Inside the Met Gala: Jennifer Lopez and flout no-selfie rule as ...

Leave it to selfie-obsessed Instagram stars Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez to flout Anna Wintour's social media ban inside the Met Gala on Monday. 

Professional photos taken inside the New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art show the two celebrities posing for a pouty snap together with their partners. 

Lopez's fifth fiance Alex Rodriguez took the shot while Kim's third husband Kanye West joined in too.

The invitation-only event, famed for its A-list celebrities and haute couture gowns, is a benefit for museum and also marks the opening of the Costume Institute's annual fashion exhibit.
