At the 2025 Met Gala on Monday, rapper Megan Thee Stallion took the ultimate risk and snuck her phone into the high-profile event.

The Met Gala famously has a strict no-phone policy, with Vogue explaining the goal to keep the event “largely under wraps.”

However, Megan Thee Stallion disregarded the rule and posted a video of her, rap queen Doechii, and WNBA star Angel Reese feasting on fancy appetizers, including truffle lobster rolls, caviar and vegan lox.

She laughed, “We’re not supposed to have our phones, but we’re doing it.”

While there is no information regarding any potential punishment or consequences for using phones at the gala, Megan Thee Stallion was not the only celebrity who ignored the rule.

Sydney Sweeney, Halle Bailey and LISA all posed for a selfie together. Angela Bassett and Tara Shahidi also shared a photo of the evening, as well as Questlove, Kim Kardashian and Jaden Smith. Stella McCartney also grabbed a selfie of herself accompanied by Chappel Roan, Madonna, Charli XCX and Lorde.

Additionally, Laura Harrier shared a bathroom selfie of her, Ego Nwodim, Andrew Scott, Sarah Snook, LaKeith Stanfield, Zac Posen and many more.

Nwodim also posted a photo of herself and Teyana Taylor, her co-host for the Met Gala’s livestream.

Shakira and Tyla shared a photo as well, along with Alex Consani and Nicki Minaj, Coco Jones and Ayra Starr, Starr and Lauryn Hill, and Chance the Rapper with Damson Idris and Gustav Magnar Witzøe.

A$AP Rocky, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton and Pharrell Williams all served as co-hosts at the event, with this year’s theme being “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” A celebration of the ways in which Black individuals have expressed identity through style over the years, the theme was specifically intended to be seen through the lens of dandyism, with a particular focus on menswear.

Megan was recently granted a restraining order against rapper Tory Lanez, who is currently serving a prison sentence for shooting her in the foot.
