Kim Kardashian Tardy, Anna Wintour Departs New Paris Runway Show
Kim Kardashian angered The Head of Vogue when she arrived late to Victoria Beckham’s fashion show in Paris.
Kim Kardashian was the guest of honor at Victoria Beckham’s recent Spring-Summer 2024 show in Paris. The star arrived late, pushing back the start to await her arrival. This delay seriously upset some audience members, including Anna Wintour.

Wintour was forced to leave the show before Beckham made her walk, as she was now running behind for several other shows.
Kim Kardashian was one of four Kardashian-Jenner members attending a show during Paris Fashion Week. Kim, however, was the only one to spark such an uproar.

Kardashian accompanied her mom, Kris Jenner, and was sat in the front next to Wintour. Both Kardashian and Jenner came in support of Beckham, and Kendall Jenner, who was closing the show. Kardashian was seen in a stunning purple gown and a large statement necklace.
It has been previously stated that the Kardashians typically arrive an hour late to fashion shows before “making their entrance.”
Wintour had been visibly upset before the show began. The PRs watched as she tapped her watch in their direction before the show began. Videos and clips of the interaction have begun to circulate as fans notice Wintour’s frustrations.
On social media, several accounts drew attention to the tardiness of the Kardashians. Lisa Armstrong, The UK Telegraph’s Head of Fashion, even went as far as to caption a video of Robert Downey Jr. arriving at a show with “Proper celebrities… who manage to be on time for fashion shows (along with Florence Pugh) unlike others I could mention but won’t because this is a Kardashian-free zone.”
Other sources in the fashion world have stated that the show’s delay was not due to Kardashian’s late arrival. They also stated that the delay was caused by Beckham’s team and the show would’ve gone on with or without the Kardashian, had it been ready.

Despite the tension between Kardashian and Wintour, sources claimed they chatted throughout the show and Wintour’s early departure was caused by prior engagements.
