The Real Party at the Met Gala Took Place in the Coed Bathroom
Celebrities were snapped on the red carpet at the 2017 Met Gala debuting eccentric looks and socializing with friends. However, the most interesting photos of the night might have been taken in the most unexpected place — the bathroom.
Even though there is a “no social media” policy inside the gala, celebrities still tend to post content on different social platforms throughout the night. Kylie Jenner was one of the many attendees to post an image from the coed restroom at the event.
The 19-year-old social media star and makeup mogul posted a mirror selfie with a number of well-known names, including sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian, rapper A$AP Rocky, Victoria’s Secret model Lily Aldridge, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Paris Jackson, Michelle Monaghan, Brie Larson (who, as she explained on Twitter, “needed to go to the bathroom and ended up famous”), and Frank Ocean, among others.

She captioned the image, “annual bathroom selfie.” Stars featured in the photo posted similar shots — for example, in her post, Monaghan zoomed in on her face in the background and added: “When you photobomb all the cool kids.”
The potty was pretty packed:

Designer Prabal Gurung also shared a video on his Instagram channel from inside, which showed off how packed and chaotic the scene was. Victoria’s Secret models Behati Prinsloo and Taylor Hill can be seen seen posing with model Hailey Baldwin in the clip.
