However, the Kardashians may not make it to the upcoming Met Gala, as a source recently told Page Six that the Vogue Editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who oversees the guest list for the event, has chosen to leave the influential family out.

Why Is The News Shocking?

Although the news has yet to be confirmed, it is a big surprise as the Kardashian-Jenner clan attended last year's event.

Sadly, things only got worse for the mother of four, as she was heavily criticized on the internet for her outfit to the event — a jubilant floral dress.

Kim's outfit was compared to an old-school sofa pattern. However, she didn't let public opinion discourage her and has returned every year for the event.

What Is Kim Known For?

The socialite is known for show-stopping outfits by Givenchy, Lanvin, Roberto Cavalli, Balmain, Vivienne Westwood, Versace, and Balenciaga, and a vintage Marilyn Monroe number at last year's ball.

Khloe Addresses The Reports 

On the family's Hulu reality TV show The Kardashians, the Revenge Body star explained that she had been invited to the event various times but opted not to go. 

Khloe Says Red Carpets Are Not Her Thing 

Khloe further said she wasn't big on red-carpet events and had made it clear many times, adding that Kim convinced her to join the Kardashian family for the 2022 Met Gala.

Met Gala Faces Criticism 

Meanwhile, the biggest fashion event of the year has also been slammed in the past for inviting "lower tier celebrities."
