Behind-the-scenes at the Met Gala: celebrities share their candid snaps of the biggest night in fashion

By Stylist Team

10 years ago

When word reached us that Anna Wintour had imposed a selfie ban on the Met Gala, the most glamorous night in the fashion calendar, we have to admit to feeling a pang of disappointment.

Would we have the door of one of the world's most exclusive parties slammed in our face? Never to see who sat with who, who got overly friendly and who behaved badly. 

Let's not forget that this time last year the world was reeling over the Solange/Jay-Z fallout - so there's no denying that the Met is an event that isn't just famous for it's spectacular fashion. 

But mercifully our fears were unfounded. Because not even the first lady of fashion could stop those selfie loving celebrities from sharing a glimpse of the event with their ever-fascinated fans.

So from Justin Bieber snuggling up to Gaga to Amal Clooney getting fitted out by Galliano to bathroom hangouts to Kim's endless snaps (naturally), we bring you the best of the selfies from last night's Met Gala. Sorry Anna.

Katie Holmes gets ready in a room with a view

Diane Kruger gets red carpet ready. Step 1: nails

"And so it begins..start with Nails ! And @chanelofficialof course ! #MET#ChineseRed#"


Step 2: hair

"Secondly...have the best hair stylist in the world fly to NY just for you and do her magic ! No one can beat Perrine Rougemont ! We've been working together for 20 years (I wish this was a joke) and I trust her with my eyes closed ❤️@perrinerougemonthair"


And finally: make-up

"Thirdly..make a make-up mess !! #MET#gettingready#"


Amal Clooney gets a fitting in the presence of fashion royalty
