The clip captures the heavy response, with authorities quickly surrounding and restraining the individual as the situation is brought under control.
It's still unclear what sparked the protester trying to slip into the action of Fashion's Biggest Night, but there was zero hesitation from security controlling the tightest guest list in NYC tonight.
The Met Gala's known for its massive star power and strict perimeter ... and this shows just how locked down it really is.
