Megan Thee Stallion, never one to shy away from expressing her opinions, gave us an unexpectedly hilarious inside look at the 2025 Met Gala – and it all revolved around the food. Breaking the strict “no phones” rule, the rapper took to TikTok to provide a real-time review of the culinary offerings, much to the amusement of her fellow attendees and viewers alike.
Filming herself alongside Doechii and Angel Reese, Megan’s first review was of the cornbread and caviar appetizer. Her verdict? “It was good.” Simple, honest, and perfectly Megan. However, not everything on the Met Gala menu received the same praise. While she enjoyed the mini lobster rolls and the hamachi with carrots and avocado, the vegan lox didn’t quite hit the mark, earning a playful “It’s funny looking” from the Hot Girl Summer queen.
Her dining companions were equally candid in their assessments. Doechii passed on the truffle cheese, while Angel Reese found the chicken curry pastries a bit dry. Despite some culinary disappointments, the trio clearly had a blast, their good spirits infectious as they navigated the star-studded event.
Megan’s rebellious phone use didn’t go unnoticed. In one particularly funny moment, she quipped, “We’re not supposed to have our phones, but we’re doing it!” prompting a laugh from Tracee Ellis Ross as they crossed paths. Later, taking a selfie with Cynthia Erivo, Megan confessed, “I snuck the phone inside.” This playful defiance added another layer of entertainment to her already engaging food review.
This whole escapade provides a delightful contrast to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour’s well-known preference for phone-free, conversation-filled evenings at the Met Gala. Wintour’s past comments about prioritizing meaningful interactions over social media posts highlight the stark difference in approach between the seasoned editor and the outspoken rapper. Interestingly, Wintour’s own culinary preferences are equally particular, with a ban on chives, onions, and garlic at the event. Perhaps Megan’s honest review, though a breach of etiquette, offered a refreshing counterpoint to the usually hushed elegance of the Met Gala’s inner workings.
Beyond Megan’s food critique, the video also offered glimpses of other celebrity interactions. We saw Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter enjoying a post-party chat, a group of athletes including Simone Biles and Serena Williams engaging in conversation, and Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber making their way through the crowd. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky enjoyed a stylish date night, while several K-pop idols made a notable appearance. These brief but captivating moments added to the overall charm of Megan’s spontaneous Met Gala diary entry.
In the end, Megan Thee Stallion’s candid food review wasn’t just a fun, behind-the-scenes look at the Met Gala; it was a reminder that even amidst the glamour and high fashion, a little honest fun and delicious food can make for a truly memorable night.
