The party doesn’t stop with Page Six.

Immediately following the second-annual “Virtual Reali-Tea” Awards on Tuesday night, the biggest stars in reality television kept the fun going at the exclusive afterparty on the Edison Ballroom rooftop until the wee hours of the morning.

Guests — including Hilaria Baldwin, Scheana Shay, Meredith Marks, the entire “Real Housewives of Rhode Island” cast and more — joined “VRT” hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy to let loose with flowing drinks, delicious snacks and killer tunes by “Summer House” star Kyle Cooke.

An espresso martini bar by Kahlúa ensured partygoers got a caffeine boost following a long red carpet and live award show.

And for those who didn’t want an alcoholic beverage, Mingle Mocktails offered delicious Cranberry Cosmos and Pineapple Palomas all night long.

But of all the guests, the “Summer House” cast was unsurprisingly the most enthusiastic on the dance floor.

As Cooke deejayed the two-hour affair, exes Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke (who have clearly buried the hatchet) recreated Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey’s iconic “Dirty Dancing” lift in front of the gob-smacked crowd.

Hubbard also gave “Real Housewives of Potomac” alum Candiace Dillard Bassett a piggyback ride through a sea of dancing reality stars.

Guests cheered as the ladies made their way across the dance floor, laughing the entire time.

If attendees found themselves looking a bit worse for wear at the end of the night, they could get their makeup touched up at CoverGirl‘s chic beauty bar.

“Love Island USA” alum Kaylor Martin was one of the many celebs who stopped by to freshen up her look.

Once their glam was in order, the reality stars, including PDA-heavy Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa, flocked to Cadillac’s LED wall display and Kahlúa’s photo booth to commemorate the night in the best way they know how — selfies.

Cooke shared the love with fellow DJ Meredith Marks, who was named Style Icon of the Year earlier in the night, and invited her to join him on stage for a few songs as the crowd went wild.

Marks’ husband, Seth, was her No. 1 fan, recording the entire performance on his phone from the front row.

Later in the evening, Cooke also called for Musician of the Year winner Luann de Lesseps — who performed her hit song “Chic C’est La Vie” and announced a brand-new single during the ceremony to accompany him in the DJ booth.

“Southern Charm” star Austen Kroll couldn’t let the ladies have all the fun and jumped on stage to sing Blink 182’s “I Miss You” alongside Cooke.

And if there wasn’t enough tea spilled during the show, everyone’s favorite reality TV muses stopped by Sirius XM’s Page Six Radio confessional booth to share their unfiltered thoughts in real time.

Fans can watch the full 2026 VRT Awards on Philo, its exclusive streaming home, on Oct. 9.
