The Met Gala is going down tonight, so most of the stars and celebrities attending this year’s gala have already arrived in New York. I’m including photos of Taylor Swift out and about on Sunday, as well as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, also out and about on Sunday. It’s being said that Kim was so hellbent on losing the pregnancy weight just for this reason, to look skinny for the Met Gala. As for Taylor, she’s the co-chair this year.
So… all of the Taylor-Kanye drama is going to go down at the Met Gala, basically. This will be the first time that they’re in the same room or at the same event since all of the stupid drama went down in February, which is when Kanye dropped The Life of Pablo and the song “Famous,” about how he made “that bitch” Taylor Swift famous. Kanye later claimed that Taylor approved of the lyric but Taylor’s people always said that she didn’t know about it. Basically, I’m going to be writing about Taylor and Kanye for the rest of the week, I’m absolutely sure.
What else is going on for the Met Gala? We’re getting a better idea of who will in attendance. Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady will NOT be there. Kristen Stewart will be there, likely representing her Chanel contract. Taylor Swift is bringing Selena Gomez (not Calvin Harris) as her date. Emma Stone is attending, as are Lady Gaga, Dakota Johnson, Lily Collins, Saoirse Ronan, Kate Bosworth, Jessica Chastain and Alicia Vikander (likely still representing Louis Vuitton). Jennifer Lawrence is not confirmed, although I could see how she might surprise people and turn up. Also: Maria Sharapova will be attending. Awkward! This will be Maria’s first major public event since she tested positive for a banned substance. Oh, and Elizabeth Olsen will be attending, and it’s looking like Tom Hiddleston will definitely be there too. Cough.
A note about our Met Gala coverage: we’ll be starting bright & early Tuesday morning and we’ll have wall-to-wall fashion posts throughout the day, like always. Come and check us out!

answer: probably because Beyonce won’t be there and these two need attention.
Can we acknowledge Taylor’s new grunge look? I can’t believe I actually miss her Betty homemaker look. At least that looked authentic. She tries so hard to be cool but I would like her better if she would just try to be her nerdy, aggressive self and own it.
I sort of think she looks cute? But I love grunge styles.
Yes, I also like this new look. I like seeing her clearly evolve in style. Too bad, I don’t actually like her.
I like the change from cutesy princess drag she was doing a few years back, and way better than the sexy-twee she was doing for a while with teeny tiny skirts.
Mostly I am just excited to see her in a different shade of lipstick.
Every time I see her now I think Taylor Momsen is making a comeback.
YES!!
that good vibes printed on the boob pocket made me think of the sex toy shop–that would be an interesting 180 in terms of personal style.
lol nerdy & agressive self. hahahha NAS!
My gawd. Kim looks always so inappropriately dressed whatever the circumstances are or wherever she is.
Taylor Swift playing Grunge Barbie looks terrible, she doesn’t have the edge to pull it off.
yikes – it looks so totallyl trailer trash
She’s still wearing long coats to cover her proudest ASSet. What’s up with that?
The high waisted skirt doesn’t do Kim any favors.
I agree! Isn’t that kind of a granny style? High waist up to boobs!!
I think we can all blame Kanye for her absolutely atrocious fashion sense the last few years, because before that it was somewhat decent.
@Mgsota – high waisted styles have come and gone and I don’t think it looks good on anyone!
I imagine there will always be a fair amount of tension in the air when these two are in the same room. But I think Kanye has milked every drop out of this event. It happened in ’09, let it end already.
Bleached hair, don’t care.

If Taylor follows tradition, she will be greeting guests Anna. So she’s definitely going to meet up with Kanye at some point. I wonder what the theme that everyone will ignore is.
Looked it up yesterday. Would try to explain it, but here is an explanation from a website (not sure which one and don’t care which one):
The Costume Institute’s new exhibit is entitled Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology (sigh), and will explore the blurring line between man- and machine-made fashion.
So we’ll see. Maybe all the see through dresses will disappear this year.
Ew, that’s a terrible theme. That sounds like a theme from the future obsessed years of ’99-’01
Kim’s outfit… MY EYES!!
I tend to think of it as his drama, not ‘theirs.’ After all, it’s Kanye who thirsts for her attention and continuously comes after her. This is all him and his mental issues.
I have to agree; I mean he keeps going back to it she really doesn’t need to deal with it anymore and let’s be real as sad as it is Kayne does need Taylor for attention now. He shouldn’t but he does.
I am starting to think that Tom Brady and Gisele have a pattern.
When Tom’s career is fine, the marriage works and they don’t have a problem showing their happiness to the world. However, when Tom’s professional life has a few setbacks, the marriage is in trouble and they hide.
I remember the rumors about marriage problems appeared in the middle of Deflategate. He definitely did not take this suspension well.
Also, if a Kanye – Taylor beef is the most anticipated thing at the Met Gala then it is just sad. And let’s not forget who will capitalize on the entire anticipation and gossip: the greatest entrepreneur of all time – Kim K.
She’ll be in the bathroom taking nude selfies again soon as the first word is uttered. She’s praying something does happen so she’ll have an excuse.
Can I just say that I’m shocked that kim just doesn’t Lipo the baby weight away. I mean I don’t think she needs to, I think women putting all that pressure to get back to pre baby is to much but since kim is apparently obsessed with it, and has zero problem with massive plastic surgery evidenced by her face I’m shocked she just doesn’t get Lipo.
There are limits to what lipo can do. It’s not a “slim down all around” technique, and I am pretty sure she has had it done in the obvious spots – like her belly, which is way flatter than most women after giving birth. (I know some recover very fast but look at her legs – those are not the legs of a super slim woman who would revert to afloat stomach in a few months. ) The rest of the outfit is incredible trash, he looks as zombie-fied as ever…
I like Tay’s new look, she is changing things up a bit. Personally I would style her very differently, with dark hair and a 40s – 50s glam vibe, She would look great in retro fashions with some classical movie star makeup. Many people hated her Wildest Dreams video but I loved her look in that, I thought it suited her perfectly.
Excellent point I didn’t think about the limits- when it comes to the K family i forget about that as it feels like they have no limits even if surgeries do.
Honestly WHO CARES? Both are successful in their careers. Kim will make yet one more unfortunate wardrobe choice. The “drama” is the media trying to rewrap old, old, old news to sell papers and get clicks. Let it go. The Met gala is tired enough as it is.
I usually find Taylor’s look pretty boring. I like this blond on her though.. Gives some personality. A nice change!
I kind of dig it too. It’s grown on me.
I gotta say I’m enjoying Swift’s new look, very 90’s.
Of course something will go down. And Taylor will have her whole squad present to defend her honor. Aren’t like they all going to be there? Gigi, Selena, Karli etc. not to mention her countless other friends. It’s like high school all over again.
Honestly believe if something goes down it will be on Kanye’s part as he is the one who has been perpetuating the whole thing.
Yes, they’ll start some manufactured drama and make some extra $$$.
Wut da faq is Kim wearing?!?!?!?
I’m surprised tom and Gisele aren’t going. Anyone know why? She’s been in NYC doing press for her new book and she still has a Chanel contract but I guess Chanel has an event in Cuba that Gisele is booked for.
Plain and simple, Swift set Kanye up. As crazy as he is, I gotta believe him when he said they talked about the lyrics. That producer from the Grammys let the cat outta the bag during his pre-Grammy interview by stating Taylor KNEW about the lyrics.
I’ll be sure to tune in between tasks!
Kim I think has ruined her body with surgery and extreme diet antics. There was a rumor some celebs get unecessary lap bands to lose weight. I hope she begins to realize that she’s fine as is but it will never happen. She’s going to feel terrible tonight and I actually have a little sympathy for her.
The sunglasses… Cool.
LEGS (Hiddleston, for those who don’t regularly follow his posts) is there with 6’3″ plus heels Elizabeth Debecki. He looks great in white tie and black tails, but has to stand on the step above her to be taller. Probably not the norm for him!
