Bad Guy crooner Billie Eilish joined the train of the bathroom mirror selfie at the 2023 Met Gala, sharing a sneaky shot of her private rendezvous with some high-profile attendees. The shot, taken during their bathroom encounter, showed the A-list female celebrities at their cheekiest.
Billie shared the bathroom selfie in her Instagram stories on Tuesday, May 2. The post featured Billie, posing alongside Elle Fanning, Halle Bailey, and Maya Hawke, who also attended the Met Gala at New York City’s The Metropolitan Museum of Art. While the other three donned fashionable dresses with white to silver hues, Billie stood out in her glamorous, lacy black dress, with her gloved hands holding up her phone for the mirror shot.
Next to a smiling Billie, The Great star Elle stuck out her tongue while Maya smiled sweetly at the camera. Little Mermaid’s Halle, who flanked Billie by the right, looked away from the camera while posing with puckered lips. The mirror had a “No Smoking, No Vaping sign” displayed on it, and Billie Eilish made sure to highlight it in the screen caption, giving the playful bathroom mirror selfie an air of mischief.
Why Billie Eilish’s Met Gala Bathroom Mirror Selfie Is Everything
Certainly, it warms hearts to see the squad of Billie, Maya, Elle, and Halle pose with reckless abandon just moments after walking the Met Gala red carpet like impeccable fashion goddesses. Having their playful side captured in one shot is as real as it gets. Coupled with the risk implication of sneaking a selfie at the Met Gala, Billie gave fans just what they needed.
Notably, Billie Eilish’s bathroom mirror selfie openly defied the strict no-selfie policy the Met Gala has in place. Hence unapologetically sharing the sneaky shot on social media, having broken the rules on fashion’ biggest night adds a certain appeal to the already compelling photo.
Since the introduction of the policy forbidding celebs from smoking, vaping, touching artworks, or taking selfies at the Met Gala, several other celebs have defied those rules with sneaky bathroom pics, making it pass for a time-honored tradition. While the implication of breaking the Met rules is the risk of not receiving an invite to subsequent Met Galas, a few bathroom shots slipping through the cracks shouldn’t hurt.
