On Monday (May 1), the Georgia singer and rapper attended the annual fashion event in a futuristic silver outfit inspired by Choupette – the cat of the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfield, with Jared Leto and Doja Cat also arriving in costumes inspired by the icon’s feline companion.
Despite The Met Gala’s “no photos” rule from within the event, Lil Nas X rebelled and snapped selfies with a plethora of high-profile faces – including modelling superstars like Cara Delevingne and Naomi Campbell as well as fellow pop-stars Bad Bunny and Billie Eilish. Pete Davidson and Paris Hilton were also among those he snared for a photo.
He posted a total 14 selfies to his Twitter, including one with his ‘Industry Baby’ collaborator, Jack Harlow, who allegedly told reporters that he was “on ‘shrooms” the whole night in order to avoid interviews.
