Kardashian, along with her husband, Kanye West, and their daughter, North, were spotted all over the Big Apple this weekend gearing up for Anna Wintour's famously over-the-top fete at the Met, starting with a late-night fitting at a glamourous downtown hotel.
“Kim flew in for secret midnight fittings at a luxurious penthouse at the SoHo Grand at midnight on Saturday,” said a source who saw Kardashian's handlers lugging Givenchy shopping bags in and out of the hotel.
It was in 2013 that Kardashian arrived at the Met Ball wearing her infamous Givenchy “couch dress” — a curve-hugging showstopper that instantly became one of history’s greatest fashion fails.
We're told that Kardashian and the crew returned to the SoHo Grand on Sunday for a second midnight fitting to put the final touches on this year's gown.
“It's too much of a spectacle for them to come and go during the day,” said our insider.
Also in attendance was Kanye West's longtime buddy Riccardo Tisci, making sure the “Stronger” singer's hemlines and inseams were perfect for Monday night's party. Even 2-year-old North West did her best to look like a princess this week.
“North West was in Long Island City looking for princess costumes,” says a source on the Island who saw the toddler leaving a Toys R Us on Sunday with “with several huge bags,” along with her “nanny or assistant or whatever kind of entourage celebrity toddlers have.”
Though Kim and Kanye keep an apartment in SoHo, our spies saw them stop in there only for a quick photo shoot over the weekend. The family and their lackeys opted instead to stay at the Waldorf Astoria hotel, we’re told. A source there explained that “Kim likes room service — she's a hotel girl.”
We’re also told that “jaws dropped” at the high-end inn when Kim and Kanye checked into the suite where Paris and Nicky Hilton were raised.
