Megan Thee Stallion Breaks Met Gala Rules, Gives Fans a Rare Peek Behind the Velvet Rope

Megan Thee Stallion brought the real to the Met Gala. On Monday, May 5, the rapper lit up social media after sharing an unfiltered Instagram reel straight from inside the exclusive 2025 Met Gala—violating one of the event’s biggest rules: no phones allowed.

Despite the strict ban on personal photography, Megan couldn’t resist giving her “hotties” a VIP look at fashion’s most secretive night. Dressed in a custom silver Michael Kors Collection gown paired with a dramatic white fur coat, the star turned heads on the red carpet alongside Kors himself. Her look was completed with shimmering earrings, silver nails, and a sleek ponytail—flawlessly aligned with the evening’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

But it was what happened inside the Metropolitan Museum that had everyone talking. Megan cheekily titled her video “Hottie Cam in thee MET GALA,” joking in the caption: “I snuck the phone inside: Cheese!” Her reel included clips of herself vibing with stars like Cynthia Erivo, Serena Williams, Angela Bassett, and Angel Reese, as well as glimpses of the ultra-exclusive dinner menu.

“Funny looking,” Megan quipped about the vegan lox, but praised the overall meal. Angel Reese added her own commentary, calling the chicken curry pastries “a little dry,” while sitting beside Megan and Doechii.

From fashion to food to fun moments with fellow celebs, Megan’s rogue footage gave fans a side of the Met Gala rarely seen—and they loved it. Her video quickly went viral, with comments flooding in applauding her for breaking the rules and showing the authentic energy behind the glitz and glamour.
