Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have arrived at the 2023 Met Gala honoring late designer Karl Lagerfeld, each in their own glamorous way. Scroll down for all the details on their outfits.
Only three out of the five Kardashian sisters attended the Met Gala tonight after a report claimed that none of the Kardashian-Jenners would be invited to the prestigious Upper East Side event. Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian missed this year's ball, while Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner attended.
The other possibility is that Khloé did not attend because she was not invited back to the Met Gala this year. The reality TV star attended for the first time last year along with Kim, Kourtney (also a first-time attendee), Kylie, Kendall, and Kris.
Why is the Met Gala so secretive? Celebrities who go to the Met Gala are banned from taking any social media photos from inside the event. The rule apparently came into play because as it was, guests were spending too much time on their phones and not being present for the high-brow evening.
The entire cast of "Friends" have never made Met Gala red-carpet appearances. Somehow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Matthew Perry have never attended the event.
The video was actually created using the “crying filter”, as part of a viral trend on the TikTok platform (the hashtag has over 23 million views and counting), which distorts faces in a way that makes them look like they're doing a dramatic ugly cry.
It may seem mind-boggling that in 2023, the Kardashians are finally starting to lose popularity, but astrology proves that the Kardashian's retreat from the spotlight is just as much written in the stars as their rapid rise to fame was.

While the gala might be a charity event, and primarily about raising funds, that doesn't mean just anyone gets to attend. Since 1995, the guest list has been carefully presided over byVogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and this year is no different.
And apparently, his decision to skip the event had everything to do with not wanting to run into Olivia Wilde and Emily Ratajkowski. The Daily Mail spoke to a source who said, “Harry was invited to the Met Gala, but knowing that both of them were definitely going, he avoided it like it was the bubonic plague.”
No MET Gala, but many other special moments this time, with NBA game also in the list. Suga and Jimin were not the only K-pop stars rumoured to attend the event, the only one who made an appearance was Blackpink's Jennie.
Just because you receive an invitation does not mean you don't have to pay to get in. Tickets are more than $52,000 (US$32,000). Many celebrities who attend don't pay for their own ticket. Instead, the entry cost and costumes are bankrolled by major fashion houses.
Anna Wintour has run the Met Gala since 1995, shaping it into the much-loved annual celebration of fashion we know today.
Corey stressed that the power of the Kardashians isn't on decline, but in transition. The family still, she notes, has a total of a billion followers on Instagram – more than 10 percent of the global population – not to mention billions of actual dollars. “They've got the capital,” Corey explained.
It took forever for the Kardashians to be invited to the Met Gala, but for the past few years, their attendance at the annual fashion event has been pretty much guaranteed. In fact, last year, every single one of them showed up—including Khloé Kardashian.
'Kendall and Kylie have different contracts,' Khloé replied, explaining the youngest pair's absence on the show. 'Kourt, Kim and I have an equal contract. ' The model was 11-years-old while her make-up mogul sister was just 10-years-old when the show premiered in 2007.
The relationship is reciprocal: Couples also love the Met Gala, probably because it's one high-profile event where red carpet interaction is minimal. But the relationship is toxic — couples who debut their relationships at the Met Gala often don't make it beyond its glitzy barricades. Call it the Met Gala curse.
“Kylie's pregnant and it's a lot to take on, going to such a public event,” the insider explained, adding that attending an event like the Met Gala takes a ton of effort and energy.

"A celebrity can be as involved or uninvolved as they want in choosing and designing their Met Gala looks," Jordan explained. "Celebrities, for the most part though, hire stylists to spearhead the project and put their trust in them.
However, anyone who rocks up must be over the age of 18. Confirmation of this rule came in 2018 after Maddie Ziegler announced she wasn't allowed to head along as she was only 15. In response, the event's organiser told THR: "It's not an appropriate event for people under 18."
No under 18s allowed
If you are under 18, the gates for the Met Gala would not be open for you. In 2018, the Met Gala reportedly imposed an age restriction, citing the fact that the it was 'not an appropriate event for people under 18'.
