Met Gala 2025 Boosts Security Over Kanye West Fears

The 2025 Met Gala has significantly tightened security after Kanye West posted a controversial KKK-style outfit sketch and implied he might attend, despite not being invited. Anna Wintour, the event's chief organizer, has implemented strict protocols to prevent any disruption near the red carpet and emphasized a zero-tolerance approach to drama. The backlash to West's post was swift, with widespread condemnation of the imagery. Security measures address both the provocative nature of West's post and his history of disruptive stunts at major events. Kim Kardashian, West's ex-wife and a confirmed attendee, has further increased her own security due to anxiety about a possible encounter. Although West is not officially banned, organizers have detailed plans in place to manage any attempt by him to enter the event.
