Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, were notably absent as numerous celebrities graced the renowned stairs of the 2024 Met Gala.
West, previously a regular attendee with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, reportedly chose to prioritize his relocation from his Los Angeles property rather than attending the event over 2,000 miles away. Meanwhile, Kardashian stole the spotlight with her petite corset dress, accentuating her slender waist.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, the rapper known for “Vultures 1” and his wife did not make an appearance at this year’s Met Gala due to their ongoing efforts to move out of their Los Angeles mansion.
Recent sightings showed movers outside their Hidden Hills home, loading heavy exercise equipment and a pingpong table onto a large truck, leading fans to speculate about the state of their marriage.
West’s last appearance on the Met Gala stairs was in 2019, and he has not been invited to the event since 2022. This exclusion reportedly stems from Met Gala director Anna Wintour’s decision not to collaborate with him further, following a series of anti-Semitic remarks he made.
A spokesperson for Vogue Magazine informed Page Six at the time that the publication and its editor-in-chief had no intention of working with the rapper in the future, citing his controversial statements and behavior towards the magazine’s editor, Karefa-Johnson.
Kanye West’s Ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, Stole The Show
The former spouse of the “Gold Digger” rapper had no qualms about attending the evening’s affair and commanded attention in her petite corset dress, accentuating her remarkably cinched waist.
Kardashian’s silver custom gown for the 2024 Met Gala was a creation from Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano. She complemented her recently dyed platinum blond locks with a relaxed mermaid braid and topped off her ensemble with a grey shrug.
As a familiar presence at the event hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the reality star effortlessly showcased her signature style.
