Fans are convinced that Anna Wintour snubbed Kim Kardashian during Victoria Beckham’s 2024 Spring/Summer fashion show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday.
In a video, the reality star, 42, arrived and sat down next to the editor-in-chief of Vogue, 73, who looked like she deliberately moved seats to avoid Kim.
However, it has been confirmed that Anna and Kim did sit side-by-side for the entire show.
Fans believed Anna’s body language indicated that she was intently ignoring the SKIMS founder after she arrived late to the star-studded show.
Anna, who was flanked by both Kim and David Beckham, was thought to have got up and moved away from Kim, by the looks of a video where Anna was nowhere in sight.
In the clip, Kim was spotted chatting to former footballer David and seemingly mouthed: ‘I feel so bad’.
Due to the video, fans speculated that Anna had snubbed the Disney star and took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to joke that it looks like Kim won’t be getting an invite to the iconic Met Gala next year.
One wrote: ‘Anna didn’t even look at her and then she moved seats?’
Another said: ‘Anna’s body language’.
‘Oh Kimberly better fix that connection with Anna,’ penned a third.
Another added: ‘Oh Kim isn’t getting that Met Gala invite back’.
‘Anna moved seats?’ questioned another.
‘Kim knew not to touch Anna’.. the way Anna turned her head to avoid eye contact the Queeennnnn!’ added another.
Page Six have since confirmed that the pair were seated next to each other for the whole show, and were photographed talking before Anna made her exit.
The shapewear mogul was joined by mother, Kris Jenner and her partner Corey Gamble.
Meanwhile David was joined by three of his children with Victoria, Harper, 12, Cruz, 18, and Brooklyn, 24, in the front row.
Next to Brooklyn sat his wife Nicola Peltz, 28, and some other famous faces invited including Pamela Anderson, Eva Longoria, Lisa Rinna, and Jenna Lyons.
It is not the first time that Kim appeared to face the ultimate fashion putdown when she was seemingly snubbed by Anna while attending the Fendi Spring 2023 show in New York City last year.
The apparent rebuff took place after the event’s finale, when Kim seemingly went to say hi to Anna – who is well known for her famously-icy demeanor – however, the magazine editor instead went to greet Sarah Jessica Parker, who was standing next to the reality star, in what many have interpreted as a clear snub.
Video of the moment was shared on TikTok, where it quickly went viral, with hundreds of users sharing their take on the awkward interaction.
The Vogue boss’s seemingly-frosty behaviour came as a surprise to many given that she and Kim appeared to have formed something of a friendship in recent years.
Anna has even bestowed upon Kim the honour of three US Vogue covers: two solo appearances in March 2022 and May 2019, and one with her then-partner Kanye West in April 2014.
Kim has also attended Anna’s iconic Met Gala multiple times, beginning in 2013, when she appeared on the red carpet while pregnant with her and Kanye’s first child, North West.
At the time, her attendance sparked something of a controversy in the fashion world, with many questioning whether the decision to invite the reality star was an indication that Anna’s once-impossibly high guest list standards had been relaxed.
Kim even addressed the debate around her invitation, tweeting: ‘I was Kanye’s plus one & so nervous! I didn’t know anyone & I’m sure no one wanted me there lol.’
In 2019, Anna spoke out about the Kardashians, specifically Kim and how her style has evolved.
‘Kim of all of them I feel has possibly changed the most. I personally admire the way she has become a little bit more minimal in the way she’s dressing, a little bit more covered,’ she said in a Vogue episode of Go Ask Anna via Complex.
When asked about the family’s style, Anna said: ‘You have to admire how they have created an empire, obviously through their personalities, and the creative genius of their mother. How they live the way they do I can’t possibly understand or fathom, living so much in the public eye, but obviously it works.’
