Kylie Jenner totally broke the Met Gala's no selfie rule but look at all the celebs

Rules are there to be broken. And, break them is precisely what Kylie Jenner did at the 69th annual Met Gala when she flouted the event's strict ban on social media to take a bathroom selfie.

Jenner nonchalantly posted a star-studded mirror selfie from the bathroom along with a whole host of fellow celebs. The photo featured Kim Kardashian, Frank Ocean, P. Diddy, A$AP Rocky, Brie Larson, Paris Jackson, Ashton Sanders, Luka Sabbat, Michelle Monaghan, and Lily Aldridge.

Anna Wintour -- who presides as "gala chair" -- has a strict no-selfie rule in place, and social media is prohibited. But, that hasn't stopped a few rebellious celebrities from defying the rules and cracking out their phones for a good old selfie. Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and -- of course -- Kim Kardashian are all guilty of breaking the selfie rule in recent years.

And, with a celeb lineup like Jenner's, it's easy to see why she threw caution to the wind to take her "annual bathroom selfie."

All power to ya, Kylie.
