Burna Boy’s Met Gala Afterparty
New York, NY
Executive Producer, Creative Production, Art Direction
In celebration of the Met Gala, The Standard, hosted its iconic post-Met Gala celebration at BOOM, in an exclusive collaboration with Burna Boy. Known for throwing one of the most anticipated Met Gala afterparties, BOOM became the setting for a vibrant homage to the African diaspora, drawing from the energy of Lagos nightlife while reflecting the distinctive spirit of the venue.
Upon entering, guests were transported through lush, tropical florals reminiscent of those found across Africa, a custom DJ booth facade hand-painted by a Nigerian-born, New York-based artist, and celebratory details like fans, whistles, and other lively nods to the spirit of Lagos nightlife.
Burna Boy curated the music for the evening which included performances from: Black Coffee, Central Cee, Shaboozey, Busta Rhymes and more.
