New York, New York – Kim Kardashian once again steals the spotlight at the Met Gala with her daring fashion choice. This year, she graced the red carpet in a corset-style dress by John Galliano for Maison Margiela, accentuating her waist to extreme lengths. The metallic ensemble featured a silver corset made from antique brocade fabric, paired with a cashmere cardigan.
Staying true to the event’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” Kardashian’s skirt was crafted from tooled silver metal adorned with flowers, leaves, pearls, mirror fragments, and crystals. The Skims founder kept her accessories minimal, only wearing a Lorraine Schwartz diamond pinky ring to complement her statement outfit.
This is not the first time Kardashian has showcased a dramatic waist-cinching outfit. In the past, she faced criticism for wearing a Mugler corset, similar to the backlash received by Anya Taylor Joy for a Maison Margiela corseted look. The reality star completed her Met Gala ensemble with beachy blond waves, a departure from her signature black locks and recent platinum blond and pink pixie cut hairstyles.
Kardashian’s appearance at the Met Gala has always been highly anticipated, with a history of jaw-dropping outfits since her debut in 2013 with then-boyfriend Kanye West. Over the years, she has made headlines with her memorable Met Gala looks, from a floral Givenchy gown in 2013 to a Thierry Mugler “wet” dress in 2019 that required breathing lessons.
As Kardashian continues to push boundaries with her fashion choices, she acknowledges her harshest critic, her 10-year-old daughter North. The young fashionista has not hesitated to share her opinions on her mother’s red carpet looks. Whether North approved of this year’s Met Gala ensemble remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Kim Kardashian always knows how to make a statement at the fashion event of the year.
