Selfies and onions not allowed: The Met Gala’s bizarre rules for guests
The use of phones for photography and social media is not permitted inside the gala.
Social media usage was reportedly banned at the event in 2015.
The purpose was to prevent celebrities from being glued to their phones all night.
The ban on social media has been ignored by some guests. In 2017, Kylie Jenner took a bathroom selfie with other guests at the event.
The Met Gala imposed a new age limit in 2018, barring anyone under the age of 18 from attending.
Page Six
reported that guests were told it was illegal to smoke in the museum during the 2018 Met Gala, following complaints.
Bella Hadid and Dakota Johnson were photographed smoking in the Met Gala bathroom in 2017.
Guests attending the Met Gala event are treated to a cocktail hour and a formal dinner.
The event doesn’t serve onions or garlic to prevent bad breath.
In addition, bruschetta is not served to prevent food stains on guests’ extravagant outfits.
The Met Gala seating arrangement is meticulously planned, with a specific focus on who sits where and next to whom.
Sylvana Ward Durrett, director of special projects at Vogue, informed that a lot of “power-brokering” goes into the seating plan.
The whole point of these things is to meet new people, and to be interested in what others are doing.
