Kim Kardashian<\/a> will reportedly attend the 2023 Met Gala<\/a> on the first Monday in May, despite rumors that the Kardashian-Jenners may have been cut from the guest list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to an initial report by\u00a0Page Six<\/em><\/a> in March, the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan was thought to be on\u00a0Anna Wintour<\/a>\u2018s chopping block in a bid to scale back the ultra-exclusive event. At the time, a source close to the Kardashians later told the outlet that the rumors were false, but it remained unclear whether the family would be in attendance.<\/p>\n

Now, a source has revealed to Page Six<\/em><\/a> that the SKIMS<\/a> mogul will, in fact, walk the red carpet and grand stair case of the Metropolitan Museum of Art this year after all.<\/p>\n

The outlet was informed that Kim won\u2019t be the only member of her famous family to attend but were not specifically told which other sister would be invited. Her younger sister Kendall Jenner<\/a> just graced the cover of Vogue<\/em>\u2019s tribute issue to designer Karl Lagerfeld<\/a>, who is the subject of year\u2019s Costume Institute<\/a> \u2013 so, we\u2019re placing our bets that the model will be there.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Met Gala marked the first year the entire Kardashian crew attended the affair as a family, with Khlo\u00e9 and Kourtney walking the carpet for the first time.<\/p>\n

The SKKN by KIM founder<\/a> attended her very first Met Gala in 2013 with her ex-husband Kanye West<\/a> while she was pregnant with their first child, North<\/a>. Kim adorned a floral gown designed by Riccardo Tisci<\/a> for the French fashion house Givenchy. Ever since, Kim has made waves with her Met Ball ensembles, from 2019\u2019s Sophia Loren-inspired \u201cwet\u201d dress by Thierry Mugler, featuring a waist-cinching corset by the acclaimed Mr. Pearl, to her 2021 anonymous Balenciaga black bodysuit gown covering her face, designed by Demna.<\/p>\n

Last year, the star faced backlash for borrowing a historic gown by Jean Louis from Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not!<\/em><\/a> to pay homage to the gown\u2019s first wearer, Marilyn Monroe. The Hollywood icon originally wore the gown in 1962 to sing \u201cHappy Birthday, Mr. President\u201d to John F. Kennedy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It opened up a debate as to whether historic garments should be pulled out of preservation. Designer Bob Mackie, who first sketched the famous frock while working under Louis, spoke out against it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The debate went viral when rumors began to swirl that Kim had damaged the gown\u2019s seams and beading<\/a> while squeezing into it for the Met Gala. Both Ripley\u2019s<\/em><\/a> and Kim denied<\/a> the allegations. She notably only wore the original to walk the steps, then changed into a replica for the rest of the evening. Furthering backlash, the reality star admitted to losing 16 pounds in three weeks<\/a> to fit into Monroe\u2019s dress.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s festivities will take place on May 1, with the theme \u201cKarl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to an official statement acquired by\u00a0CNN<\/em><\/a>, the presentation will consist of 150 designs that \u201cexplore the designer\u2019s stylistic language.\u201d The exhibition will include sketches and designs from Lagerfeld\u2019s tenure as creative director of Fendi, Chlo\u00e9 and Chanel, along with creations from his time at Balmain, Patou, and pieces from his namesake label, encompassing his six-decade career which lasted until his death at the age of 85 in 2019.<\/p>\n
