Rebecca Minkoff Discusses Met Gala Snub

Rebecca Minkoff, a star on The Real Housewives of New York, believes her lack of invitations to the Met Gala stems from a past encounter with Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. She recounted a 'huge mistake' made 15 years ago when she entered the same elevator as Wintour, who reportedly has a strict rule against being spoken to in elevators. Minkoff tried to engage Wintour in conversation, leading to an awkward silence that she now reflects on as the end of her relationship with the fashion icon. She mentioned that her co-star Jenna Lyons was allowed in the elevator only because they were co-hosting an event. Minkoff’s experience highlights the unwritten social protocols of high fashion, particularly regarding interactions with influential figures like Wintour. Despite her successful fashion brand, Minkoff continues to overthink the incident, joking that it might be the reason for her absence from the exclusive event.
