Kim Kardashian famously walked the red carpet at the Met Gala alone for the first time in four years

And while it had been reported that husband Kanye West wouldn't attend Anna Wintour's event, it has now emerged the reason behind his snub. The Jesus Walks rapper chose to stay in Los Angeles with his two young children after being left angry with the recent photos that emerged, showing his wife on holiday in Mexico. 

According to reports, the 39 year old was left fuming with Kim Kardashian after she made headlines during her girls holiday with sister Kourtney Kardashian.

A source explained: "Kanye has helped turn Kim into a fashion icon and he feels those pictures with Kourtney have made her look cheap, damaging her brand."

“Their behaviour completely detracted from Kim’s current standing in the industry.”
Kardashian instead posed on the red carpet alone, joining her half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner inside the venue, along with top stars including Cara Delevingne, Madonna and Rihanna.

West has attended the MET Gala with Kardashian for the past three years and is fully aware how his absence will go down with organisers of the one of the most presicious bashes in fashion.
“It’s a huge deal not to attend. Turning down an invite means he might not be asked back again,” the source said. “It also risks the wrath of Anna Wintour.

“But after the year he’s had, given his breakdown after the Paris robbery and his anger over Kim’s snaps, he just didn’t feel attending the right thing to do.”
