Huma Abedin looked stunning in a fringed red dress as she was spotted leaving a star-studded Pre-Met Gala Dinner in New York - while her estranged husband Anthony Weiner was seen taking the subway in a yellow fleece.

Abedin was invited to the exclusive event hosted by Vogue editor Anna Wintour where she mingled with Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Wendi Deng and Caroline Kennedy.

Abedin’s invitation proves that Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump has not diminished her own social standing. Nor, apparently, has her estranged husband's disgrace.

Being Clinton’s close aide for decades means that the friendships she has forged appear to have survived the shock defeat in November.

Laying low: Meanwhile Anthony Weiner was spotted at the 14th Street subway station dressed casually in a yellow fleece, baseball cap, shorts and sneakers - and smirked as he was recognized

Meanwhile Weiner, 52, is living a low-key life and was seen at Union Square station on a trip with their son Jordan, five.

The disgraced former Congressman was dressed casually in the yellow fleece jacket, baseball cap, shorts and sneakers - and smirked as he was recognized. He was still wearing a leg brace on his right leg as he recovers from an injury.

As he waited Weiner’s male friend stopped a woman as she walked past and grinned as they shared a joke.

The two appeared to know each other and the friend smiled broadly as they chatted.

The contrasting pictures emerged as Abedin, 40, is said to be looking for $2 million for her tell-all memoir.

Abedin reportedly contacted top literary agents for the autobiography which would detail Clinton’s doomed bid for the Presidency and her marriage to serial texter Weiner.

Weiner first sexting scandal was exposed in 2011 and though Abedin gave him another chance he was caught doing the same thing two years later.

Then last September DailyMail.com revealed Weiner had been in sexting relationship with a 15-year-old high school girl.

This led to the FBI re-opening its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server weeks before the Presidential election as some of Abedin’s State Department emails were on the laptop that Weiner used.

Clinton would later say that she believed this cost her the election to Trump.

Despite all of this according to a new book, ‘Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Election Campaign’, Weiner was touted as being the person who could play Trump in Clinton’s debate preparation.

The appointment was vetoed by her staff who thought that it was inappropriate.

Before his sex scandals Weiner had been a rising star in the Democratic party and represented New York’s 8th Congressional District.

In 2010 he became a hero among the left for a tirade on the House floor about a health care bill for 9/11 responders.

But the following May he posted a picture of his crotch on Twitter, sparking the beginning of the end of his political career.

Weiner initially claimed he had been hacked but then held a tearful press conference saying he had engaged in ‘inappropriate communication’ with women.

He resigned from Congress but made an improbable bid to be Mayor of New York in 2013 which ended when fresh images of him sexting emerged.

Abedin filed for separation from Weiner in August last year but the two have not yet divorced.

Aside from appearing in the 2016 documentary ‘Weiner’, about his run for the Mayor of New York, she has not commented publicly on her husband’s infidelity.
