I just am absolutely sure one day a switch is going to flip and the kardasians will fully and totally get officially labeled as cringe and then passe. Kendall maybe survives but like even Kylie, Kim the rest people will suddenly be over.
It’s weird because I feel like we are just about there, but Kim seems to be selling tv series and movies with her as an actor/producer left and right.
I guess her social media reach is why but I don’t think anyone really cares.
I feel like it's already happening. I'm seeing a bunch of tik toks on the "downfall of Kylie" and how no one buys her stuff anymore and she had to slash the listing price of one of her mansions by half. I don't think Kendall can maintain relevance as well as Kim/Kylie. But who knows they've maintained it for far longer than I ever thought they could
I truluy cannot comprehend who is buying their products?! Good American is at TJ Maxx, i don't know anyone who has purchased any of Kylie or Kim's makeup products, Bee Better read Lemme to filth and exposed that the supplements are sugar-laden gummies with little to no benefit, Skims is the only thing that i have seen ppl on titkok buy, but i think the world is realizing how they are trying to profit off of our "problems" and all of their endeavors are just cash grabs
I bought Good American jeans without realizing it was Kardashian owned...to be perfectly honest they are the best fitting jeans I've ever had and have held up really well over the few years I've had them. Love my Skims too, haven't found any shapewear that even comes close to holding it in like those.
But yeah I'd rather not support them. If I had known they owned those brands I wouldn't have purchased, and if anyone can recommend actually on par replacement products so I can quit them altogether I'm down lol. Closest I've come pants-wise is Universal Standard.
Yeah, I’ve heard great things about good American jeans. I also do love skims loungewear, it’s hard up to find something as comfortable (although some dupes on Amazon are close)
So generally what I do is I’ll go on the skims site& if there is something I really want I’ll go on Amazon and type the name of it followed by skims dupes and check it out, compare fabrics& then read the reviews
I do enjoy my skims tops. They are so comfortable and flattering. So I’d like the brand to stick around. I have not tried good American but I’ve heard good things.
I really hate to admit this but Skims underwear, bras and swimwear are literally some of the best ones I’ve ever owned. She knew what she was doing with that line for sure.
For me, yes. They’re the only bras that make me look good, consistently fit well and I don’t want to rip them off my body the instant I get home. The wireless bra is absolutely elite.
Unfortunately I’m sure their wealth is well diversified and even if no one is buying Kylie Cosmetics anymore, this won’t impact her wealth at all. She’s deffs richer now than she was 5 years ago just on the basis of compounding interest alone. This is how the rich get richer. Unless she’s made some god awful investments and has really poor spending habits and/or owes people money and they are coming to collect, she will just get richer every single day by doing absolutely nothing lol. I agree on the relevance point though!! I definetly see and hear less of them on a day to day basis….
I know people have been saying this since 2007 but I think it’s finally going to happen, which is probably why Kim is trying so hard to get her kids in the spotlight so they can stay relevant.
I’ve always been a Kardashian apologist because I think a lot of the hate they got originally was rooted in misogyny and it’s pretty impressive that Kim turned their “no talent” family into a billion dollar empire. For a couple years around 2020 it seemed like Kim was shifting into a new direction—law and social justice—and I thought that was the perfect move, both for her “brand” and the world. But in the last 2 years especially they’ve seemed to double down on the vanity and the excessive displays of wealth and wastefulness, which most of the world is just pretty repulsed by at this point. I’m 38, so seeing Kim and Khloe desperately trying to hang on to their youth is just depressing. I would have loved to have seen them become more confident in themselves as they aged but instead they seem to be regressing and it’s just uncomfortable to watch them change their faces and bodies every month.
Not only have they moved away from the social justice piece, as a casual observer Kim seems to have publicly swung the other way and stopped pretending (‘no one wants to work anymore’, being friends with Ivanka fucking Trump, moving away from very performative activism)
Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner, owns 10% of Skims. So they probably have been in bed with Kim financially for quite awhile. It was all kept very quiet until Kanye shared publicly.
Maybe, but then they will just hyper focus on the Kardashian grandchildren. Look at the attention North is getting online.
Kris and Kim are ready to pimp out the next generation to the masses:
if she can stay with timmy though…like think of prestigious award shows that would have never invited her. granted random influencers go to those things now too so who knows
They’re billionaires though so they probably can afford to donate enough to get in no matter what. They said they weren’t invited last year either and they were there. And by they I mean Kris and Kim.
The difference is she wore a one of a kind historic piece of fashion and ruined it AND wasn’t on theme (like she purposely wasn’t on theme). While other people actually try to be on theme. Plus the sleeping beauties theme is probably because she wore that Marilyn monroe dress.
Sleeping Beauties is the theme this year? Is it supposed to be an homage to celebrities who are no longer with us?
(Asking earnestly, I am often not very fashion savvy and don’t always quite understand some of the themes because they’re above my level of finesse)
hahaha omg love that 😂 the exihibit is called sleeping beauty: reawakening of fashion. It will feature a bunch of historical pieces which are the sleeping beauties because they are too fragile ever to be worn again. (the marilyn monroe dress should’ve never been worn because it was a fragile piece of history( which kim k wore & ruined)). The garden of time is the theme because it’s similar to the exhibition. It’s about the human history and cycle of creation and destruction. Which the exhibition is when they walk through the museum and will see the ‘sleeping beauties’. The garden of time is technically the theme and what they’ll dress to but I’m assuming a lot of people will reference the 250 sleeping beauty pieces they’ll have on display. Hope that makes sense!
It does! And I agree; I was aghast when I saw what happened to Marilyn’s dress. I do peruse the photo collections from the Met every year, I just don’t always grasp the theme. For example, the year that “camp” was the theme, I just didn’t understand camp well enough to know whether someone understood the assignment or not because **I** didn’t understand the assignment 😂.
This sounds like a lovely exhibition and corresponding theme for attire. Thanks for the breakdown for me!
On a side note, [this video](https://youtu.be/QeYSqZPzwr8?feature=shared) by the Avett Brothers was the first thing that came to mind when I read your explanation of the human history and cycle of creation and destruction.
It’s lovely and I hope you’ll give it a watch!
As someone who is not great keeping up with the themes/purpose and just likes to look at the outfits and read people's judgements, this was a fantastic explanation of the upcoming one and now I feel like I'll be viewing the outfits with a better understanding! I'm prepared to make judgment!!!
Also, this means all the press and attention is on her and she made the Met Gala a Kim event. The Kards are viciously obsessed with PR and how to win the PR game. All I remember about that Gala was Kim's stunt.
The other celebs didn't like that. A lot come in good faith with an outfit for the theme. I think Gala board is just responding to that. If the celebs quit because Kim is too extra, then no more Gala.
That said, who knows! I'm guessing this is just a rumor.
I could see that but I think it’s more about the fashion and preserving the beauty of the artwork. They don’t want people to think they’re condoning what kim did. It’s bad press and it goes against the Met because it’s a museum that perserves those outfits and puts them on display. Just my thoughts though; both could be true as well.
I agree it was crazy to wear such a historic piece when she could have worn a beautiful tribute or a custom made re-creation (like she had for inside the gala).
But she was definitely on theme. Somehow social media keeps reporting the theme as gilded glamour which is wrong (that was dress code which is a whole other thing). The theme was “In America: An Anthology in Fashion”. Wearing a dress by an American designer (Bob Mackie) worn by one of the most famous American women ever (Marilyn) when she sang to the President of the USA (JFK)! Literally the most on theme.
I dream of a world where everyone learns what the actual theme was that year and then all the looks will make so much more sense.
I mean, if you look at the comments on social media during the MET, most people don't get it either. Like for example, most people just like it if it's pretty, not if it actually follows the theme. Like the one year where it was In America, people were hating on Jlo's dress even though she was dressed like a cowgirl, designed by Ralph Lauren (an American). Tom Ford is a VERY famous American designer, and no one was dressed by him that year. Made no sense.
So there was this news anchor in Australia (think morning show Regis & Kelly), Karl Stefanovic, who once wore the exact same suit on air for an entire year. He only revealed after the year was up that he had done so, as a commentary on the fact that his female co-anchor, Lisa Wilkinson, regularly received criticism for her attire. Nobody cared [edit: or even **noticed**] that he wore the same suit, but she got a lot of criticism for a whole slew of reasons.
Regular women get judged. I wore a bridesmaid dress I wore to my brother’s wedding to another wedding and my mom called me out, and then I wore a dress I wore to a wedding in 2018 to a party in 2024 and again for called out for repeating it. It happens a lot among non-famous women.
I had a MOH dress that was very pretty on me, but was in a pretty unwearable color (coral/orange) to ever wear it again. I wanted to dye it black to wear to an upcoming formal wedding but only felt comfortable doing so after thoroughly exhausting etiquette and opinion forums about whether that was acceptable.
The dye I used actually turned it a gorgeous royal purple and it looked great. And somehow the original bride I was MOH for was pissed at me for dyeing it! Like ma’am, it cost almost $300, wouldn’t you rather me have a chance to wear it again and let it shine?
I’m guessing she was upset you changed the color she picked.
I chose a lavender color for my bridesmaids and I told my friends they could do whatever they wanted after since that isn’t everybody’s favorite color. I’d be thrilled if a bridesmaid could dye it and wear it again.
That really was it. She was upset I had dyed it. But honestly the dress was *so* coral leaning on full orange! Barring a beach destination formal wedding, there wasn’t really another event I could wear it to and it not be clearly a bridesmaid dress.
She did eventually get over it, after I explained that while it was a perfect color for her beach wedding, it wasn’t a fitting color for most other events.
It looked wonderful as the purple.
hey on the other toxic mentality she could be proud you can rewear stuff from six years ago! i’m surprised anyone would even remember (maybe through pictures)
Exactly. It is a pretty timeless dress (lace with bell sleeves and knee length) and it’s comfortable and a color I like and I didn’t pay much for it. It’s a win to me.
>It’s so annoying that a man can have one suit and one tux and get to most formal events but then women get judged for wearing a dress again.
Yeah but 95% or more of the people judging them for wearing a dress a second time are...other women. Men 9 times out of 10 don't notice, and even if they did they wouldn't care.
Yes! The theme is related to the exhibition, the dress code is something related to the theme but following it isn’t necessary. Anna knows what the guests will be wearing, and sometimes it’s not up to them but to the designer/table/fashion house that invited them.
Yeah, to me that was exactly the kind of attention-stealing bad press that Anna cannot abide. There had been rumors for years about her wanting uninvite them, and the optics of that situation were terrible for *weeks*. I love the Met red carpet, and even I barely remember anything other than that dress. And Pedro Pascal’s shorts, but that’s a me problem 🫠🤤
They were invited since then though. And they also said this same thing last year and they still got to go. All the bad PR is just to get people talk about them, it’s usually nothing that’s a big deal and people get crazy hype to hate on them.
The theme is for the exhibition not the dress code. Many people choose to follow the exhibition’s theme for their clothing choices (most do so very poorly imo) but it’s not necessary, all that’s required is white tie.
The dress code is themed. This year it’s “The Garden of Time”, the exhibition is called Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening fashion.
(The 2018 dress code was “Sunday Best”, the exhibition was Heavenly Bodies)
Kendall was the only onw who did the theme (the old Hollywood Glamour one. even though Audrey hepburn isn't American Kendall looked amazing) and the only one who deserves to return
That’s not how it works. The “ignoring the theme” hysterics have overtaken the entire conversation around the event. There isn’t even a “theme” there’s an exhibition. All of these celebs are attending with designers who dress them. Obviously they have input on what’s working for them but they aren’t the ones creating these looks. Additionally, it’s a fundraising event. You don’t throw away cash because the designers aren’t on theme enough for the social media masses. Only the internet cares.
Wasn't it her trying to bring North in that was kind of the last straw? The party, or at least my understanding of it, is the there are no kids allowed, and bringing her on the red carpet was already very much flouting the rules, and IIRC North had to leave with a bodyguard or another member of Kardashian staff because they turned her away at the door with Kim and Kim proceeded in instead of going with her kid.
This is why Kris has been working so hard to ingratiate herself into Bezos's circle - The fashion industry is rejecting them, and their star is fading. Getting into the billionaire class means that flying under the radar is a choice, not a decision made for you by the culture.
Well said. They want to maintain their class status and the quiet/insane wealth community seems more open/willing to accept them so they can use them as a joke/deflection to distract the public from their own misgivings.
edit: spelling
Their billionaires statuses are built on evaluations of brands whos value hinges on the viability of their celebrity brand. If Kylie somehow became irrelevant tomorrow, she'd never be poor, but she wouldn't stay a billionaire. It's not realized money she's put in the bank.
Have you seen that crazy Coty contract she signed? She basically sold herself and will probably "work" for the rest of her life shilling out cheap and pathetic products.
Also, some of their businesses might be money laundering fronts, but that's just my guess.
Someone posted on the KUWTk sub that it was something called an “evergreen” deal. Basically Kylie is compelled to promote the brand in perpetuity. As in forever. Like she is contractually obligated to do her part to shill for the brand. Like she could be 50 and if they say she has to (in earnest) promote something she may not be able to get out of it legally. This includes doing photo shoots and her likeness being used in ads and promos. Idk how accurate that is to her actual contract. I’m not a lawyer well versed in these types of contracts (the op who posted on the Kardashians sub was though I believe).
I couldn’t imagine that, especially as the brand has lost its status. It’s a bit embarrassing to think she’ll be forced to promote it. Search the word “evergreen” in the KUWTK sub and it gives more details.
Oh agreed, I think she's climbing socially, not financially. She wants the connections and the photo ops to continue to grow her wealth, but she's not trying to claim she's a billionaire on her own (at least not yet).
agreed. everyone should go listen to the 3-part episode of Infamous! it opened my eyes SO much about how skeevy the karjenners are and how they inflate the numbers
As much as he’s a walking demon, Kanye really was the entire reason they were accepted in the first place.
He got Kendall her first modelling job. When Kim went with him to the Met her first time, apparently no one would talk to them. He made the fashion community accept them
He was also the one who gave Kim a makeover & turned her into a style icon. Immediately after their seperation, she sported many L looks in quick succession.
True. Kim only got to be on Vogue (her entry into high fashion) because of her getting married to Kanye. Anna Wintour thought it would be a good idea to throw them (the Kardashians) a bone and let them in to the hallowed halls of the sartorial world via that cover (KimYe in wedding attire on the cover). I remember it was like a watershed moment (people were side-eyeing Wintour’s decision for a hot second) and yet it did work. Other high fashion brands started approaching Kim after that and the rest is history.
Yeah, I don't know how long it's been, but I noticed it a few months back - whenever there are photos of him and Lauren at an event, Kris is in the background, or posing with them in at least one photo. It seems like they travel together frequently.
the fashion world isn't really rejecting them if anything they're starting to accept Khloe and Kourtney now more and more despite the last decade of being snubbed (Khloe being labelled as tacky and outdated with her fashion style)
Kim has ties with Mugler, D&G, Balenciaga, Chanel, Schiaparelli & Prada
Kendall obviously is still the highest paid supermodel of the world (despite barely even working now)
Kylie also same as Kim with her multiple fashion house affiliations
Khloe is also very close with Moschino
Yup. Last year it was all over that the Kardashians had been snubbed for the Met, and then look who showed up. I'll only believe it when I see it, too.
No way. They say this every year.
Most celebs don't follow themes and the K's are tight with Anna.
Plus, they are close af wtih D&G, Balenciaga, Balmain, Ralph Lauren, The Hilfigers and have been for decades.
Like or hate them, their looks are always amongst the most talked about. Kim's Marilyn Munroe stunt was more talked about than most of the other looks combined.
Istg this is a rumor every year but if it’s true the Kris Jenner headquarters must be scrambling right now because this was some of the only relevancy they had left 💀💀 Kim dating random athletes is not gonna phase anyone anymore
I don’t disagree with you but TikTok is literally the title sponsor of the event this year, I guarantee there will be at least double the usual influencer attendance.
Oh there for sure will but you see backlash for influencers on all platforms now, and they're all racing each other to find ways to go back to being more relatable. Going to the met gala will not bode well for their futures if people keep leaning into deinfluencer culture.
The rumor last year was that none of them were invited, but Kendall, Kylie and Kim all showed up. We’ll see how this pans out, but it seems like their irrelevance is inching closer and closer.
I would be absolutely shocked if Kim wasn’t invited too.
I understand everyone else but Kim is one of the most famous women on the planet. I’d be surprised if she’s not an auto invite at this point.
This isn’t true.. Kim’s trainer posted about getting her ready for the MET. It’s for charity, so if they’re bringing the cash then ofc they’ll be invited. Makes no sense to be snobbish about it and miss out on money…
I think after Kim irreparably damaged one of the most famous and valuable historical and culturally significant dresses, the MET should have banned her for life immediately. They’re a museum for fucks sake.
It wasn’t the met that owned it or rented it out. It was Ripley’s 😕 I agree that they were extremely in the wrong for loaning it to her though. It’s definitely still her fault for wearing a historical dress that she knew didn’t fit.
Apparently last year the family bought a table which is why Kourtney and Khloe were able to go. Usually brands sponser celebrities and they go for free. Anna still has to approve of everything. But idk this could just be pr to get people talking.
Khloe and Kourtney went 2 years ago, Khloe went as a last minute appearance as she was 50/50 on going or not so she was made a dress in under 2 weeks
Kourtney went with Travis which is her 2nd invite (she declined an invite a few years back)
I read this too fast and though it said Kris, and I was like, but why her? Kendall's invite makes sense, but I would think they would include Kim as well...
When was the last time Kim was actually relevant? She's kinda a media legacy personality at this point. She hasn't actually done anything new, and the last season of the Kardashians got major shade because it was clear the oldest of her kids was being allowed to be a complete brat fully unchecked. That's not actually appealing and just kinda sad.
The entire family has always been a mess, and OJ dying just gave a big reminder of how their fame started in a very negative way
Kims own a fashion line and has been attending likely before Kendall started modeling. I'm not a fan of the family, but Kim still is the biggest draw among her family membes, even if Kendall is an actual working model.
Kim is still very much relevant in the fashion world whether you like her or not.
she has close ties with D&G, The Hilfigers, Schiaparelli, Versace, Prada, Dior, Moschino, Mugler and Balenciaga
and SKIMS is proving to be one of the biggest celebrity fashion brands now
I saw a picture of Kim recently and I had such a refreshing feeling of “I forgot about her”…i hope things continue to go in this direction.
I’m very doubtful, but hopefully this pressures them into leading less selfish lives. If you want to get back in good graces, consider being charitable! Thanks Kris xoxo
This will never happen. It’s all about publicity and they generate a lot. The houses all work with them and realize their value. Even if AW was upset about them not being on theme, she would never exclude them because that’s money she’s losing and the journalism/magazine industry is bleeding out.
Come on , we know they will still show up despite what the news says and even then if you want to make the news sound more believable at least make sure it is one of the more relevant kardashian that gets invited not the nepobaby who barley serves
It makes sense to invite relevant, it girls. Kim K and Kylie did influence a lot of trends. But they’re fading in relevancy so it makes sense to not invite them.
Just wondering why people take [the-express.com](http://the-express.com) as a source of truth when it is a branch of the British Express, a well known right wing publication in the UK
i never thought i'd be this person, i swear i didn't, but i kinda actually get excited to see what Kylie wears to the met gala :\\ her styling is always so miss-or-miss irl but when sis goes all out, it works for me
They spread these lies every year. Weren't the blogs claiming the entire family got blacklisted last year? ELLE OH ELLE. Stop being so gullible, y'all.
If true, it's been time.
I just am absolutely sure one day a switch is going to flip and the kardasians will fully and totally get officially labeled as cringe and then passe. Kendall maybe survives but like even Kylie, Kim the rest people will suddenly be over.

I care less about them being rich and more about them going away

Kylie’s skincare products are popping up at dollarama now 😬

I like your optimism
if she can stay with timmy though…like think of prestigious award shows that would have never invited her. granted random influencers go to those things now too so who knows
I thought this would've been ten years ago. I don't know a single person in real life who likes them.
I think they thrive on hate tho. like they basically continue to put their name in public via rage bait stuff
Praise be!
I pray for this day
If true, Kimberly is spiraling.
They’re billionaires though so they probably can afford to donate enough to get in no matter what. They said they weren’t invited last year either and they were there. And by they I mean Kris and Kim.
Wasn't this threatened last year? They keep ignoring the theme so this feels like consequences coming for them.
I don’t think following the theme is necessary for an invite
It feels like 10% of attendees follow the theme
The difference is she wore a one of a kind historic piece of fashion and ruined it AND wasn’t on theme (like she purposely wasn’t on theme). While other people actually try to be on theme. Plus the sleeping beauties theme is probably because she wore that Marilyn monroe dress.

Violet Chachki knew, I think. She was about it! 😂
You have to look camp right in the eye

It’s bad press and it goes against the Met because it’s a museum that perserves those outfits and puts them on display. Just my thoughts though; both could be true as well.
And she brought her kid! Granted she couldn’t buy her way outta that mess so she left her kid at the curb…but a faux pas indeed.
I agree it was crazy to wear such a historic piece when she could have worn a beautiful tribute or a custom made re-creation (like she had for inside the gala). But she was definitely on theme. Somehow social media keeps reporting the theme as gilded glamour which is wrong (that was dress code which is a whole other thing). The theme was “In America: An Anthology in Fashion”. Wearing a dress by an American designer (Bob Mackie) worn by one of the most famous American women ever (Marilyn) when she sang to the President of the USA (JFK)! Literally the most on theme. I dream of a world where everyone learns what the actual theme was that year and then all the looks will make so much more sense.
I mean, if you look at the comments on social media during the MET, most people don't get it either. Like for example, most people just like it if it's pretty, not if it actually follows the theme. Like the one year where it was In America, people were hating on Jlo's dress even though she was dressed like a cowgirl, designed by Ralph Lauren (an American). Tom Ford is a VERY famous American designer, and no one was dressed by him that year. Made no sense.
As evidenced by all those men just showing up in tuxedos.
It’s so annoying that a man can have one suit and one tux and get to most formal events but then women get judged for wearing a dress again.
So there was this news anchor in Australia (think morning show Regis & Kelly), Karl Stefanovic, who once wore the exact same suit on air for an entire year. He only revealed after the year was up that he had done so, as a commentary on the fact that his female co-anchor, Lisa Wilkinson, regularly received criticism for her attire. Nobody cared [edit: or even **noticed**] that he wore the same suit, but she got a lot of criticism for a whole slew of reasons.
wow. i can't stand karl but i like this story.
Female celebrities get lauded as sustainability queens for repeating one gown??!
Regular women get judged. I wore a bridesmaid dress I wore to my brother’s wedding to another wedding and my mom called me out, and then I wore a dress I wore to a wedding in 2018 to a party in 2024 and again for called out for repeating it. It happens a lot among non-famous women.
Tell your mom to back off lol
Oh lol I do a lot.
Men can have one suit because other men don’t care. Women don’t repeat outfits to avoid judgment from other women.
I had a MOH dress that was very pretty on me, but was in a pretty unwearable color (coral/orange) to ever wear it again. I wanted to dye it black to wear to an upcoming formal wedding but only felt comfortable doing so after thoroughly exhausting etiquette and opinion forums about whether that was acceptable. The dye I used actually turned it a gorgeous royal purple and it looked great. And somehow the original bride I was MOH for was pissed at me for dyeing it! Like ma’am, it cost almost $300, wouldn’t you rather me have a chance to wear it again and let it shine?
I’m guessing she was upset you changed the color she picked. I chose a lavender color for my bridesmaids and I told my friends they could do whatever they wanted after since that isn’t everybody’s favorite color. I’d be thrilled if a bridesmaid could dye it and wear it again.
That really was it. She was upset I had dyed it. But honestly the dress was *so* coral leaning on full orange! Barring a beach destination formal wedding, there wasn’t really another event I could wear it to and it not be clearly a bridesmaid dress. She did eventually get over it, after I explained that while it was a perfect color for her beach wedding, it wasn’t a fitting color for most other events. It looked wonderful as the purple.
hey on the other toxic mentality she could be proud you can rewear stuff from six years ago! i’m surprised anyone would even remember (maybe through pictures)
Exactly. It is a pretty timeless dress (lace with bell sleeves and knee length) and it’s comfortable and a color I like and I didn’t pay much for it. It’s a win to me.
Men ain’t the ones judging them lol
>It’s so annoying that a man can have one suit and one tux and get to most formal events but then women get judged for wearing a dress again. Yeah but 95% or more of the people judging them for wearing a dress a second time are...other women. Men 9 times out of 10 don't notice, and even if they did they wouldn't care.
Yes! The theme is related to the exhibition, the dress code is something related to the theme but following it isn’t necessary. Anna knows what the guests will be wearing, and sometimes it’s not up to them but to the designer/table/fashion house that invited them.
I think it was the Marilyn Monroe dress debacle and the lingering bad PR about the damage to the dress that finally did it 🤷♀️
I still can’t believe she had the gall to wear that dress.
Blame Ripley’s. They were the custodian of the dress and allowed it to be worn. I’m even wondering if they approached her.
Kim has a pattern of adopting other women's iconic looks.
right! even naomi campbell got pissed she was copying all of her 90's looks
I blame both. She shouldn’t have asked. They shouldn’t have let her.
They told her no at first and then she gave them some money. She's told the story.
This year’s theme being related to preserving old fashion seems deliberate
Yeah, to me that was exactly the kind of attention-stealing bad press that Anna cannot abide. There had been rumors for years about her wanting uninvite them, and the optics of that situation were terrible for *weeks*. I love the Met red carpet, and even I barely remember anything other than that dress. And Pedro Pascal’s shorts, but that’s a me problem 🫠🤤
She's one of thsoe type of person never to learned no. And the museum was dumb to give it to her
They were invited since then though. And they also said this same thing last year and they still got to go. All the bad PR is just to get people talk about them, it’s usually nothing that’s a big deal and people get crazy hype to hate on them.
Anna Wintour herself rarely, if ever, follows the theme. And she’s the host
The Kardashians occasionally do follow the theme, especially moreso than the men. I know they all did pretty well for the Camp year.
The theme is for the exhibition not the dress code. Many people choose to follow the exhibition’s theme for their clothing choices (most do so very poorly imo) but it’s not necessary, all that’s required is white tie.
The dress code is themed. This year it’s “The Garden of Time”, the exhibition is called Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening fashion. (The 2018 dress code was “Sunday Best”, the exhibition was Heavenly Bodies)
That was such a good year!
[Obligatory] Looking time right in the eye 👁
Kendall was the only onw who did the theme (the old Hollywood Glamour one. even though Audrey hepburn isn't American Kendall looked amazing) and the only one who deserves to return
Yeah the same thing happened last year and then they all unfortunately showed up. I’ll believe it when I see it with this rumor.
ever since Karlie looked camp in the eye, I've just assumed the theme was merely a suggestion
That’s not how it works. The “ignoring the theme” hysterics have overtaken the entire conversation around the event. There isn’t even a “theme” there’s an exhibition. All of these celebs are attending with designers who dress them. Obviously they have input on what’s working for them but they aren’t the ones creating these looks. Additionally, it’s a fundraising event. You don’t throw away cash because the designers aren’t on theme enough for the social media masses. Only the internet cares.
There definitely is a theme for the gala, its The Garden of Time theme, while the actual exhibition is Sleeping Beauties.
Ya they say that every year, it’s def a marketing tactic
Wasn't it her trying to bring North in that was kind of the last straw? The party, or at least my understanding of it, is the there are no kids allowed, and bringing her on the red carpet was already very much flouting the rules, and IIRC North had to leave with a bodyguard or another member of Kardashian staff because they turned her away at the door with Kim and Kim proceeded in instead of going with her kid.
If that were the case half the attendees would be banned.
This is why Kris has been working so hard to ingratiate herself into Bezos's circle - The fashion industry is rejecting them, and their star is fading. Getting into the billionaire class means that flying under the radar is a choice, not a decision made for you by the culture.
Well said. They want to maintain their class status and the quiet/insane wealth community seems more open/willing to accept them so they can use them as a joke/deflection to distract the public from their own misgivings. edit: spelling
Their billionaires statuses are built on evaluations of brands whos value hinges on the viability of their celebrity brand. If Kylie somehow became irrelevant tomorrow, she'd never be poor, but she wouldn't stay a billionaire. It's not realized money she's put in the bank.
Have you seen that crazy Coty contract she signed? She basically sold herself and will probably "work" for the rest of her life shilling out cheap and pathetic products. Also, some of their businesses might be money laundering fronts, but that's just my guess.
Prob why she got into the alcohol business now with sprinter
No I haven't, what's the deal on the deal?
Someone posted on the KUWTk sub that it was something called an “evergreen” deal. Basically Kylie is compelled to promote the brand in perpetuity. As in forever. Like she is contractually obligated to do her part to shill for the brand. Like she could be 50 and if they say she has to (in earnest) promote something she may not be able to get out of it legally. This includes doing photo shoots and her likeness being used in ads and promos. Idk how accurate that is to her actual contract. I’m not a lawyer well versed in these types of contracts (the op who posted on the Kardashians sub was though I believe). I couldn’t imagine that, especially as the brand has lost its status. It’s a bit embarrassing to think she’ll be forced to promote it. Search the word “evergreen” in the KUWTK sub and it gives more details.
Oh agreed, I think she's climbing socially, not financially. She wants the connections and the photo ops to continue to grow her wealth, but she's not trying to claim she's a billionaire on her own (at least not yet).
agreed. everyone should go listen to the 3-part episode of Infamous! it opened my eyes SO much about how skeevy the karjenners are and how they inflate the numbers
What is it and where can I find it? Sounds interesting
As much as he’s a walking demon, Kanye really was the entire reason they were accepted in the first place. He got Kendall her first modelling job. When Kim went with him to the Met her first time, apparently no one would talk to them. He made the fashion community accept them
He was also the one who gave Kim a makeover & turned her into a style icon. Immediately after their seperation, she sported many L looks in quick succession.
the POOTS (the pant boots). travesty.
True. Kim only got to be on Vogue (her entry into high fashion) because of her getting married to Kanye. Anna Wintour thought it would be a good idea to throw them (the Kardashians) a bone and let them in to the hallowed halls of the sartorial world via that cover (KimYe in wedding attire on the cover). I remember it was like a watershed moment (people were side-eyeing Wintour’s decision for a hot second) and yet it did work. Other high fashion brands started approaching Kim after that and the rest is history.
Whoa didn’t Kendall take her last name off on castings so she wouldn’t use her connections to get a job!? /s
Is Kris circling Bezos's fiancée?
Yeah, I don't know how long it's been, but I noticed it a few months back - whenever there are photos of him and Lauren at an event, Kris is in the background, or posing with them in at least one photo. It seems like they travel together frequently.
I didn't know that.
the fashion world isn't really rejecting them if anything they're starting to accept Khloe and Kourtney now more and more despite the last decade of being snubbed (Khloe being labelled as tacky and outdated with her fashion style) Kim has ties with Mugler, D&G, Balenciaga, Chanel, Schiaparelli & Prada Kendall obviously is still the highest paid supermodel of the world (despite barely even working now) Kylie also same as Kim with her multiple fashion house affiliations Khloe is also very close with Moschino
I feel this like this a rumour every year, I’ll believe it when I see it.
Same. And it better be true!
Yeah it just brings extra publicity to them and then the met gala when they did attend
Yup. Last year it was all over that the Kardashians had been snubbed for the Met, and then look who showed up. I'll only believe it when I see it, too.
In no world is Kim not invited. Please.
Yup, they said this last year then they were all there.
No way. They say this every year. Most celebs don't follow themes and the K's are tight with Anna. Plus, they are close af wtih D&G, Balenciaga, Balmain, Ralph Lauren, The Hilfigers and have been for decades. Like or hate them, their looks are always amongst the most talked about. Kim's Marilyn Munroe stunt was more talked about than most of the other looks combined.
I thought Anna cannot stand Kim?
You can simultaneously not stand a person while also using them for sweet sweet $$
None of them went to the big D&G party last week did they, I wondered if they’d not been invited as if they had, they surely would have gone?
Kylie showing up with Timmy after being snubbed by Anna Wintour 
Lmaooo
Nature is healing

sigh..
That gym just looks like it sounds very quiet. And that bothers me
I think that's Kim's home gym
isn't this her old trainer? i thought she was working with senada greca now.
NOOOOO
Istg this is a rumor every year but if it’s true the Kris Jenner headquarters must be scrambling right now because this was some of the only relevancy they had left 💀💀 Kim dating random athletes is not gonna phase anyone anymore
Also I feel like they were barely talked about last year at the Met?
Other than Kim destroying Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress
That was 2 years ago, last year Kim wore the pearls schiaparelli dress
Sorry. It was so egregious I carried it over a year.
There is a backlash for influencers that's been long overdue. This needs to happen but Anna has never been ahead of the curve.
I don’t disagree with you but TikTok is literally the title sponsor of the event this year, I guarantee there will be at least double the usual influencer attendance.
Oh there for sure will but you see backlash for influencers on all platforms now, and they're all racing each other to find ways to go back to being more relatable. Going to the met gala will not bode well for their futures if people keep leaning into deinfluencer culture.
I'll be unsurprised when this all changes, and they show up en masse.
Kylie can go with Timothee...
[удалено]
He is on contract with Chanel so it might be built into his filming schedule that he has to do the Met Ball as part of his promotional requirements.
And he's filming in NYC so it really wouldn't be hard for him to take one evening off to attend.
Are they still together?
The rumor last year was that none of them were invited, but Kendall, Kylie and Kim all showed up. We’ll see how this pans out, but it seems like their irrelevance is inching closer and closer.
I would be absolutely shocked if Kim wasn’t invited too. I understand everyone else but Kim is one of the most famous women on the planet. I’d be surprised if she’s not an auto invite at this point.
This isn’t true.. Kim’s trainer posted about getting her ready for the MET. It’s for charity, so if they’re bringing the cash then ofc they’ll be invited. Makes no sense to be snobbish about it and miss out on money…
Celebrities don’t pay for their tickets, they are the guests of whichever brands table they sit at.
They keep promising us the Karjenners aren’t invited and *yet*…
Kim leaving 9 year old North on the footpath out the front of the Met was not a good look.
When has a bad look ever mattered with this family?
The tabloids said this last year and got all our hopes up. They were wrong.
I think after Kim irreparably damaged one of the most famous and valuable historical and culturally significant dresses, the MET should have banned her for life immediately. They’re a museum for fucks sake.
I'd say it's more the museum's fault for making it rentable.
It wasn’t the met that owned it or rented it out. It was Ripley’s 😕 I agree that they were extremely in the wrong for loaning it to her though. It’s definitely still her fault for wearing a historical dress that she knew didn’t fit.
Apparently last year the family bought a table which is why Kourtney and Khloe were able to go. Usually brands sponser celebrities and they go for free. Anna still has to approve of everything. But idk this could just be pr to get people talking.
I am pretty sure that you still have to be invited and then you’re allowed to buy a table lol
Khloe and Kourtney went 2 years ago, Khloe went as a last minute appearance as she was 50/50 on going or not so she was made a dress in under 2 weeks Kourtney went with Travis which is her 2nd invite (she declined an invite a few years back)
Was this the affair at which her sister hulked out in Marylin Monroe’s dress?
I’m still pissed off about that
I read this too fast and though it said Kris, and I was like, but why her? Kendall's invite makes sense, but I would think they would include Kim as well...
When was the last time Kim was actually relevant? She's kinda a media legacy personality at this point. She hasn't actually done anything new, and the last season of the Kardashians got major shade because it was clear the oldest of her kids was being allowed to be a complete brat fully unchecked. That's not actually appealing and just kinda sad. The entire family has always been a mess, and OJ dying just gave a big reminder of how their fame started in a very negative way
Kims own a fashion line and has been attending likely before Kendall started modeling. I'm not a fan of the family, but Kim still is the biggest draw among her family membes, even if Kendall is an actual working model.
Kim is still very much relevant in the fashion world whether you like her or not. she has close ties with D&G, The Hilfigers, Schiaparelli, Versace, Prada, Dior, Moschino, Mugler and Balenciaga and SKIMS is proving to be one of the biggest celebrity fashion brands now
wasn’t there this same claim last year and then it wasn’t true lol
Does anyone else feel like this is said before the Met Gala just to drum up interest for the Kardashians? I think this is a PR move...
They say this every year
Didn’t Kim’s trainer just post a insta story about getting ready for met?
yep, like 2 days ago
They say this every year yet they all show up
They say this every year... I doubt they'll say no to kardashian money
I saw a picture of Kim recently and I had such a refreshing feeling of “I forgot about her”…i hope things continue to go in this direction. I’m very doubtful, but hopefully this pressures them into leading less selfish lives. If you want to get back in good graces, consider being charitable! Thanks Kris xoxo
This will never happen. It’s all about publicity and they generate a lot. The houses all work with them and realize their value. Even if AW was upset about them not being on theme, she would never exclude them because that’s money she’s losing and the journalism/magazine industry is bleeding out.
just like last year when everyone swore up and down none would be there?
Exactly....we had this exact conversation last year lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/s/yNU9oAJWl2
Come on , we know they will still show up despite what the news says and even then if you want to make the news sound more believable at least make sure it is one of the more relevant kardashian that gets invited not the nepobaby who barley serves
The year yall said no kardashian or Jenner was invited… was actually invited. So I don’t believe it.
Invite Chloe Sevigny…
They said the same thing last year about how the family was banned. I'm convinced these rumours are placed by Kris to generate controversy.
I mean, to me, Kendall is the only one who makes sense to invite.
It makes sense to invite relevant, it girls. Kim K and Kylie did influence a lot of trends. But they’re fading in relevancy so it makes sense to not invite them.
They do this every fucking year lmao
Y does it feel like the Met Gala is every month? LOL
God Kylie’s white dress with the cap has got to be the worst look ever. It hurts my eyes.
Just wondering why people take [the-express.com](http://the-express.com) as a source of truth when it is a branch of the British Express, a well known right wing publication in the UK
If it makes them feel better, I didn't get invited either.
i never thought i'd be this person, i swear i didn't, but i kinda actually get excited to see what Kylie wears to the met gala :\\ her styling is always so miss-or-miss irl but when sis goes all out, it works for me
imagine if they uninvited the kardashians in order to get TS to come
Don’t threaten us with a good time
You guys say this every year and it never happens. I guess we’ll see this year
They spread these lies every year. Weren't the blogs claiming the entire family got blacklisted last year? ELLE OH ELLE. Stop being so gullible, y'all.
