The Met Gala's biggest celebs proved that social media cannot be stopped, no matter what Anna Wintour decrees.

Many attendees broke the social media and selfie ban on Monday.

In fact, almost half of all Met Gala Instagrams featured emoji in the captions. Instagram, which now allows you to use emoji as actual hashtags, collected the top emoji used during the event.

Check out the 10 most popular emoji hashtags used during the Met Gala:
