The Met Gala’s Doomed “No Selfie” Policy

Flaunting the “no selfie” policy from the Met Gala, Kylie Jenner shared a celebrity filled selfie from the bathroom at the event. It is a curious rule at such a large scale event, widely thought to have been created to preserve the elitism of the event itself.

The questions worth asking are why the policy exists, who it actually protects ... and why it is doomed to fail. A rule that depends on a room full of famous people voluntarily agreeing not to document the most photographed night of their year is a rule waiting to be broken. Usually from the bathroom.
