Met Gala: Kim Kardashian matches metallic corset with comfortable cardigan
Kim Kardashian, the reality TV star and entrepreneur behind SKIMS, turned heads at the 2024 Met Gala held at the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This year, she ditched her usual bombshell gown looks for a stunning metallic silver corset dress from Maison Margiela for the event. The dress, which was tightly cinched to highlight her waist, featured a floral design and cutouts that offered glimpses of her legs.
Kardashian's unexpected pairing and glamorous makeup
In a move that left jaws on the floor, Kardashian paired her dramatic dress with a comfortable cropped gray sweater. Her makeup was equally glamorous, featuring a smoky eye, bronzed contour, and a glossy pink lip. The ensemble was completed with her ice-blonde hair styled in loose waves and a sharp nude manicure. She once declared she was "born for this," reflecting her comfort in the limelight.

Met Gala's theme and Kardashian's previous fashion choices
The theme of the 2024 Met Gala was "The Garden of Time," inspired by the museum's Costume Institute's latest exhibit, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." At the previous year's gala, which honored late designer Karl Lagerfeld, Kardashian wore a white midi dress by Schiaparelli made entirely of pearl strands. This outfit echoed her 2007 Playboy cover attire and featured a golden silky corset bodice and bra.
Kardashian's daring accessories and previous Met Gala companions
Kardashian accessorized her pearl dress with a diamond-and-pearl choker, diamond stud earrings, pearl-embellished white sandals, and a matching pearl anklet. She attended the event with her eldest daughter North West. Two years before this, she made her Met Gala appearance alongside then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. For that occasion, she paid homage to Old Hollywood by wearing Marilyn Monroe's iconic 60-year-old "Happy Birthday Mr President" dress designed by Jean Louis.
