Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour has declined an invite to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding - just weeks after controversially putting them on the cover of the fashion bible.
Ms Wintour has received an invitation to the exclusive affair, with Entertainment Tonight reporting there will be a dinner in Paris on May 23 before guests are flown to the wedding in Florence in Italy on May 24.
A source close to the editor confirmed she would not be attending. However, she is believed to be in talks to feature their wedding pictures in an upcoming issue. A source told MailOnline: "Anna politely declined Kim and Kanye's kind invitation."
The trio remain close and Kim and Kanye joined Ms Wintour at the Met Gala in New York last week.
When asked about the wedding photos being featured in Vogue, a Vogue spokeswoman said: "We never comment on future issues".
Kim and Kanye appeared on the April cover of Vogue, shot by legendary Annie Leibovitz.
Standing in a strapless Lanvin gown, Kim looked the blushing bride with her Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring, valued at over $ 5million, as Kanye stood with his arms wrapped around her. The hashtag #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple was emblazoned beneath them on the cover.
The cover led to around 250,000 sales - about 20 per cent more from the previous issue featuring Rihanna.
The wedding of the reality star and the rapper is said to be so intimate that even Keeping up with the Kardashians executive producer and family friend Ryan Seacrest did not score an invite.
Speaking on Monday at the FOX Upfronts in New York, Seacrest, 39, told Access Hollywood: "Here's what I would guess. It would be one of the most amazing ceremonies that has ever been had.
"I think that we'll all sort of smile and love that fact that you can see how much he adores her and she adores him."
And Kim, 33, who will be on her third marriage, told Seacrest in February: "We're having a super, super small, intimate wedding. As we go along, we're realising we want it to be smaller and more intimate than people are imagining and thinking."
The invitations, revealed last week, feature a simple design: gold lettering on a neutral background. Information is scarce; all that's included are a few lines about the date and dress code for the ceremony and rehearsal dinner.
The bride-to-be recently tweeted about the upcoming event, noting that the vows would not be filmed for her E! reality show.
2. We are not filming our wedding for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. You will see everything leading up til and after!
As much as we would love to share these memories on camera, we've decided to keep this close to our heart & share thru photos
For months it was rumored that music millionaire Kanye had been "begging" Wintour to put his fiancée on the cover of Vogue.
But Ms Wintour put those rumors to rest in her April 2014 Editor's Letter for Vogue's Shape Issue, calling the cover shot: "both charming and touching".
"You may have read that Kanye begged me to put his fiancée on Vogue's cover,' wrote the 64-year-old Editor In Chief. "He did nothing of the sort. The gossip might make better reading, but the simple fact of the matter is that it isn't true."
Ms Wintour applauded Kim's "strength of character", writing: "There's barely a strand of the modern media that the Kardashian Wests haven't been able to master, and for good reason.
"Kanye is an amazing performer and cultural provocateur, while Kim, through her strength of character, has created a place for herself in the glare of the world's spotlight, and it takes real guts to do that."
