Fashion disaster Kim Kardashian went to great lengths to make sure she didn't disappoint fans, haters and runway layman alike at this year's Met Gala, which she has almost single handedly discredited in years past.
Kardashian, along with her husband, Kanye West, and their daughter,
North, were spotted all over the Big Apple this weekend gearing up for
Anna Wintour's famously over-the-top fete at the Met, starting with a
late-night fitting at a glamourous downtown hotel.
“Kim flew in for secret midnight fittings at a luxurious penthouse at
the SoHo Grand at midnight on Saturday,” said a source who saw
Kardashian's handlers lugging Givenchy shopping bags in and out of the
hotel.
It was in 2013 that Kardashian arrived at the Met Ball wearing her
infamous Givenchy “couch dress” — a curve-hugging showstopper that
instantly became one of history’s greatest fashion fails.
We're told that Kardashian and the crew returned to the SoHo Grand on
Sunday for a second midnight fitting to put the final touches on this
year's gown.
“It's too much of a spectacle for them to come and go during the day,” said our insider.
Also in attendance was Kanye West's longtime buddy Riccardo Tisci,
making sure the “Stronger” singer's hemlines and inseams were perfect
for Monday night's party. Even 2-year-old North West did her best to
look like a princess this week.
“North West was in Long Island City looking for princess costumes,”
says a source on the Island who saw the toddler leaving a Toys R Us on
Sunday with “with several huge bags,” along with her “nanny or assistant
or whatever kind of entourage celebrity toddlers have.”
Though Kim and Kanye keep an apartment in SoHo, our spies saw them stop
in there only for a quick photo shoot over the weekend. The family and
their lackeys opted instead to stay at the Waldorf Astoria hotel, we’re
told. A source there explained that “Kim likes room service — she's a
hotel girl.”
We’re also told that “jaws dropped” at the high-end inn when Kim and
Kanye checked into the suite where Paris and Nicky Hilton were raised.
