Kendall Jenner has been branded a “brat” for appearing to disrespect Topshop hours before she shoved an assistant at the Met Gala.

Jenner, 22, was told to “respect” the fashion retailer after she was accused of being embarrassed to admit she wore a Topshop dress to her first Met Gala in 2014.

The reality TV star-turned-model made the comment during a behind-the-scenes Vogue video as she got ready for this year’s Heavenly Bodies themed bash.

Asked which designer she wore in 2014 she replied: “I went with Topshop. It was cute. It was five years ago.”

Viewers accused her of being patronising and dismissive of the retailer, who she launched a collection with in 2016. Others said she should be grateful for the opportunity to attend the high profile event in her teens.

One commented: “This girl is an ungrateful brat. She didn't deserve to go to the MET period, let alone with Topshop.”

Another wrote: “Kendall seems embarrassed that she went with Topshop for her first Met gala at age 18?!!??! I’m sorry does she realise how lucky she is??”

A third posted: “Ok. Her attitude toward Topshop. She should be humbled. Also ALL of her met gala outfit sucked. Never really followed the theme, especially this year.”

The video aired hours after Jenner was captured shoving a man out of her way as she worked the cameras at Monday night’s event.

The Victoria’s Secret model was posing in a white off the shoulder jumpsuit when a man working on the red carpet accidentally stepped back into her shot.

Clearly annoyed, she pushed him aside before snapping back into a pose.

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed the move and branded Jenner a “diva”.
