vogue met gala

This is the special edition cover of Vogue Magazine’s “Met Gala issue”. Rihanna was chosen as the cover girl, which… I mean, I guess that makes sense. If I had editorial control of Vogue, I would have put Gong Li on the cover, probably. But Rihanna’s omelette dress was one of the most-discussed looks and Anna Wintour loves Rih-Rih.

But as soon as the cover came out, many noted that Kim Kardashian’s name wasn’t even included on the cover. What’s that about? The Daily Mail theorized that Wintour “punished” Kim for being one of the celebrities posting selfies and social media photos. And now “sources” claim Kim is “livid” that she was snubbed so publicly.

Vogue magazine’s 2015 Met Gala Special Edition, on stands now, features a cover photo of Rihanna, alongside of a list of several celebrities’ names, including Kardashian’s 19-year-old model half-sister Kendall Jenner, as well as Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence, George and Amal Clooney, Derek Jeter, Jennifer Lopez, FKA Twigs and Robert Pattinson, and Lady Gaga.

But Kardashian didn’t warrant a mention, and sources say she wasn’t happy about it.

“Kim lives for Vogue and has been obsessed with it forever,” an insider tells Radar. “The fact that they didn’t even mention her on the cover is hilarious, considering she tried so hard to be exactly what she thought Anna Wintour would want for the Met Gala.”

But perhaps the internet-breaking mother to one-year-old North West tried too hard, as the source says, “Kim’s sister Kendall getting a mention on the cover over her is a huge slap in the face! She’s livid.”

Yeah, I don’t actually believe that Kim “tried so hard” to be Met Gala appropriate. She didn’t follow the theme and she just recycled a look that Beyonce wore a few years ago. But sure, I bet Kim is “livid”. I bet Kanye is yelling at Anna Wintour as we speak.
