The Alexander McQueen exhibit officially ended during the wee hours of this morning, with many folks lingering well past the museum’s special midnight closing time. The Met reported today that the show attracted a total of 661,509 visitors during its three-month run, making it the eighth most-visited exhibit in the museum’s history (it broke the record for the most-visited fashion exhibit last weekend). As a fitting tribute, many last-minute attendees wore McQueen items or their own creations, even braving Saturday’s rain showers in heels and leather. We were there from 10 p.m. to midnight on Saturday and Sunday to capture the revelry in all its colorful glory.
