Met Gala 2025 | Kanye West’s Met Gala Drama Sparks Beefed-Up Security – ‘Anna Wintour’s Got a Plan’

New Delhi | May 5, 2025 —As the countdown to the 2025 Met Gala begins, whispers about Kanye West’s potential presence are fueling heightened security measures at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Following the rapper’s headline-grabbing antics at the 2025 Grammys, particularly his “naked” stunt with wife Bianca Censori, the fashion world is on edge. Although West has reportedly not received an invite, his controversial behavior and unsettling social media posts have prompted Anna Wintour and the Met Gala team to prepare for any surprises.

In late April, a post on X (formerly Twitter) shared a cryptic design sketch for what West allegedly planned to wear at the event. The image, showing figures wearing KKK-inspired hoods, caused outrage, adding more fuel to concerns about the rapper’s disruptive potential at fashion’s biggest night. Sources close to Vogue reveal that Wintour, ever the vigilant fashion gatekeeper, has gone to extreme lengths to ensure no controversy spoils the evening.

A Met Gala insider revealed, “Anna is not messing around. There’s a full protocol in place if Kanye is spotted anywhere near the carpet.” Even high-level security experts have been consulted to avoid any chaos on the night. Given West’s history of making headlines for all the wrong reasons, the worry is more about the disruption he could cause than the outfit he’d wear.

Kanye West Shut Out of Met Gala, Kim Kardashian Expected to Make Grand Entrance

While Kanye’s spot at the event remains uncertain, ex-wife Kim Kardashian is expected to make her grand entrance. Known for her iconic red carpet moments, Kardashian has been a staple at the Met since 2012 and has no plans of missing this year’s event, despite her ongoing custody battle with Kanye. A source close to the SKIMS founder stated, “The last thing Kim wants is Kanye pulling a stunt and hijacking the night.”
