals, mirrored ceilings, deep red floors, and meticulous rows of sunglasses neatly placed on shelves that were drenched in seductive red lights—echoing Ray-Ban’s signature red aesthetic. The lobby pulsated with invigorating music provided by artist Oscar and the Wolf, and was filled with a stylish crowd made up of friends of the brand.

At the sleek bar, partygoers debriefed about the evening’s looks over Aperol spritzes and espresso martinis, while servers roamed around handing out tuna tartare and vegan sandwiches from the Pasquale Cozzolino-helmed menu. At 1:45 a.m., Jennie jumped behind the DJ booth to join spin masters Daniela Lalita and Angelica Ballesteros, as the three danced along to the music while a flurry of guests swarmed around them with loud cheers.

The 2026 Met Gala marked Jennie’s fourth consecutive year walking up the storied steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. But it marked the first time ever that all the members of Blackpink (including Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo) hit the event together. By the time Jennie decided to call it a night and the house lights were turned on, the Ray-Ban House had officially been christened—and guests were off to the next stop of the night.
