Guests of the Costume Institute Benefit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art this year will have to be OK with other people taking their photo.

Entertainment Tonight sources say that there is some truth to a New York Post report claiming that selfies will not be allowed at the Met Gala on Monday. According to the Post, Anna Wintour, Vogue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are monitoring phone and photo usage at the exclusive event.

Guests have reportedly received notices saying, "The use of phones for photography and social media will not be permitted inside the gala." What is Kim Kardashian going to do?!

The Met Gala wouldn't be the first red-carpet soiree to reportedly ban selfies. According to Grazia, France's Cannes Film Festival will also restrict camera phones being used during the event.
