Anna Wintour may have lifted her Kim Kardashian ban for Met Ball Rumour has it Anna Wintour has permitted Kim Kardashian to attend this year's Met Ball as a guest of her boyfriend Kanye West, who is performing at the event. It won't come as a surprise that Anna Wintour doesn't suffer fools, especially when they are famous for a homemade blue movie and come from a family in which every female is inexplicably initialled with a double K. No prizes for guessing who that is. IN PICTURES: The fashion pack at the Costume Institute Gala Wintour has reportedly been vocal about her dislike for Kim Kardashian, saying that the reality star would score a Vogue cover "over her dead body," snubbing her at Paris Fashion Week, and supposedly banning her from last year's Met Ball, despite the fact her boyfriend, Kanye West, was attending as a star guest. Deemed the pinnacle of the fashion calendar, the Met Ball attracts the cream of the crop, from designers to models, actresses and singers, all of whom are carefully selected. Kim K doesn't fit into any of those categories, but now that she is kindly carrying Kanye's - who is performing at this year's event - heir apparent, Wintour's ban doesn't stand. "Kanye West and Kim Kardashian will both be attending the Met Gala in NYC on May 6," a fashion insider tells Life & Style . Because Kanye is performing he was allowed to invite her. We would love to be a fly on the wall when Kanye introduces them to one another. Brrr.
