There’s always one epic selfie that comes out of Met Gala, and we have a contender for the 2025 celebrity group pic of the year — and this time, it wasn’t taken in the bathroom.
Fashion designer Stella McCartney managed to get the Queen of Pop and three of pop’s brightest stars in one pic, posting a photo from inside the Met Gala with Madonna, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx and Lorde. McCartney posted the photo on her Instagram Story on Tuesday (May 6) with the caption: “This year’s Met Gala Stelfie… x”
While we’ve seen individual photos of all four of the musicians on the Met red carpet from Monday night, this is the only evidence we’ve seen of their interaction inside the ultra-exclusive gala, where cell phones are discouraged and only Vogue cameras are allowed.
Over the years, guests have been known to sneak celebrity selfies in the Met bathroom, with Kylie Jenner posting a famous pic with sisters Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian in 2017 alongside A$AP Rocky, Frank Ocean, Diddy and Brie Larson in 2017, while Billie Eilish posed with Halle Bailey, Elle Fanning and Maya Hawke for a 2023 mirror selfie.
Before her pop-powered 2025 selfie, McCartney arrived at the Met Gala with a different music legend, walking the red carpet with Mary J. Blige, whom she dressed for the occasion in an off-white suit, matching floor-length jacket and a conversation-starting metal wide-brimmed hat.
“When I tried the cream with the pinstripes and the big shoulders, I was like, ‘Oh, this is Mary J. Blige to the 10th power,’” Blige told Vogue of choosing the menswear-inspired McCartney look.
