No, Megan Thee Stallion Was Not Banned From the Met Gala for Using Her Phone
Megan Thee Stallion has debunked a rumor that she was banned from the Met Gala after using her cell phone to document the annual party. The rapper posted footage of her with Doechii and WNBA player Angel Reese on Instagram, dubbing it the 'Hottie Cam.' Multiple outlets suggested she wouldn't be invited back for breaking the fashion event's strict rules. As it turns out, Megan was totally above board. 'No,' she replied when asked by People if she was actually banned. 'We're gonna dead these rumors right now, OK? People are like, 'Oh my God, Megan, you got banned from the Met Gala.' No, I didn't, babe. Like that's not true.'

They love making [stuff up]. Anna [Wintour] loves me, babe. That's why my phone was out.' This year's Met Gala celebrated the Met Museum's Costume Institute's new exhibition, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.' The dress code was described as 'Tailored for You' in a nod to the exhibit's focus on menswear and was 'purposefully designed to provide guidance and invite creative interpretation.' Megan Thee Stallion wasn't the only attendee who invited unwarranted controversy. Blackpink singer Lisa was criticized for donning a Louis Vuitton ensemble that many thought had an image of Rosa Parks on the crotch. The look, designed by Pharrell Williams in collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Henry Taylor, did not actually feature the Black activist. The faces seen on this look, as well as on previous LV garments featuring Taylor's artwork, are all drawn from his personal life — family members, friends, and neighbors,' a representative for Taylor told Vulture. 'These figures come directly from Henry's existing artworks, which he provided to LVMH for Pharrell's debut collection with Louis Vuitton in 2023. None of the individuals depicted in any of the garments are Rosa Parks or other well-known figures from Black cultural history. They are all people from Henry's own life.'
