As one of the most exclusive events of the year, the Met Gala is known for having some pretty strict rules, from "no smoking" to "no sitting next to your spouse." One of the most infamous rules is the reported ban on selfies and cellphones.
Of course, having rules in place doesn't mean all the attendees will follow them. Here are 19 times celebs broke the strict Met Gala rules:
1.In 2023, Doja Cat was caught vaping in the background of Emma Chamberlain's red carpet interview with Jennie Kim.
