Megan Thee Stallion breaks major Met Gala rule: 'We're doing it...'

Megan Thee Stallion snuck her phone into the Met Gala

Megan Thee Stallion snuck her phone into the Met Gala.

The 30-year-old rapper - whose real name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete - attended the annual event on Monday (05.05.25) in

a custom-made silver sequin gown with a white fur coat but defied the event's rules about cell phones by taking a video for social media.

Speaking in the video - which was posted to TikTok - she said: "We're not supposed to have our phones, but we're doing it [anyway].

"I snuck my phone in!"

'Black-ish' actress Tracee Ellis Ross popped up in the background, where she explained: "We're not supposed to have our phones. But, we're doing it!"

In the clip, the 'Roc Steady' hitmaker was also joined by Doechii and Angel Reese and the trio set about giving their opinions about the hors d'oeuvres that were on offer at the glamorous do.

At first, Megan said: "Cornbread and caviar, it was good!"

However, when it came to the vegan smoked salmon, Megan wasn't so keen and simply noted it it was "funny looking".

But 'Anxiety' singer Doechii was not keen on the truffle cheese whilst Chicago Sky player Angel claimed that the chicken curry pastries were "a little dry".

The whole event was put together by legendary Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who last year noted that her phone ban had been put in place because she wanted the guests to mingle and have "wonderful conversations" without feeling the need to constantly take pictures.

Speaking on the 'Today' show, she said: "It's often wonderful to hear, after dinner, people say, 'Oh we had the most wonderful conversations.'

"So that's the idea, that life can exist without a picture on your cell phone."

Anna is also fairly strict on the kind of food that is served at the Met Gala, and has previously banned chives, onions and garlic from all meals that are served at the event.

She explained: "Well, those are three things I’m not particularly fond of."
