Megan Thee Stallion brought the Hottie Cam into the Met Gala to give us peasants a rare look inside the exclusive fundraising benefit for the arts.
The rapper broke Anna Wintour’s no-phone policy and enlisted fellow artist Doechii and basketball star Angel Reese to taste test the culinary delights from inside of the soiree: cornbread and caviar, white truffle lobster roll, vegan lox, curry chicken bites, and hamachi sushi, among other items that were either hits or misses for the trio.
Aside from finding the vegan lox “funny looking,” much of the tiny bites were hits for the rapper.
Megan later made the rounds and captured footage despite the policy. “We’re not supposed to have our phones,” the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper acknowledged.
“Not at all,” a cackling Tracee Ellis Ross said. “Put your phone away.”
“I snuck the phone inside,” the rapper said, again admitting “I’m not supposed to have this” in another clip.
Lupita Nyong’o and Angela Bassett are among the stars who also pop up in the video.

Megan Thee Stallion snuck in her phone while attending the 2025 Met Gala
A-listers convened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on the first Monday of May to celebrate the Costume Institute’s new exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which took cues from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The gala featured a dress code of “Tailored For You.” Megan brought the glamour with a glitzy silver gown by Michael Kors, complete with a billowing white fur coat.
Joining Wintour as co-chairs this year were Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky, and Pharrell Williams. Other notable attendees included former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and husband Douglas Emhoff, Diana Ross, a pregnant Rihanna, Debbie Allen, Zendaya, and Nicole Kidman.
Of the infamous no-phone policy often broken by guests, Wintour explained during an appearance on Today last year, “It’s often wonderful to hear, after dinner, people say, ‘Oh we had the most wonderful conversations.’ So that’s the idea, that life can exist without a picture on your cell phone.”
There are also some other unorthodox omissions, including the banning of chives, onions, and garlic in the recipes. “Those are three things I’m not particularly fond of,” Wintour said.
