The Simpsons Movie 2 is slated for next year. Can you believe it? This is exciting for fans of The Simpsons, and yet one can’t help but have concerns, too. The Simpsons Movie came out all the way back in 2007, and it’s not often sequels that arrive so long after the original are good. Even the first movie didn’t quite reach the comedic and dramatic heights of the beloved show in its prime, but even being as fun as the 2007 movie would be impressive at this point. Along with such unavoidable issues as the cast’s inevitable voice changes, many fewer choices for original storylines after 37 seasons, and certain characters no longer appearing on the sitcom, there are definitely some obstacles to overcome for this sequel to live up to its franchise.
This is far from a simple task, but hey—it’s not impossible! Meanwhile, the prospect of a Simpsons movie makes you wonder how certain episodes could have played on the big screen if the team had embraced the movie format in the ’90s. “Who Shot Mr. Burns” shows the writers could handle a longer narrative as early as Season 6, but that does work best as a two-parter. It would be fascinating to watch Homer hallucinate from chilis à la “The Mysterious Voyage of Our Homer,” like an irreverent Fantasia, but that would be way too niche to draw a wide theatrical crowd. Some of the series’ most memorable storylines, however, do seem like they could have been stretched out to fit a commercially viable feature film. They would need action, unique settings, high-stakes, narratives that foster meaningful character arcs, and obviously some room to goof around. When you take a closer look, some episodes might have even been improved with a longer runtime. The following episodes aren’t the only ones, but they may be the best examples of squandered opportunities at cinema gold (or cinema yellow, if you will).
The first film showed the family on a road trip for a little while, so why couldn’t the whole thing be a road movie? An underrated gem from Season 7, “Bart on the Road” would serve as an excellent vehicle (pun intended) for a feature-length narrative. Having Milhouse (Pamela Hayden), Martin (Russi Taylor), Nelson (Nancy Cartwright), and Bart (Cartwright) as the main group might have been a little off-beat, but in the refreshing way you might expect from the big screen.
Imagine all the places these kids could go and the shenanigans they would get into. The plot line where Bart gets a job as a flight attendant is definitely fun, so what if the three other boys got jobs in the hopes of finally getting home without getting caught? Meanwhile, the whole dynamic with Lisa (Yeardley Smith) and Homer (Dan Castellaneta) developing a closer bond would be a terrific storyline to explore further. Plenty of room for action, pathos, and parodies here.
“Deep Space Homer” is pretty overrated, but that doesn’t mean its premise couldn’t be re-worked into a dazzling zero-gravity screenplay. After all, The Simpsons in space? That certainly sounds like a movie, and Homer munching on floating potato chips would do wonders in the theater. But a few things would have to change, and the first would be Barney (Dan Castellaneta). The character just feels overused when he’s in a larger role.
Also, this may sound weird to say about a Simpsons plot thread, but NASA taking Homer into space sounds way too implausible to suspend disbelief. It would feel more believable if a space program with no bona fides whatsoever sent Homer into space instead. Mr. Burns (Harry Shearer) could easily fill that role, since he’s rich enough to do almost anything and evil enough to have his own reasons for exploring space without anyone else’s authority. Like traveling through space, the writers could go in as many directions as they could with this premise.
Unlike South Park, The Simpsons usually doesn’t have exaggerated large-scale conflicts where the town, the country, or the world is in imminent danger. However, a notable exception would be Season 6’s “Bart’s Comet,” which sees Bart discover a comet that’s headed straight for Springfield. The attempts to stop it are futile, and even make it impossible to leave town. All funny stuff, creating a scenario where everyone just accepts their fate.
With the scramble to get into Flanders’ bunker, there is a psychological focus on this that reminds us of one of The Twilight Zone‘s most intriguing conflicts. Insulating Springfield from the rest of the world, this story of impending doom could mirror The Simpsons Movie‘s societal breakdown—only accelerated and tense with the hope that they’ll figure out a way to stop it. The episode resolves amusingly enough, but maybe the movie would have done something that gives the characters more agency.
Admittedly, “Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington” is already such a masterful entry that the prospect of changing anything about it feels a bit like heresy. But this is all hypothetical anyway. Lisa doing so well in an essay contest that she gets to recite a speech in Washington D.C. is an excellent excuse for a fresh setting that’s just begging for political satire.
Corruption is represented by a single politician and lobbyist about to destroy a forest. But what if there were more, and what if the stakes were higher? The contest could be taking place during the general election race, for instance, and Lisa could be at the heart of a Watergate-esque scandal. That montage of people at the end who quickly learn about Lisa’s speech and promptly oust that corrupt congressman from power is incredibly swift, so that process could be longer and more complex. Meanwhile, the other Simpsons don’t do much here, so they could have subplots and arcs of their own.
Season 5’s “Boy-Scoutz ‘n the Hood” could make a great story about chaos in the wilderness: two different sets of people in two different parts of the woods. When Homer and Flanders go down one path while Ernest Borgnine‘s group head down another, they encounter totally different problems. With one group lost at sea and another in constant backwoods danger, this conflict could last weeks.
Which would provide enough time for the campers’ families to realize they’re missing and start searching for them. Since there’s nothing for Marge (Julie Kavner) and Lisa to do in that episode, they can go on their own journey to help look for the lost campers. In the meantime, that hilariously random location for that unsuccessful Krusty Burger can be merely one pit-stop on Homer’s journey home. Best of all, the writers would have to appeal to a mass audience and therefore give poor Borgnine and those campers a happy ending. The current one just doesn’t feel right.
Season 8’s “The Springfield Files” is one of The Simpsons‘s greatest mysteries. It doesn’t even have a subplot, as there is so much emphasis on the green alien that Homer supposedly encountered in the woods. After he and Bart capture the creature on video, Homer sparks a cultural phenomenon in Springfield. With all the conspiracy theories about governments covering up the existence of aliens for a long time, this could definitely be explored further in a movie.
The FBI coming to help investigate can further complicate things. Maybe they help, maybe they make things worse, maybe they have an ulterior motive. If they believe the alien theory is real and try to cover up the story, lots can be done there. Various subplots can arise from this, and Homer can have more of a character arc than the episode allows. For instance, he could become so obsessed with re-discovering or capturing the alien that he becomes isolated from his family. In any case, the eerie atmosphere and endless movie references would shore up whatever the creative team decided to do.
Season 4’s classic debut, “Kamp Krusty” was such a promising setting for a film that executive producer James L. Brooks actually wanted to make it into the first Simpsons movie. So, how did that not happen? Well, there were scheduling issues, and the writers somehow didn’t think they could come up with enough material for this. But if they had been pressed to think about it more, “Kamp Krusty” the film could have been a masterpiece.
Bart’s psychological descent is one of the things that makes this episode shine, and that process could be more gradual in a screenplay. Also, his takeover of the camp could last for a longer period before Krusty’s (Dan Castellaneta) arrival—during which the young Simpson’s fractured psyche could ironically lead him to be just as tyrannical as his predecessors. The Apocalypse Now allusions could abound here, and Lisa’s escape attempts could be expanded upon as well. Maybe Krusty hears about the uprising before the news does, and has to clandestinely restore the camp before the end of summer to save his reputation. So much potential here.
Many fans would say “You Only Move Twice” is perfect as is, and sure, they’re not wrong. But when you think about it, this actually could have been an incredible premise for a film. The Simpsons leave Springfield and move away for a new start—sound familiar? But Cypress Creek would be a better payoff than Alaska. Imagine another hour of Albert Brooks‘ hilarious dialogue as supervillain Hank Scorpio, instead of his amusing but inferior turn as the head of the EPA. Imagine another hour of James Bond parodies!
And consider this: Homer’s the only one in the family who really does something. Marge has zilch to do around the house (which is the gag, but still), Bart has no influence in the remedial class, and Lisa just gets ill. It’s concise enough for the show, but it also means they could have had much more complicated conflicts and interesting character arcs in a feature-length film. This combination of large-scale action and intimate moments of home-sickness could have struck the perfect balance of spectacle, humor, and heart that the ultimate Simpsons movie would need.

Two of Hollywood’s most enduring leading ladies have a beauty secret in common — and it’s not a $300 serum or some bespoke facialist on speed dial. Reese Witherspoon and Julianne Moore both reach for the same humble drugstore staple when packing for a flight. The cleanser sitting in their suitcases? Plain old Cetaphil, the bottle your dermatologist probably recommended back in the ’90s and is still recommending today. That pump bottle is famous to anyone who has ever battled blemishes or irritation, and while the 16-oz size is usually a reasonable $17, it’s currently discounted to $12 during Amazon’s Summer Beauty Event.
Back in 2019, Witherspoon revealed to Refinery29 that the budget-friendly product is one of her favorites. I use the face wash, and I travel with it,” she told the publication. That same year, Moore also explained why this classic earned permanent space in her toiletry kit in a Vogue Beauty Secrets video. “I travel a lot, so I need something I can get kind of all over the world. I use a pretty standard face wash, Cetaphil,” she told the camera, adding that she lathers up with an exfoliating washcloth for optimal results.
Get the Cetaphil Face Wash for $12 (originally $17) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.
The genius of two A-listers cosigning a $12 cleanser is that it confirms what good skin tells us anyway: consistency beats novelty. Witherspoon and Moore could rinse their faces with literal liquid gold if they wanted. Instead, they’re loyal to a fragrance-free formula that won’t throw a tantrum after a red-eye, a long shoot day or a week of recycled hotel-room air. That’s the kind of low-drama beauty pick that ages well, just like its famous fans.
Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Cleanser earned its dermatologist-recommended reputation by doing one thing exceptionally well: cleaning your face without wrecking it. The hypoallergenic formula skips parabens and sulfates, which is part of why sensitive, reactive and mature skin types tolerate it so beautifully. It’s also soap-free, so it won’t leave that tight, squeaky feeling that signals you’ve just stripped your moisture barrier into next week. Instead, it reinforces that barrier and balances the skin while still delivering a deep clean. Translation: makeup, sunscreen and the day’s grime go down the drain. Your glow stays put.
Aside from getting two very glamorous endorsements, the tried-and-true formula has been hyped up by Amazon shoppers, too. It’s currently rated 4.7 stars on the site, and over 30k bottles have been purchased in the past month — a number that only solidifies its cult status.
“My favorite facial cleanser ever!” one reviewer wrote. “It left my skin feeling clean and soft after one use, and I’m hooked. I use this every morning and every night before bed. No more breakouts and cleans off makeup and residue from the day!
“One bottle has lasted me over a year,” said another happy customer, who called the wash a “gentle, affordable” option. “I have oily, acne-prone skin, and since using this, I’ve gotten multiple compliments on my skin. Buy this!!!!”
If your skincare shelf is overdue for an edit, swapping in this classic feels less like a downgrade and more like a smart return to basics — something your favorite leading ladies have known for years. Whether you toss it in your weekender bag or keep it easily accessible on your bathroom counter, the Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser plays nicely with retinols and acids and currently costs less than a decent glass of wine.
Drugstore find, celebrity-approved and on sale? That’s a triple word score in beauty lover terms! Grab a bottle now!

The OG Real Housewives of New York City stars are ready for their second act — and, yes, there will be fighting involved.
Fans got a first look at Dorinda Medley, Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Kelly Bensimon in the debut Golden Life teaser, released by E! on Monday, May 4. While the reality stars moved to Florida for a more “zen” life, it seems they still have that New York spark.
The trailer showed the women writing a letter to their comrades in Manhattan, explaining how things have changed over the past few years.
“We’ve been mostly keeping quiet,” Dorinda, 61, said. “Things here move at a slower tempo.”
Sonja, 62, added, “We don’t stir things up anymore.”
Both statements appeared to be wildly untrue, as the clip teased what’s to come.

“Do not call me names,” Kelly, 58, could be heard telling Sonja at one point in the teaser. Sonja hit back, adding, “I need to get a mocktail, and in the meantime, shut up!”
Ramona, 69, also did not give up her “turtle time” — and neither did the other cast members. “Why are you lying?” she could be heard yelling repeatedly at Luann, 60, as the trailer continued.
“I went to burp and I threw up a little,” Sonja told Luann. “Do you smell it on my breath?”
Ramona also told viewers that “it’s been great meeting people our own age” before Sonja was shown talking to a much younger man.
“I can’t do 22 again; it’s exhausting. I had to teach him everything he knows,” Sonja said. “Like I don’t get on top.”
Luann made it clear to viewers that she’s living her “best life” in Florida. It appears the other women are too.
“Consider this your invitation,” they all said, concluding the trailer. While a release date was not revealed, the show is set to premiere on E! in the fall.
News broke in February that some of the OG RHONY women would be returning to TV for the Golden Life. Jill Zarin was initially set to join the cast, but she was fired shortly after the casting announcement due to her comments regarding Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show.
“I don’t speak Spanish. I would’ve liked to have known the words he was saying. To me, it looked like a political statement because there were literally no white people in the entire thing. I’m not taking a side, one way or the other,” she said, in part, in a video that has since been deleted. “I think it was an ICE thing. I think that the NFL sold out, and it’s very sad.”
Days later, producers confirmed to Us Weekly that Jill would no longer be involved with the show.
“They didn’t even give me a chance,” Jill told In Touch on February 10 about the firing. “I took it down right away. People make mistakes. I’m human.”
Anna Camp isn’t just playing a trad wife — who churns butter — on Elsbeth but her character is also being accused of murder.
In Us Weekly‘s exclusive first look at the Thursday, May 7, episode of the hit CBS show, Camp, 43, can be seen churning butter while Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) grills her about a director’s recent death. Camp’s character distracts from her possible guilt by convincing Elsbeth to join in on her trad wife activities.
According to the official synopsis, the episode —directed by Pamela Adlon — follows a case in which “an ambitious filmmaker dies in a suspicious cleaning accident.” Elsbeth then “focuses on the subject of her final documentary: a ‘trad wife’ whose from-scratch lifestyle included a deadly ingredient.”
Elsbeth, which premiered in 2024, reintroduced the title character after she originally appeared on The Good Wife and The Good Fight. The first two seasons showed Elsbeth becoming a de facto detective who assists the NYPD investigating cases. Preston stars alongside Wendell Pierce and Carra Patterson.
Season 2, however, ended with Patterson, who plays Kaya, departing the show as a series regular.
“It’s been in development since the beginning of season 2,” Preston exclusively told Us in May 2025. “We wanted to honor her and elevate her to detective. So it was very exciting when that happened for the character. Not as exciting for us though because we love Carra. I love Carra and I obviously love playing with her.”

Preston promised that wasn’t the last fans would see of Kaya, adding, “She’s still on the show — it’s just in a different capacity. It’s nice because it adds some conflict and it adds some stuff for Elsbeth to wrestle with. It’s going to deepen my character.”
During season 3, Elsbeth has been paired off with various cop characters — and detectives — before Kaya returned earlier this month.
“With Elsbeth having to deal with this person not being there who she really leans on, it’s a real testament to the writers that they did it in such a gradual and beautiful way,” Preston told Us. “It’s the good thing about Elsbeth, [she] is so positive and never met a stranger.”
The actress didn’t rule out potential “growing pains” as Elsbeth adjusts to “flying solo” in season 3, saying, “The writers have already started introducing other uniformed officers that Elsbeth really relies on to get onto the crime scene. The way our show is structured, it’s not the same detective with Elsbeth on every case.”
Preston continued, “So that always adds a little breath of fresh air as well by having different points of views and different people for her to either partner with or go head to head with in the pursuit of justice.”
More recently, Preston opened up about how the show was able to expand for its third season.
“It suddenly feels like, ‘Oh, right. The NYPD has lots of people and it’s not just this small group.’ It made the show feel in some ways bigger,” she told Us in February. “I wasn’t altogether sure how we were going to do that without it seeming like we were trying to replace Carra — and yet we did and we still get to have Carra back. It’s been the best of all worlds.”
Elsbeth airs on CBS Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

Royal expert Christopher Andersen’s new book reveals the moment Princess Kate Middleton was pushed to her “limits” with brother-in-law Prince Harry.
“The damage was done: seeds of doubt concerning the King’s chances for a full recovery had been sown,” Andersen writes in Us Weekly’s exclusive excerpt from Kate! The Courage, Grace, and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen, set to be released on Tuesday, May 5.
Anderson is, of course, referring to Harry’s May 2025 interview in which he discussed his ongoing rift with the royal family.
“I don’t know how much longer my father has,” Harry said at the time, which made Kate “more disappointed than angry,” per the excerpt.
“But William, who had already slammed the door shut on his brother over what Harry wrote in Spare, was, in the words of a courtier, ‘apoplectic’ with rage,” Andersen writes. “Now it was time to nail the door shut once and for all, and for the first time Kate, who had worked harder than anyone to mend the rift between the brothers, willingly handed her husband a hammer.”

Kate “promised” William that she “was done” with Harry after his bombshell BBC interview.
“Princess Catherine is ‘the sweetest, most loving person you could ever know,’ said a Sandringham staffer, ‘but like everyone else, she has her limits,’” Andersen’s excerpt reads.

Andersen also spoke with Us exclusively about the moment in his book.
“I think Kate’s relationship with her father-in-law over their shared cancer battles really has made her much more sensitive to King Charles’s feelings,” he explained. “She knows better than anyone that having someone publicly imply you may be at death’s door is horribly demoralizing.”
Charles went public with his cancer diagnosis in February 2024 and Kate announced hers the following month. Kate has since announced that she is in remission.
“I’m sure Kate must have felt stung by that comment as well, since she is in a situation very similar to the king’s,” Andersen added, noting that Kate has always been the “level-headed one” in the family feud attempting to “bridge the widening gap between the brothers” — but this changed things.
Andersen speculated that he doesn’t see Harry and Kate “having any sort of relationship” going forward. “At least not for the foreseeable future,” he added.
Kate! The Courage, Grace, and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen hits shelves on Tuesday, May 5.

Ronald D. Moore’s Battlestar Galactica reboot has a well-earned reputation for being a very serious show. Sure, there are moments of levity here and there, but the series never loses its endlessly grim dark tone.
That’s understandable, of course: the show follows the last surviving members of the human race as they flee from extinction at the hands of relentless robot killers. When your TV show is about a slow-rolling apocalypse set in space, there’s not much room (even in the vacuum) for jokes and laughter.

However, Moore has a pretty quirky sense of humor. If you look closely enough, you can find some hilariously off-kilter references to other media that are sure to make you laugh.
In the episode “Litmus,” for example, has a scene in which brilliant, egocentric scientist Gaius Baltar is threatened by the version of Six that lives in his head. As viewers, we’re supposed to take the threat very, very seriously. But that’s hard to do once you realize that she is quoting the Incredible Hulk right to the man’s face!

This bizarre Battlestar Galactica tale will require a bit of frakkin’ context. In the show, there are multiple versions of Six, the statuesque Cylon played to sexy perfection by Tricia Helfer. The most mysterious version is one that lives inside Baltar’s head: it frequently talks to him and offers surprising advice from time to time.
In “Litmus,” for example, Baltar decides to destroy the Cylon detector because he thinks it has made him a target. When she learns of his plan, though, Six tells the scientist, “You’re gonna complete the project, like I told you.”

To this, a defiant Baltar says, “Really. Will I? Or what?” A visibly angry Six then gets in his face to utter something quite intimidating. “Don’t make me angry, Gaius. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.” At least, the line is delivered in an intimidating way.
It’s tough for audiences to be scared, though, once they realize the hilarious truth. Six is inexplicably quoting a line made famous by Bill Bixby when he played the titular lead of the Incredible Hulk TV show. Later, Mark Ruffalo would do a callback to this line in Avengers, when he tells Captain America, “That’s my secret, Cap. I’m always angry.”

So, what’s a goofy line from a goofier Marvel show doing in Battlestar Galactica? Nobody knows for sure, but it seems a safe bet that Ronald D. Moore or others on his staff were big fans of the old Incredible Hulk TV show. That’s because we get at least two more homages to this classic television line.
In “Six Degrees of Separation,” Six repeats the “don’t make me angry” part when she threatens Baltar again. Later, in “Collaborators,” there’s a bizarre dream sequence where Sx says, “Don’t make me angry,” only for Adama to complete the quote: “You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.”

There you have it, you frakkin’ toasters: Battlestar Galactica might be a fairly serious show, but it’s filled with silly homages to the goofiest line in Marvel history. Of course, what makes this tale even stranger is that, canonically, the events of this sci-fi show take place long before the advent of our own modern civilization.
That means that Tricia Helfer’s character isn’t actually quoting the Incredible Hulk. She might (given that this “Head Six” version is seemingly immortal) be the one who inspired Bill Bixby to say it in the first place!
Stassi Schroeder is one of the many “Vanderpump Rules” alums that remains in good graces with Lisa Vanderpump. This is so much the case that during a recent episode of the Hulu show, “Vanderpump Villa,” Schroeder defended the 65-year-old businesswoman after Scheana Shay slammed her in her 2025 memoir.
Now, during a recent podcast appearance, Shay responded, claiming that Schroeder was supposed to return to “VPR” but ultimately refused.

Shay took to her “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay” podcast in May 2026 to react to the clips of Schroeder blasting her in order to defend Vanderpump. Notably, she recalled that Schroeder was asked to return to “VPR” for the show’s 12th season. However, she turned it down.
According to Shay, “I feel like I have a bit of a level of understanding with her because it wasn’t too long ago we were at a birthday party.” She went on to set the scene, saying it was during filming for season two of “The Valley,” on which Shay appeared as a friend of the show.
She went on, “Vanderpump Rules… we still think it’s coming back for season 12, and Jeremiah [perhaps a producer] was talking to Stassi, and they were trying to get her back. Cause we were thinking [there] might be one final season.”

She went on to discuss some of the other cast before saying, “Stassi and I were in a good place then. And so we’re at this birthday party, and I was like, ‘Okay, so like what do you think? Is it a name-your-price [situation]? Like, would you come back?”
Shay continued, “She was like, ‘Honestly, Scheana, I can’t do it. I will never sit down and have a conversation with Lisa Vanderpump.’ And I was like, ‘Really?’ And she goes, ‘That’s what it would be. It would be me coming back to the show, and I have to have a sit-down [with Lisa] like I did season three or four … And I’ll never do that.’”
After that, she reacted to her fellow “VPR” alum appearing on another Vanderpump show. According to her, “So then imagine my shock when I hear she’s going on ‘Vanderpump Villa.’”
She added, “You do what you gotta do to get your bag, get your show picked up, all of that. Respect. Honestly, [I] might have done the same thing.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Shay denied slamming Vanderpump in her book, saying that she “spoke very highly of Lisa. I have had so much respect for Lisa as a businesswoman. As a mother.”

Fans reacted to this section of Shay’s podcast, with many expressing negative opinions about what she said regarding Schroeder. One person wrote, on X, “Scheana is really such a pick me. She wants to be the center of attention for everything. Go find Sandoval, how’d that work out for you?”
Another person said, “She’s pissed that everyone has moved on to bigger things, but she hasn’t.” Someone else related to Schroeder, writing, “I wouldn’t go back to a show I was fired from either.”
Lastly, a different Bravo fan stated, “At this point, Scheana just needs to keep her mouth shut. She just digs a hole for herself every time she speaks.”

Shay appeared on Page Six’s Virtual Reality Tea in 2025. While on the show, one of the hosts asked how she felt about Schroeder joining “Vanderpump Villa,” which was announced in 2024. She said in the clip, “I mean, it made sense because, you know, she had a development deal with Hulu. So, trying to get her own show, I feel like that’s a part of the deal.”
However, she went on to describe Schroeder’s casting as “shocking,” noting that her former costar did not want to speak with Vanderpump on camera.

Scheana mentioned in her podcast that Schroeder’s appearance on “Vanderpump Villa” was done in part to “get [her] show picked up.” She also mentioned her former co-star having a development deal with Hulu. Now, according to Deadline, Schroeder will headline her own show, “House of Stassi,” on Hulu and Freeform.
In addition to Schroeder, “House of Stassi” will feature Katie Maloney, Beau Clark, Kristina Kelly, Taylor Strecker, Georgianna Aubin, Rob Evors, and Taylor “Teddy” Donohue.
The first two episodes of the series will premiere on Freeform on July 29, before the full season, then stream on Hulu and Disney+ starting the following day.
Kim Kardashian is dropping major hints about her upcoming appearance at the 2026 Met Gala, leaving fans eager for a first look at her ensemble.
The reality star took to social media to engage with her followers, sparking intense curiosity about which designer she will represent on fashion’s biggest night.
In the past, the reality TV star has drawn heavy criticism for her Met Gala looks, particularly when she wore Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown.

On the eve of the 2026 Met Gala, Kim Kardashian’s interactive responses on X sent her fanbase into a frenzy of speculation.
When a nostalgic fan asked for a hint regarding her designer choice for old time’s sake, the SKIMS founder offered a playful response, writing, “Hmmm, I don’t think you will be able to guess.”
In addition to the mystery surrounding her gown, Kim provided a few more concrete details regarding her beauty direction for the evening. Responding to a question about whether she would be sporting colorful or nude makeup, she confirmed that fans can expect “more neutral bronze tones” for her red carpet look.
While her makeup plans seem settled, the identity of the person or house behind her dress remains a tightly guarded secret, ensuring all eyes will be on her as she arrives at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

While Kim’s hints about her bronze makeup and mysterious designer choice left many curious, her followers were quick to share their theories and concerns. One fan humorously questioned if she was literally wearing the brand “Guess” based on her playful reply.
Others focused on her famous silhouette, with one user predicting that whatever she wears will surely emphasize a “very tiny waist.”
One fan suggested that the businesswoman may end up wearing Princess Diana’s iconic revenge dress. “Girl, if you wear the revenge dress, we’re going to have an argument,” the fan wrote.
Meanwhile, some followers explicitly warned against another headline-grabbing stunt similar to when she wore Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown.
“We just hope your stylist isn’t stupid enough to make you get so much negative attention and make you wear the Marilyn dress,” another fan commented.
While fans continue to speculate over Kim’s fashion choices for this year’s event, rumors are intensifying, suggesting that the reality star has set her sights on the famous “Revenge Dress” once worn by Princess Diana.
This iconic black gown, designed by Christina Stambolian, became a global sensation in 1994 when the late Princess wore it following public admissions of infidelity by the then-Prince of Wales.
According to The Daily Mail, speculation regarding this potential fashion choice grew after comments on “Good Morning Britain” suggested Kim was hiring the historic frock for the night.
However, the news sparked immediate backlash on social media. Many remembered the 2022 controversy when Kim wore Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday Mr. President” dress and was accused of causing permanent damage to the priceless item.

While the potential for a “revenge dress” moment dominates the current news cycle, Kim’s history at the event suggests she is more than capable of creating a viral sensation without relying on historical artifacts.
Over the years, she has transformed from a guest to a definitive force on the red carpet, consistently choosing outfits that spark global debate and redefine fashion boundaries.
Her appearance in 2024 showed a more refined side of her style, featuring a romantic look with a structured corset and delicate lace that felt both sophisticated and modern.
This softer approach was a departure from her 2023 choice, where she wore a custom gown crafted entirely from thousands of pearls, as reported by The Blast.
In 2021, she shocked fans by hiding her famous face with her head-to-toe black ensemble, while her 2019 “wet look” dress was a technical marvel that created the illusion of water dripping from her body.

Kim’s history of taking massive risks perfectly aligns with the high standards of the event, which is famous for its rigid and often surprising set of expectations. While the gala appears to be a carefree party for the elite, it is actually governed by a strict code of conduct that even the most famous guests must follow.
According to The Blast, one of the most significant requirements for attendees is a total ban on cell phones once they enter the museum.
Additionally, guests have almost no control over where they sit; seating charts are meticulously planned months ahead to encourage conversation between strangers. Furthermore, having the money for a ticket does not guarantee entry, as Anna Wintour must personally approve every guest.
