The MET Gala is a charity ball that hosts some of the biggest global celebrities. These stars arrive dressed to the nines in quirky and unique costumes, surrounded by the paparazzi clicking thousands of photos. Though these dazzling red carpet photos are posted and published everywhere, there are no personal photos of the celebrities on the red carpet to be found. This is because the MET has a rule that says no phones and no selfies.
But despite this prohibition, celebrities, throughout the years, have found a way to capture their fun behind the scenes together in group bathroom selfies. This has become a tradition now and as anticipated as the event itself. Most of these selfies are grainy and blurry, but the world’s most famous celebrities sneaking in a phone to fashion’s most popular event to capture a group photo has made this tradition iconic. So, here are the most iconic MET gala bathroom selfies:
