Azealia Banks is Going to the Met Ball With Alexander Wang; Will Perform Too

Here's a pairing that makes perfect sense: Alexander Wang, the longtime king of cool, will be taking Azealia Banks, fashion's flavor of the month, to the Met Ball.

But that's not all: According to her Twitter, Banks will also be performing at some point during the night:

I've Been invited to Perform for PRADA next week in NYC! Gonna b so lush !! Let's see what new songs I debut there! #metball2012
