Anna Wintour angry at Rihanna for being late at MET Gala

Anyone who’s seen The Devil Wears Prada knows it takes a very, very, VERY brave woman to cross Vogue boss Anna Wintour.
Rihanna faced the wrath of the mag editor after keeping her waiting for 40 minutes at the annual AAA-list studded Met Ball while her nails were painted.
Rihanna, 24, spent two hours in her Manhattan hotel suite having her two-inch talons buffed and preened as guests, including Beyonce, Kanye West, Kristen Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow dutifully swanned up the red carpet.
Ms Wintour, 62, made her grand entrance and, assuming everyone had arrived, had flunkies close the red carpet, so festivities could formally begin.
Then she was informed Rihanna was a no-show.
I’m told: “Rihanna planned to walk the carpet with everyone else but, sadly, her nails and manicurist took far longer than expected.
"Her chauffeur was told to drive around the block several times, as she made last-minute changes, but her ‘people’ didn’t warn organisers she’d be late.
“She missed her slot on the red carpet and left Anna in a frenzy. The pair had a heated conversation during the champagne reception.
"Rihanna will not be invited to any of her future events any time soon.”
The We Found Love star – who found anything but with Ms Wintour who inspired Meryl Streep’s character in the film – blamed her “claw-like” nails for the hold-up.
But she still found time to Tweet a photo of herself getting ready.

Rih arrived before Beyonce...
I am just saying, not trying to start drama.
