The Met Gala is nothing short of wildly eventful every year. No ceremony that sees hundreds of the biggest celebrities pulling out every style stop in the book could be remotely close to boring, and this time around was no different. However, part of what gives fashion’s biggest night its allure is the air of mystery around it. This can in large part be credited to the guest list being kept confidential leading up to the evening.
But the gala’s secrecy continues even after the stars ascend the museum steps—the reason being the infamous no-phone policy. This pesky rule can make it difficult to see just how much fun the A-list attendees enjoyed. Luckily, there are usually a few sneaky guests who risk their future invitations to snap some iconic bathroom selfies, not to mention all the blink-and-you-missed-it moments captured as celebs make their arrivals and greet each other as they head inside.
To save you from some much-dreaded FOMO, we rounded up all the major moments you might’ve missed in real-time.
