Kim Kardashian's Ingenious Maneuver to Regain Met Gala Entry: A Tribute to Lagerfeld's Feline Legacy
In a surprising turn of events, Kim Kardashian, the 42-year-old reality TV star and entrepreneur, found herself edged out of the Met Gala guest list, only to claw her way back in through an ingenious tactic that involved the late designer Karl Lagerfeld's famed feline, Choupette.
Earlier reports by The National ENQUIRER revealed that Kardashian was initially dropped from the guest list of the ultra-glamorous event in favor of Lagerfeld's 11-year-old Burmese cat, Choupette. The feline was not just a pet to the iconic designer who passed away in 2019, but also a significant part of his legacy, even inheriting millions from him.
Recognizing Choupette's importance, celebrities such as Jared Leto and Doja Cat turned up at the Met Gala dressed in homage to the fashionable feline. However, Kardashian had a different approach to claw back into the high-profile event.
The reality TV star took to the skies and jetted off to Paris to meet the famous feline. She shared her visit on social media, showcasing her affection for Lagerfeld's beloved companion. This strategic move was evidently successful as she was seen making her grand appearance at the Met Gala dressed in a stunning Schiaparelli gown.
Kardashian's sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, also managed to secure last-minute invitations to the event, despite Vogue editor-in-chief and Met Gala organizer, Anna Wintour, reportedly considering the reality TV family as not quite fitting the event's high-fashion standards.
Kardashian's strategic maneuver to regain her Met Gala entry spotlights the reality star's savvy understanding of the celebrity world, all the while paying tribute to Lagerfeld's feline legacy in a unique manner.
Kim Kardashian's Unwavering Courtside Support for Tristan Thompson Amid Controversy
Kim Kardashian, the SKIMS founder, turned heads at a recent LA Lakers game as she unflinchingly showed support for Tristan Thompson, her sister Khloe's ex-boyfriend, amidst his ongoing paternity scandal.
Kim, 42, sported a white Jack Nicholson T-shirt and black leather pants, exuding a stylish, street-chic vibe. Seated courtside with her daughter North, who wore a trendy black-and-yellow biker jacket, Kim held up a homemade sign cheerfully emblazoned with Thompson's name. The bold show of support came on the heels of Thompson's recent contract signing with the Lakers.
The game saw Thompson compete against the Golden State Warriors in Game Six of the 2023 NBA Western Conference Semi-Finals. Also present at the game was Kendall Jenner, Kim's sister, along with her current partner, Bad Bunny. Kendall turned heads with a leggy miniskirt, a snug white tank top, and eye-catching knee-high boots.
Thompson's relationship history with the Kardashian clan, primarily Khloe, has been fraught with controversy. Despite their off-and-on romance resulting in two children - a daughter, True, four, and a son, Tatum Robert - the couple's relationship was marred by Thompson's infidelity.
It was revealed that Thompson fathered a child, a boy named Theo, with another woman, Maralee Nichols, 31, while he and Khloe were still together. The news surfaced unbeknownst to Khloe, who had been encouraged by Thompson to continue their surrogacy journey for their second child.
The revelation of Thompson's third child came in the wake of a successful embryo transfer in November 2021. Nichols subsequently gave birth to Theo in December 2021. Initially, Thompson denied paternity but confirmed in January 2022 on Instagram that he was indeed Theo's father. He also expressed his intention to co-parent with Nichols.
In the aftermath of the scandal, Thompson publicly apologized to Khloe, whom he had cheated on multiple times before, even during her pregnancy with their daughter, True, in 2018. Despite the tumultuous history, Khloe has consistently supported Thompson, even lauding him as the 'best father' on his 32nd birthday in March.
Kim's courtside support for Thompson at the Lakers game underscores the family's complex dynamics and their ability to navigate and support each other amidst personal controversies.
