Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Dakota Johnson, Bella Hadid and Marc Jacobs smoked cigarettes and clicked selfies in the restroom of Metropolitan Museum of Art — the venue for the annual Met Gala.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, US, recently hosted a bevy of international celebs at its 69th annual Costume Institute Gala, popularly known as the MET Gala.

In the restroom!
