Anna Wintour banned reality TV star Kim Kardashian from Monday night’s Met Costume Institute Gala, reports say.
Kardashian was conspicuously absent from Kanye West’s arm on the red carpet of the event. Now, Radar Online reports that Kardashian’s name stayed off the guest list as a direct edict from the Vogue editor-in-chief who hosts the evening and approves every star who enters.

“Anna hates Kim,” a source tells the site. “Why would she be invited to the event? It is all the biggest stars in the world and Kim doesn’t fit that bill at all.”
Kardashian had tweeted just hours before the ball, “So excited to see all the fashion going on in New York tonight at the MET!” leading many believe that she would be attending. But the attention-loving star did not make it down the red carpet beside beau West, who wore a classic tux.
“Kim and her camp will deny that she wasn’t invited by saying that she had business in LA, but that is a lie. She would of done anything to be there with all the A-listers,” the source furthered. “The Met Gala is $25,000 a ticket, but Kim couldn’t even buy her way in.”
Last week, Page Six revealed exclusively that Kate Upton had paid her own way to the ball, writing a check and handing it to Wintour personally. Perhaps Wintour holds less ill will towards the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue cover girl who is also popular for her sex appeal.
