Vogue is known to be very secretive about its guest list for the gala, but Page Six revealed Kim Kardashian made the cut along with at least one of her superstar siblings, despite earlier reports that she and her famous family might not be invited this year.
The Post also confirmed Lagerfeld’s beloved cat, Choupette, got her paws on an invite; “It’s an event in honor of the legacy of Karl, and Choupette is obviously a central part of the legacy,” the fluffy feline’s agent told us.
