Just before this year’s Met Gala, Page Six said that Anna Wintour had told everyone privately that selfies were “banned” at this year’s Met Gala. Wintour had arranged for a documentary film crew to take the official video of this year’s event, and Wintour wanted to hold on to that exclusive. Word was that Wintour also hates the culture of selfies and everyone posting photos from HER exclusive event. Of course, many, many Met Gala guests broke the “no selfie” rule, including Madonna, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and many, many more. So, will there be hell to pay?
You’d think that anyone who has seen The Devil Wears Prada would know not to tick off Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour – but for some stars at this year’s Met Gala, the urge to snap selfies was just too strong to resist, irrespective of the potential consequences. Before last week’s star-studded event, Ms. Wintour made the controversial decision to ban sharing inside photos on social media, however though certain A-listers couldn’t resist posing for a few personal pictures and posting them on Instagram.
And the Vogue boss is not happy about it. According to VH1?s The Gossip Table, Ms. Wintour is deciding exactly what punishment to dole out to the celebrity rule-breakers – and it may mean next year’s Met Gala will be a Kardashian-free zone.
‘Anna is very aware of all the celebrities who ignored her request,’ an insider told the VH1 show. ‘She does not know what she’s going to do yet but she’s deciding.’
Another source added Anna asked all of the attendees in question to take down the offending photos in the next 24 hours, or they won’t be invited back to the glam gala. That leaves stars including Kim, her little sister Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, Madonna, Kerry Washington, and Lily Collins with just hours left to scrub their accounts of the evidence if they want a shot at returning next year.

If it was just one or two celebrities defying Nuclear Wintour, I would say go ahead and make an example of them and “ban” them. But so many celebrities were posting selfies before during and after the gala and it just seems rather pointless to “punish” them. I mean, most of these celebrities have social media accounts just for this kind of thing – to brag about their swag, to show their fans cool behind-the-scenes photos, etc. Although I will say this… there are a lot of people who believe that Anna should do “something” about the reality show people at the Met Gala. I personally don’t mind that Kim Kardashian was there and Kendall Jenner has been featured in Vogue. But there was no reason for Kris Jenner to be there.
