More Celebs Broke The "No Phone" Rule At The Met Gala, And It Resulted In The Newest Annual Bathroom Group Selfies
To contain the mystery of what happens inside the event, Met Gala attendees are given some pretty strict rules to abide by. While I understand wanting to preserve the privacy and exclusivity, today we're highlighting all of the lovely celebrity delinquents who didn't listen!
Outside of "no smoking," which had been previously broken by countless celebs including Rita Ora, Dakota Johnson, and Rami Malek...
...one of the most important regulations they historically try to enforce is prohibiting any pictures/videos being taken by phone or shared on social media.
But let's be real, expecting a person attending a major event with their friends, peers, and idols, to not document the moment isn't realistic, in my opinion.
So, I'm celebrating the most recent rule breakers who had an epic bathroom photoshoot. It's become an unspoken annual tradition for celebs to sneak off into the restrooms at the Met Gala to take group photos. And at the risk of not being invited back, I'd say they've all been worth it — like Billie Eilish posting this "forbidden" selfie in 2023:
Or who could forget this mega-selfie Kylie Jenner took back in 2017:
Actor Laura Harrier posted this incredible photo to her Instagram Story on Tuesday. The Spider-Man: Homecoming star was plastered in the middle next to Zac Posen, who designed her look for the night. Also spotted in the pic: Quinta Brunson, Ego Nwodim, Andrew Scott, LaKeith Stanfield, Sarah Snook, Keith Powers, Brian Tyree Henry, Monica Barbaro, Jeremy Pope, and Justice Smith.
Oh, but this wasn't the only angle they blessed us with. We also got this fun one which included a few extra stars like Minnesota Vikings's wide receiver Justin Jefferson and fashion designer Dao-Yi Chow, who styled Justin in his co-founded brand Public School.
But that's not all! The celebs DID NOT skip out on amazing behind-the-scenes content! 2025 Met Gala co-chair and F1 champion, Lewis Hamilton, had his phone out for this wild video. The room was literally packed with celebs smiling and laughing, and it truly felt like such a feel-good moment.

Along with Lewis, you'll also find Tracee Ellis Ross, Evan Ross, Cynthia Erivo, LaKeith Stanfield, Caleb McLaughlin, Ayo Edebiri, Questlove, Colman Domingo and his husband Raul Domingo, Quinta Brunson, Tramell Tillman, Alton Mason, Miles Chamley-Watson, Kara Young, and Brian Tyree Henry who made everyone chant, "BLACK SHIT," before taking a picture. LMAO, I love us!
*Also, please excuse any celebs I might've missed. Because it's a video, I couldn't fully see everyone in the bathroom.
Then, as they all dispersed, you can see Sarah Snook, James Corden, Sabrina Carpenter, Central Cee, Andra Day, Andrew Scott, Jeremy Pope, Kelvin Harrison Jr., and more standing in the hallway, while Cynthia Erivo belts out the run from the hit Wicked single "Defying Gravity."
I love seeing celebs let loose, so I truly hope this tradition never dies!

Sabrina Carpenter teases new song in 'micro' shorts, fans are in awe
Sabrina Carpenter teases new song in 'micro' shorts, fans are in awe Show Caption Hide Caption Met Gala: Sabrina Carpenter wears bodysuit Sabrina Carpenter is giving "espresso" as she wears a stunning pinstripe bodysuit to the Met Gala red carpet. Some are saying the shorter the shorts, the better. "Micro" shorts are officially making a comeback this summer after going away for a year or two, and it is all thanks to Sabrina Carpenter. The "Espresso" singer's new look, which consists of a white button-up, baby blue heels and denim cutoffs, continues to turn heads on social media. The discussion, mostly admiration, surrounding the outfit began June 2, when Carpenter posted a short clip of herself hitchhiking on the side of a highway. Carpenter later revealed that the video was tied to the release of her new single "Manchild." "this one's about you!!" Carpenter wrote in a separate social media post. "'Manchild' is out this Thursday 6/5 (at) 8pm EST. special 7 (inch) vinyl available now." Here's what people are saying about Carpenter's look, including a look back at the "micro" short trend. 'Micro' shorts are back, thanks to Sabrina Carpenter While Carpenter did not start the trend, she certainly revived it with her most recent social media post (And her fans are eating it up). Free People, on the other hand, did not see the same success when they promoted their own version of the "micro" denim shorts on social media in March 2024, about five months before Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet" album was released. Customers of the high-end retailer weighed in on the length of the shorts in the social media post's comments, joking about how the length of the shorts would not work for the average adult woman. "Everybody relax with these rude, aggressive comments. I bought them for my hamster and she loves them!' one user wrote. Those who chimed in bonded over their mutual dislike of the shorts. The response to Carpenter's outfit was completely different, with brands, fans and even haters showering her with compliments. "My brake pads would've popped off by how fast i would have stopped my car," one user wrote in the comments of her recent social media post. Sabrina Carpenter sparks frenzy with cheeky outfit, new music Carpenter, who has a penchant for all things glitter and lace, has been rocking babydoll negligees, blazer dresses without pants, corsets with garters, nightgowns, ballgowns, mini-skirts and of course hotpants even before the release of her sixth studio album "Short n' Sweet." "Femininity is something that I've always embraced," Carpenter told TIME in an October 2024 interview. "And if right now that means corsets and garter belts and fuzzy robes or whatever the (expletive), then that's what that means." The Grammy-award winning singer is leaning into that for her new single as well, donning casual garments, such as a pair of denim shorts and a long button-up shirt like a true girly girl would. While there has been some commotion, or a frenzy if you will, about the outfit, fans have also taken to social media to express their support and excitement for Carpenter's new song: everyone sending me the video of sabrina carpenter hitchhiking in short shorts.. to be loved is to be seen — annie (@sweetndpolite) June 3, 2025 why cant you guys announce singles like sabrina carpenter in booty shorts — gab ⊬ (@FAIRLYSCALED) June 3, 2025 where does one acquire the sabrina carpenter jean shorts she's wearing i need them bruhhh😭or similar fit — tulip 🪷🦚🦢 (@tulipb4by) June 3, 2025 fumbling sabrina carpenter and subsequently becoming the subject of a song she titled 'manchild' is a generational L bro you gotta go into hiding at this point 😭😭😭 — zoë rose bryant (@zoerosebryant) June 3, 2025 sabrina carpenter hating men is kinda the best thing to ever happen to pop music — ashley 💋 (@betubrina) June 3, 2025

Vikings great Jim Marshall dies at 87
Minnesota Vikings great Jim Marshall, an ironman who started 270 consecutive games and played 20 seasons, died June 3. He was 87. A defensive lineman on the legendary 'Purple People Eaters' front four, Marshall holds the NFL record for most seasons played by a defender. He started 270 consecutive games for the Vikings from 1961-79. 'The entire Minnesota Vikings organization is mourning the loss of Jim Marshall,' the Vikings said in a statement Tuesday afternoon. 'No player in Vikings history lived the ideals of toughness, camaraderie and passion more than the all-time iron man. A cornerstone of the franchise from the beginning, Captain Jim's unmatched durability and quiet leadership earned the respect of teammates and opponents throughout his 20-year career. Jim led by example, and there was no finer example for others to follow. His impact on the Vikings was felt long after he left the field. Jim will always be remembered as a tremendous player and person. Our hearts are with his wife, Susan, and all of Jim's loved ones.' Marshall's No. 70 was retired by the Vikings. He is credited with 130.5 sacks -- tied for 22nd since the league made sacks an official statistic in 1960 -- and 30 fumble recoveries. That includes the infamous 'he's going the wrong way' scoop of a Billy Kilmer fumble before he sprinted 66 yards and unwittingly ended in his own end zone, resulting in a safety for the 49ers. A constant on a defense that included Pro Football Hall of Famers Alan Page and Carl Eller, Marshall played at Ohio State and was drafted by Cleveland. He was acquired from the Browns one year after the Minnesota franchise was established in 1960. At the time of his retirement in 1979, Marshall had played in every game in the history of the team. He was part of the 1969 NFL Championship team and played in all four of the Vikings' Super Bowl appearances in the 1970s. Selected to two Pro Bowls (1968, 1969), Marshall was a second-team All-Pro three times (1964, 1968-69). Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Late announcer Jim Fagan's voice will return with the NBA to NBC, courtesy of AI
Many people remember the late Jim Fagan as the rugged voice that proudly informed 1990s and early-2000s basketball fans that they were watching the NBA on NBC. The distinct sound of Fagan's voiceovers, with John Tesh's rousing "Roundball Rock" playing in the background, will be forever linked to the era when Michael Jordan dominated the sport and players like Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan were just starting to build their legacies. Advertisement Fagan died in 2017 at age 72 after battling Parkinson's disease. His voice, however, will soon be more than just a fond memory for basketball fans. Read more: Charles Barkley rips 'idiots' at ESPN, future home of 'Inside the NBA,' for saying 'Lakers saved the NBA' NBC Sports announced Tuesday that through the use of AI voice synthesis technology — and through a partnership with Fagan's family — the announcer's voice will be heard on "select title sequences, show opens, and promos" when the NBA returns to the network this fall after more than two decades. Fagan's voice will be used to "supplement traditional voiceover work by other artists hired by NBC Sports," the network said in a news release. That announcement came days after NBC Sports revealed that it was bringing back "Roundball Rock" as its NBA anthem. On Tuesday, the network dropped a promo video featuring both the classic song and Fagan's AI-generated voice. Any nostalgic vibes felt by old-school NBA fans definitely were not coincidental. 'For many basketball fans, Jim's unique and recognizable voice immediately conjures a deep sense of nostalgia for a special time in NBA history,' NBC Sports president Rick Cordella said in the news release. 'His voice perfectly captured the magnitude of the heavyweight matchups and stars that he was introducing. It's been a joy to work with Jim's family to recreate his voice and honor his legacy. I'm excited we're able to introduce his voice to a whole new generation of fans.' Advertisement Four hours after the promo video was posted on YouTube, it had received 25 comments, most of which criticized the decision to use AI to generate the voice of someone who is no longer alive. But Fagan's daughters, Jana Silvia Joyce and Risa Silvia-Koonin, said in NBC's news release that their father would have been "thrilled." Read more: LeBron James begs off attending the Met Gala, where he is the honorary co-chairman 'We're deeply grateful that NBC Sports had the vision to honor our father's legacy in such a meaningful way," Silvia Joyce and Silvia-Koonin stated. "He took great pride in his work with NBC Sports, especially in helping set the stage for some of the most memorable moments in NBA history. Knowing that his voice will once again be part of the game he loved — and that a new generation of fans will get to experience it — is incredibly special for our family. He would be so thrilled and proud to be a part of this.' Get the best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond from our newsletter The Sports Report.
