Paris Hilton is checking a HUGE honor off her bucket list, she’ll be attending the Met Gala for the first time in her life … TMZ has learned.
Here’s the deal, sources connected tell TMZ … Paris got the invite from Vogue and the designer of her upcoming look and luckily, she was available to go. Unclear who she’ll be working with for the outfit, but a big accomplishment like this must warrant a big designer.
We’re told this year’s theme is in honor of her late friend and iconic designer, called “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” You’ll recall, the 2 had a great relationship together — some might even remember she went with Kim Kardashian to a collab he did with Dom Perignon back in 2006.
Paris will be flying to the Gala — which goes down on May 1 — from Washington, D.C. … where she’ll be holding a conference about the new Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act prior to the fashion event.
Sources aren’t sure why she never went to the Gala in the past — but they add Paris is over the moon about the invite! We can’t wait to see the debut …
