Kim Kardashian finally made the cut.
The reality star scored a coveted ticket to Anna Wintour's
Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last night,
a year after being dissed by the Vogue editrix.
Scandal-scarred Tiger Woods and skier gal pal Lindsay Vonn also
made the list of celebrities, designers and socialites walking the
red carpet for the $25,000-a-head "Fashion Oscars."
The pregnant Kardashian - whom sources said was shut out in 2012
after Wintour decreed she "didn't fit the bill" - apparently made a
better impression at a Sunday dinner with beau Kanye West at
Wintour's Manhattan apartment.
Kardashian tweeted a pic of herself in a Prada dress on the "date
night."
Asked on her way in if Kardashian and West would show, Wintour
gushed, "Of course! We're excited!"
West had been rumored to be this year's musical entertainment.
Beyonc was the honorary chairwoman.
In the hours before to the bash, Nicki Minaj, a guest of Tommy
Hilfiger, tweeted a pic of a $37,000 Rolex the designer sent her,
saying, "Oh, gee, thx Tommy."
Vanessa Redgrave came with daughter Joely Richardson and
granddaughter Daisy, all wearing rings that belonged to her late
daughter, Natasha Richardson.
"Natasha loved coming to the Met," Redgrave said.
Other guests included Jennifer Lawrence, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah
Jessica Parker, Julianne Moore and Jessica Alba.
Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl Kate Upton, who last year
was roasted for her liquid-gold dress, went back for seconds last
night, sitting with style icon Diane von Furstenberg.
Korean pop sensation Psy, of "Gangnam Style" fame, also rated an
invite, courtesy of gala sponsor Samsung.
