If you happen to thought Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala outfit looked prefer it was thrown together in a rush, the fact star said that was the complete point.
Kardashian, 43, arrived on the 2024 Met Gala at Latest York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 6 in a custom design by Maison Margiela Couture. As a part of the ensemble, the Skims founder swiftly draped a gray sweater over her shoulders as she posed on the carpet.
While some onlookers were stunned by Kardashian’s small waist in her chrome corset, others were left asking: “Why does that sweater look so strange?”
Well, let Kardashian explain.
She told Vogue the look was inspired by “the wildest night of my life in a garden and I just ran out and grabbed my boyfriend’s sweater and threw it on and needed to get to work. And my hair is all tousled.”
Indeed, Kardashian showed off her recently-dyed platinum locks, which were tied right into a messy braid within the back.
“Oh Kim Kardashian why are u holding that top please it ruined the entire dress,” one person commented via X. One other wrote, “Kim Kardashian isn’t doing that sickening corset justice with that drained cardigan. I don’t even wish to talk concerning the hair. I actually have a headache just taking a look at it.”
Confusing inspiration aside, some fans of Kardashian were concerned about her ability to breathe throughout the evening.
“KIMMY BABY WHERE IS UR WAIST?!?!” one person commented on Kardashian’s Instagram post showing off the look. One other wrote, “Girl… slay. But where did you place all of your internal organs???”
Still, the divisive look still had loads of admirers.
Longtime friend Jonathan Cheban commented, “That dress is INSANE. WOW,” while one other fan wrote, “Don’t know what’s prettier her or the dress?!!! ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯.”
The 2024 Met Gala — which was themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” with a “Garden of Time” dress code — was Kardashian’s eleventh in history. She was joined on this yr’s carpet by mother Kris Jenner and her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, and sisters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.
