Anna Wintour Says No to Vivienne Westwood Statue Planned for Met Ball

She gets what she wants

None

Vivienne Westwood is the latest person to feel the wrath of Anna Wintour. Apparently a 40-foot styrofoam nude statue of Westwood was going to be in the center of this year's Costume Institute Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The statue would honor the fact that Westwood is known for being the main influence of the punk movement, coinciding with the museum's "Punk: Chaos To Couture" exhibition this year. However Wintour decided it would not be shown, describing it as a "needless distraction." Maybe we'll hear some strong words during the event's red carped live streamed online.
