If Anna Wintour doesn’t want you at the Met Gala, you won’t be there. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff told Amy Odell in her book “Anna: The Biography,” that Wintour is “militant in her planning of the ball,” and that “Every guest has a prearranged arrival time, and Wintour’s people know what cars they’ll arrive in, if they’ve left the house, what they’ll be wearing, and if they’ve broken a zipper along the way that needs to be fixed,” (via Page Six).
As Vogue reports, the 2022 Met Gala theme is “In America: An Anthology in Fashion,” which they explain “is built around the tenets of American style, and celebrates unsung heroes of US design.” Additionally, Glamour reported that the invitations to the Gala specified that attire should be inspired by the gilded age of New York and all of its golden glamour.
Prior to 2019, none of the Kardashians had been invited to the Met Gala despite the family’s growing celebrity power over the years. Wintour’s reported belief that the family was “tacky” kept them from the guest list, per Page Six. This year, though, the Kardashian women — including Kourtney, who will be making her Met Gala debut — will be glammed up and gracing the 2022 Met Gala red carpet. The outlet reports that Khloé, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner will be in attendance, as well as Kourtney’s fiancé, Travis Barker.
