A new bathroom selfie at the Met Gala has gone viral, featuring nine celebrities including Margot Robbie, Ayo Edebiri, and members of Blackpink. The photo, taken by Indian model Bhavitha Mandava, recreates the famous 2017 mirror selfie by Kylie Jenner.
The 26-year-old model captured the image in the gender-neutral bathrooms, a popular spot for stars due to the relaxed enforcement of the event's social media ban. Bhavitha wore a casual top and jeans, styled by Chanel, while the others were in their red carpet outfits. However, the crowded shot made it difficult to see the intricate designs, such as Gracie Abrams' gold Chanel dress inspired by Klimt's 'The Woman in Gold'.
Margot Robbie's champagne-coloured Chanel dress, which took 761 hours to make, was largely obscured. Similarly, only a hint of Ayo Edebiri's white dress was visible. The selfie echoes Kylie Jenner's 2017 photo, which included Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and others.
Notably, Anna Wintour has her own private bathroom, guarded by security, making her unlikely to appear in such photos. Several A-listers, including Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, and Harry Styles, skipped the event this year for various reasons, such as attending a Knicks game or focusing on tours.
