Megan Thee Stallion Defies Met Gala Rules With Secret Phone Footage

The rapper gave fans an exclusive look at the star-studded event despite strict no-phone policy

May 6, 2025 - Megan Thee Stallion proved she plays by her own rules at last night's Met Gala when she secretly filmed inside the exclusive event and posted the footage to her Instagram. The annual fashion extravaganza, known for its strict no-phone policy, couldn't stop the Houston hottie from giving fans a peek behind the velvet rope.

In the that's already gone viral with over 5 million views, the Grammy-winning rapper can be heard whispering "I snuck my phone in y'all" before panning across the glittering reception hall filled with A-list celebrities. The starry clips show brief glimpses of the evening's extravagant decor and some famous faces enjoying the party.

Met Gala's Strict Phone Policy Bends for Meg

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala has long enforced one of the most rigid no-phone policies in entertainment. Guests are required to check their devices upon entry, with only approved photographers allowed to capture the event. This year's "Celestial Bodies: Fashion and the Cosmos" theme apparently inspired Megan to shoot for the stars with her covert operation.

"Only Megan would dare to break the Met's phone rules and make it look this good," commented one fan on Twitter, where #HotGirlsBreakRules quickly became a trending topic.

Social Media Goes Wild for the Sneaky Footage

The 15-second video has sparked both admiration for Megan's rebellious move and intense speculation about which celebrities might have been caught in the background. Fashion bloggers are analyzing every frame for clues about unreported attendees and outfit details.

This isn't the first time a celebrity has tried to circumvent the Met's phone ban. In 2022, Kim Kardashian faced backlash when she appeared to use a disposable camera inside the event. However, Megan's full video post marks the most successful breach of the policy to date.

As of publication time, representatives for the Met Gala have not commented on whether Megan will face any consequences for her rule-breaking. Meanwhile, fans are hoping this sets a precedent for more behind-the-scenes access to fashion's most exclusive night.
