At the Met Gala 2025, celebrities couldn’t resist snapping the perfect selfie or capturing their experience despite the infamous ‘No-Phone’ rule. The gala, a pinnacle of fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, was buzzing more than just with iconic outfits. This year, it was abuzz with whispers and videos shared from inside the glamorous venue.
Breaking the Rules in Style
As the fashion elite descended upon the Met Gala’s steps, stars like Megan Thee Stallion, Sydney Sweeney, and Kim Kardashian found themselves in the spotlight for more than just their couture gowns. Ignoring the night’s strict ‘No-Phone’ policy, several celebs documented their evening through sneaky clicks and candid videos. The Savage rapper gave her fans an unfiltered glimpse into the gala, cheekily noting, “We’re not supposed to have our phones, but we’re doing it anyway.” According to Pinkvilla, Megan’s video was all about the gala cuisine, adding another layer to the narrative.
Beyond the Fashion
For those tuned into the gala’s glamour, it was more than just fashion statements. The night offered a first look at Rihanna’s blooming baby bump as she confirmed her third pregnancy with ASAP Rocky. Adding to the excitement, the musical duo already parents to sons RZA and Riot, shared their joy with the world.
A Night of Captured Moments
The gala’s official photographer joined in, snapping Halle Bailey mid-selfie with Sydney Sweeney and Lisa. These captured moments blurred the lines of rules and rebellion, adding a new dimension to the event’s tradition. Such instances have become almost expected, as celebrities have made similar breaches in previous years, raising questions about the rule’s actual enforcement.
Talk of the Town
As these moments played out, the Met Gala remained at the forefront of online conversations. Anticipation was already high after Gigi Hadid’s revelation of her boyfriend Bradley Cooper’s supportive role in her preparations, just days after their steamy birthday kiss. In many ways, these snippets and whispered stories have become as much a part of the gala as its themes and fashion.
In the end, the breaking of the No-Phone rule only adds another layer to the mystique and allure of the Met Gala, enhancing its status as not just a fashion event, but a cultural moment that continues to captivate the world.
