Her outfit was completed with several long silver necklaces and turquoise and silver earrings. Adding a pop of colour, North's hair featured various shades of blue, styled into long braids that reached her hips.

Kim opted for a daring look, donning a long bodycon dress and matching oversized fedora. Kim complemented her look with several diamond necklaces cascading down her chest and matching drop earrings.

While North may be more than welcome at the star-studded event, her father Kanye is reportedly banned from ever returning to the annual fundraiser.

Anna Wintour, Vogue editor-in-chief and Met Gala chair, has reportedly gone all out to ensure the disgraced rapper and his wife Bianca Censori don't gate-crash the party following the couple's stunt at the Grammy Awards earlier this year.

Biographer Amy Odell has revealed that the 'militant' host Anna has a firm grip on every detail of the guest list, determining who's 'in' and who's 'out. '.

Kanye hasn't received an invite since 2022, following Met Gala director Anna's decision to sever ties with him due to his anti-Semitic outbursts. Even prior to this, Kanye was known for regularly missing the Met Gala - his last appearance was back in 2019 alongside his then-wife Kim.

Earlier this year, Kanye hinted at potentially gatecrashing the Met Gala 2025 when he posted a sketch on X showing a figure dressed in gloves and boots.

Radar Online recently reported that Anna is taking the situation seriously, citing an insider who said: 'Anna is not messing around. There's a full protocol in place if Kanye is spotted anywhere near the carpet.

'It's not just about the outfit – it's about the chaos he brings. After what happened at the Grammys, no one's taking chances." The source further stated: 'Anna has made it clear – no drama on her carpet. '.

A number of high-profile names dropped out of the star-studded event earlier this evening, with newly single Jennifer Lopez breaking her run of appearing on the famous red carpet. According to the Daily Mail, the mum-of-two is busy working on her new film Office Romance with Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein in the New Jersey area instead.

and his wife were rumoured to be attending at the in New York this evening, though it has now been claimed that they have pulled out of the event despite originally planning to.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, made a last-minute decision to pull out of the star-studded event over the weekend, choosing to stay put in the UK instead. This homebound choice is believed to be linked initially to David Beckham's landmark 50th birthday celebrations.

David was surrounded by a celebrity-laden crowd on Saturday night at his bash. Yet it is understood that both Brooklyn and Nicola were notably missing, and seemingly from other festivities commemorating David's milestone too, fuelling rumours of ripples in the family dynamic.

Despite speculation that the young couple might show up at the esteemed Met Gala in New York tonight, it seems they had no such intention, with reports suggesting that his family was "always" in the loop about not attending the high-profile fashion fête.

While Brooklyn and Nicola are familiar faces at past events thrown by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, donning their chicest outfits, sources now state that they've opted out of participating in this year's soiree, set under the theme 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'.

An insider revealed to the Sun: "They cancelled plans to attend the Met because they really intended to be at David's party on Saturday. But Brooklyn is really upset that blame for the rift has been levelled at Nicola. She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive - she's a loyal wife."
