Met Gala 2019: See What Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Hailey Baldwin and More Ate

The 2019 Met Gala has come and gone! Though the annual event, which took place on Monday, May 6, isn’t exactly known for its food (Tiffany Haddish was so hungry after the soiree in 2018 she packed some fried chicken in her purse this time around) that doesn’t mean this year’s famous partygoers didn’t grab a bite before, during or after the star-studded party. [ami-related id="1510633" url="https://www.usmagazine.com/stylish/pictures/met-gala-2019-red-carpet-fashion-see-celeb-dresses-gowns/" title="Met Gala 2019 Red Carpet Fashion: See the Stars’ Styles" target="" showsubt="false" thumb="false" imgsrc="https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/met-gala-2.jpg"] Before the festivities officially got underway, Kendall Jenner ordered some room service to her hotel suite. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shared a photo of the spread on Instagram Stories, and although she kept the dishes covered to keep them warm, she did sip on a cup of tea with some lemon and honey. Although pictures and social media posts from inside the event are typically prohibited by Vogue editor and organizer Anna Wintour, the famous faces in attendance this year didn’t exactly play by the rules. For example, newly engaged Alex Rodriguez shared an adorable clip via Instagram Stories of fiancée Jennifer Lopez taking a bite out of purple pastry with an edible person emerging from within the lavish dessert. Once the gala was officially over, all bets were off. Known pizza fanatic Hailey Bieber ordered a fresh pie to her hotel room “immediately after” the event, while Cardi B returned to her suite and feasted on steak and a pepperoni pizza of her own.
