“Kim Kardashian Set to Attend 2023 Met Gala Despite Rumors of Snub”

Kim Kardashian will presumably be at this year’s Met Gala, which will take place next Monday, May 1 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This April 12, Page Six reported that the millionaire star will attend the important fashion event, thus dispelling speculation that she would not be invited.

According to the report, Kim will reportedly not be the only one in her family to attend, although it is unknown which of her sisters has been summoned.

In 2022, Kourtney and Khloé were at the famous party for the first time, while Kris, Kendall and Kylie Jenner have done so on more than one occasion.

Why was it rumored that the Kardashian-Jenners would not go to the Met Gala?

It was on March 8 when the aforementioned medium announced that this 2023 Met Gala “could be free of the Kardashians.”

In this regard, the US version of Hello! He indicated that the reason for the snub had to do with attention being diverted from fashion to focus on the controversial moments of Kim and her sisters.

The Sun, relying on “an insider”, noted that the Skims founder was “very unhappy” and that her staff were trying to smooth over the relationship with the Condé Nast team.

“The leak of the news about her possibly not getting the invite caused tensions to escalate behind the scenes in what has been a huge misunderstanding,” the insider said.

Another ‘insider’ asserted to the British newspaper that supposedly the ex of Kanye West has been on the list since the fall, and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenners were later called.

“It’s been embarrassing for everyone involved, but Kim is still excited and has already been working with a top fashion house to create a custom look for the evening,” she added.

It has been confirmed that the theme of the exhibition will “examine the work of Karl Lagerfeld. Focusing on the stylistic vocabulary of the designer”.

Kim Kardashian’s latest controversy at the Met Gala

Last year, Kim was the subject of controversy for wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress to walk the red carpet at the Met Gala.

After days of secrecy, the protagonist of the series ‘The Kardashians’ flatly denied having ruined the outfit.

“I respect her (Marilyn). I understand how much this dress means to American history,” she said in an interview with Today.
