Ice Spice is doing it up and doing it big. It was just announced via TMZ that the Bronx rapper will be attending tonight’s Met Gala. Not only that, she will be attending as a special guest of Anna Wintour herself. It is a huge honor for the rapper as many don’t ever get the honor of being a special guest of the person who controls the entire event. TMZ has also reported that the hitmaker will be wearing a custom-designed Balmain look.
Ice is everywhere these days. She is one of the latest viral sensations who is experiencing a huge amount of fame due to TikTok. Last year, she dropped her acclaimed EP, Like..?. Since then, Ice has been hailed as the new princess of rap. She has been praised by contemporaries and even given the co-sign by industry legends like Nicki Minaj. The duo recently released their collaboration, “Princess Diana.” The song was originally part of Ice’s EP, but Nicki hopped on the remix with a killer verse. This catapulted the song to the number 4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

Last night, Ice Spice posted a teaser video that hinted she would be attending the Met Gala. “Hi, It’s Ice Spice and I’m partnering with Vogue and eBay for a very special announcement coming to you on the first Monday in May,” Ice says in the video. “Join me for fashion’s biggest night out. You do not want to miss this. Stay tuned.” Fans were quick to point out just how big of a deal it was for someone as new to the scene as Ice to get invited.
“Ice Spice went from being dismissed as a meme and a ‘one hit wonder’ with Munch, but now she has 2 Top 10s and has 3 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at once, & also being invited to the met gala with NO ALBUM OUT,” one fan tweeted. “As an og fan, proud is an understatement of how i feel right now.” Another said, “Ice Spice isn’t just invited to the met gala my girl is getting SPONSORED by VOGUE. She has direct lines with Anna Wintour.” Clearly, as evidenced by the new report by TMZ, Ice will be in attendance. Stay tuned to HNHH for more Met Gala news and coverage!

At just nine years old, North West has a resume that some adults can only dream of. The young fashionista is certainly afforded with plenty of opportunities thanks to her nepo baby status, but that doesn’t mean the world hasn’t enjoyed watching every one of her creative endeavours. In the past, she’s been on stage with stars like Sia and Katy Perry, as well as her dad, Kanye West, and she’ll even be making her feature film debut alongside her mom in the coming months. Aside from all of that, speculation is now brewing that North will be in attendance at tonight’s (May 1) annual Met Gala.
Earlier this year, reports claimed that none of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters will be walking the red carpet for the 2023 event. Kim shut that down a few days ago with an Instagram post detailing her costume-choosing process. Now, she’s been hanging out in New York City with North. Rather than her famous siblings, the SKIMS founder brought Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, along for the trip to care for his daughter, Penelope. Cameras caught the family members on Saturday (April 29), all wearing beautiful Chanel outfits while adventuring through the Big Apple.
It remains unclear if we’ll be seeing the Kardashian cousins along with hundreds of other famous faces at Anna Wintour’s function this evening, though they’re obviously still getting in on the Karl Lagerfeld couture fun. Penelope’s mom only attended for the first time in 2022, though Kim has been a staple since first attending with Ye in the early days of their relationship. It remains unclear which fashion house she’ll be wearing later tonight, though the double C’s on her weekend outfit may be an indication of what’s to come.
Others who have already confirmed their attendance include Rihanna, who took over NYC in a fuzzy Chanel outfit on Saturday, as well as Ice Spice, who’s being dressed by Balmain for her big debut. Who are you hoping to see at this evening’s Met Gala? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Doja Cat has been all over the place lately. Between her Twitter rants, Instagram lives, public appearances, and guest spots, it’s been impossible to escape her. It looks like there may be a reason for that. According to what fans have deduced from Doja’s latest tweets, her new lead single may be coming in about a month. The multihyphenate’s last album, Planet Her, was released in 2021 to critical and commercial success. It produced hit singles like “Woman,” “Need To Know,” and “Get Into It (Yuh).”
After her latest public appearance, it seems that fans have been having a little too much fun with Photoshop. At least, according to Doja, they have. She took to her Twitter to post about her distaste for the latest fan edits. “Saw somebody edit hair onto my head for this look i did last night,” she tweeted, “and it made me mad so i wanted to let them know they should be making money instead.” She then went on to say that she would be leaving Twitter for the next 4 weeks and would only come back when her lead single drops. This led fans to theorize that Doja unintentionally announced the release date of the track. It’s still unclear if this is accurate. Since Doja is taking a social media break, we likely won’t know until right before the drop.
Doja did take to Instagram to post a new look at what could be her Met Gala look for this year. However, the picture provided very little insight into what she will be wearing. Many celebrities are gearing up for the event, which takes place later tonight. Doja has already been spotted in New York City, where it takes place. The theme for this year’s Met Gala is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” which is a tribute to the late designer’s incredible body of work. If Doja’s recent red carpet looks are anything to go off of, the final look will be out of this world.
Doja turned heads at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year for her otherwordly Schiaparelli look. The singer was painted crimson to match her dress and covered in thousands of red crystals. It was a bold choice that garnered much acclaim from fashion industry icons and fans alike. As such, it’s likely we can expect another outlandish, fashion-forward look from the singer tonight. Who are you most looking forward to seeing at the Met Gala? Let us know in the comments!
Ice Spice teased a new partnership with Vogue and eBay in honor of the Met Gala in a video posted to social media on Sunday night. The New York rapper kept the details to a minimum but advised fans to keep a lookout for more information on Monday.
“Hi, It’s Ice Spice and I’m partnering with Vogue and eBay for a very special announcement coming to you on the first Monday in May,” she says in the clip. “Join me for fashion’s biggest night out. You do not want to miss this. Stay tuned.”
While the video doesn’t explicitly confirm that Ice Spice will attend the Met Gala, fans are excited at the idea. “Ice Spice went from being dismissed as a meme and a ‘one hit wonder’ with Munch, but now she has 2 Top 10s and has 3 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at once, & also being invited to the met gala with NO ALBUM OUT,” one user wrote. “As an og fan, proud is an understatement of how i feel right now.” Another tweeted, “Ice Spice isn’t just invited to the met gala my girl is getting SPONSORED by VOGUE. She has direct lines with Anna Wintour.”
This year’s Met Gala honors the late designer Karl Lagerfeld with attendees encouraged to dress “in honor of Karl.” As for who else will be in attendance, it appears that Rihanna plans to walk the iconic red carpet. She made an appearance in New York this week, stepping out for dinner. In doing so, she rocked pieces from Chanel’s fall 1994 collection, designed by Lagerfeld himself. Kim Kardashian also recently arrived in New York City for the event. More celebrities rumored to be invited include Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and more. The 2023 Met Gala is scheduled for May 1 at 6:30 PM, EDT. Be on the lookout for more coverage of the event on Monday night.

Just a few weeks ago, Jonathan Majors was undeniably one of the most envied men in Hollywood. He was constantly gracing red carpets and magazine covers while promoting projects like Creed III and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, all while entertaining audiences with his seemingly lovable persona. Unfortunately, things all came crashing down for the actor when he was arrested in late March. At the time, he allegedly got into a physical altercation with a woman he was romantically involved with.
The entertainer’s lawyers have been vehemently denying the claims coming out against him. They’ve even shared screenshots of messages from the rumoured victim. While Majors’ legal team obviously thought they were doing him a favour, many social media users argued that the “evidence” only makes him look more guilty, if anything. Things have been relatively quiet since then. However, it was announced on Monday (April 17) that he and his management team at Entertainment 306 have decided to part ways in wake of the allegations. Aside from that, his invitation to a major upcoming event has reportedly been revoked.
As Deadline reports, the 33-year-old was expected to attend the quickly approaching Met Gala. His look for the evening – which will be an homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld – was to be designed by Valentino. They’ve since “mutually agreed” with Majors that his attendance is no longer a good idea. The news is certainly disappointing for both the California native and his fans. Still, an optimistic update reveals that Marvel hasn’t yet had any conversations about dropping him from their cinematic universe.
The embattled star has already wrapped filming on the second season of Loki, which finds him bringing Kang the Conqueror to light. He’s also been cast in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but isn’t due to begin production on the project anytime soon. Are you disappointed that Jonathan Majors won’t be walking down the red carpet on the first Monday in May? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

The Met Gala, the fashion world’s most prestigious event, seems to be gearing up for a transformation this year. The gala, famous for its glamour, elegance, and creativity, has been criticized in recent years. Insiders say it’s being overrun by influencers and reality stars. Among the most famous are the Kardashians, who showed up as a pack last year, wearing some questionable outfits. According to insiders, Anna Wintour, Vogue‘s editor-in-chief, has had enough of the infamous family.
It’s argued that the Kardashians simply aren’t interesting, relevant, or A-list enough. Additionally, Wintour is rumored to be furious that Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gold dress was irreparably damaged. Although Kim lost weight to fit it, her overfilled backside made the dress impossible to fasten.
Wintour is the undisputed queen of fashion and style. Her guidance has been instrumental in shaping the Met Gala since she first took charge in 1995. Under Wintour’s leadership, the event has become an iconic and exclusive gathering. It pushes the boundaries of fashion and attracts the industry’s biggest names. The gala is known for its unique themes and Wintour’s love of creativity, style, and risk-taking.
However, in recent years, the Met Gala has seen a shift. Social media influencers, reality TV stars, and B and C listers with massive online followings have replaced real talent. The Kardashian clan is only one example. Although Kim debuted at the event in 2013, it’s commonly accepted that it was only because she was Kanye West’s plus-one. Additionally, sources close to Wintour say that even West is out now following his xenophobic and anti-Semitic statements.
However, it appears that the tide is turning. Insiders claim that Anna Wintour wants to return the event’s focus to its roots. She is prioritizing true fashion icons and established celebrities over influencers. The 2023 Met Gala’s theme, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” hints at a return to high fashion’s core values. Meanwhile, the Kardashians are adamant that this is not true. Taking to social media, momager Kris and the rest of the girls have vehemently denied these rumors. Theories run the gamut, from a PR stunt to haters spreading lies.
Although Wintour is tight-lipped about the guest list, insiders are spilling. The latest round of invite drama is that Kim is back in. However, sources swore just a week before that the Kardashians were cut from the 2023 Gala guest list. Bethenny Frankel, former Real Housewives of New York City star, weighed in on the situation. In a recent Page Six item, Frankel said that Wintour might be aiming to “class it up.” She further said that distancing the event from reality TV and social media stars is no accident.
Frankel also touched on the relationship between the fashion industry and the mega-wealthy. She suggested that money’s influence has allowed some stars to buy their way into the style spotlight. This sentiment echoes Wintour’s past statements and her focus on maintaining the integrity of the exclusive Met Gala event.
Anna Wintour’s commitment to fashion is evident throughout her career, having navigated the challenges of an ever-changing industry. In a 2019 interview with CNN, Wintour spoke about new trends. She noted how social media has transformed fashion and given her brand a larger audience. She also stressed the importance of staying true to her values, despite criticism.
By reclaiming the gala’s original mission, Wintour may be sending a message. To the fashion industry, it’s loud and clear; the event is returning to its roots. The 2023 event is a celebration of elegance, glamour, creativity, and true innovation. Fans of Wintour stress that it’s not an issue of snobbery but of having a real understanding of fashion itself.
This year’s Met Gala co-hosts reportedly include Dua Lipa, Penélope Cruz, Roger Federer, and Michaela Coel. Clearly, these are real artists, all of whom are prominent figures in their respective fields. This year’s theme will also honor the late Karl Lagerfeld’s illustrious career and his work with Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, Balmain, and more.
Of course, not everyone is a fan of Anna Wintour. Some critics have openly called her elitist and downright mean. Who can forget former Wintour assistant Lauren Weisberger’s thinly veiled tell-all, The Devil Wears Prada? Still, Vogue sources stress that the guest list is always a source of speculation and has nothing to do with Wintour throwing shade.
However, in the latest guest list upset, Karl Lagerfeld’s cat, Choupette, is now officially on the guest list. “She got the invitation,” the My Pet Agency owner said to Page Six. “It’s an event in honor of the legacy of Karl Lagerfeld. Choupette is obviously a central part of the legacy.” Choupette, a blue-cream tortie Birman, is rumored to be one of the late Lagerfeld’s heirs. The designer, who died at 85 in 2019, left an estimated $125 million fortune.
Additionally, Choupette is included in the May 2023 Vogue cover story in honor of the late designer. In a preview of the issue shared with Good Morning America, Naomi Campbell holds the fabulous feline on a Parisian bridge. Campbell is wearing a black Balmain trouser suit, white shirt, and Lagerfeld’s signature black tie. Page Six added, “The cat model looks extra fluffy in the photo as she looks straight at the camera, curling up her feet as she relaxes in the supermodel’s arms.”
With the Met Gala 2023 fast approaching, fashionistas eagerly await the drama, surprises, and style. With Wintour at the helm, this year’s gala will be the event of the year again. Hopefully, the fete will return to its old-school roots—a true reflection of the glamour and elegance that has defined high fashion for decades.
How these recent events play out, one thing is sure: the fashion world is watching closely. As Anna Wintour continues to redefine the Met Gala and, by extension, the industry, heads will roll. And, as the May 1st event approaches, suspense is mounting. All eyes will be on the red carpet to witness the return to true high fashion and, undoubtedly, a lot of extra.

The first Monday in May is still several weeks away, but already, the guest list for the upcoming Met Gala is weighing heavily on the minds of fashion lovers. Last year’s theme, America: An Anthology of Fashion, brought out plenty of interesting looks (not to mention some major misses), and 2023 is sure to bring even more. According to recent, rumours, however, this may be the first time we don’t see any of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters walk the red carpet in their designer duds.
This time around, patrons will be honouring a late designer and style icon with the Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty theme. Throughout his illustrious career, the creative designed for the likes of Jean Patou, Chloé, and Valentino. He sadly passed away in 2019 at the age of 85, having fulfilled many lifetimes worth of dreams and goals.
Due to Lagerfeld’s unbelievable archive of creations, fashion lovers are ecstatic to see which of them will resurface on the red carpet later this year. As of late, many are eager to know what this guest list looks like as well following 2022’s star-studded affair. As Page Six notes, this was the first time we saw the Kardashian-Jenner family at the Met Gala together. Previously, Kim, Kendall, and Kylie, as well as matriarch Kris Jenner were lucky enough to attend.
This time, however, Vogue‘s editor-in-chief is reportedly cracking down on her invitations and doesn’t plan on sending any to the reality starlets. Of course, there’s no official confirmation of this gossip. Additionally, there are conflicting reports from the Kardashian-Jenner’s insiders denying their banishment from the annual celebration. Last year, Kim’s Marilyn Monroe dress undeniably overshadowed some of the evening’s other major fashion moments, which could be why they’re being “punished.”
The mother of four’s first Met Gala was in 2013 when she joined Kanye West while carrying their first child. At the time, Kardashian faced no shortage of backlash and criticism, which she addressed in 2019. “I went home [and] cried of insecurity,” she wrote on Twitter. “I didn’t know anyone [and] I’m sure no one wanted me there.”
In the time since, she and her sisters have gone on to break necks in New York, wearing designs from some of the biggest names in fashion. The SKIMS founder’s incredible roster of gowns comes from names like Vivienne Westwood, Balenciaga, Balmain, and Givenchy, just to name a few. Keep scrolling to see the Kardashian-Jenner’s Met Gala serves from over the years, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
