Kim Kardashian<\/a> knows how to get people talking, especially when it comes to Met Gala<\/a> fashion. Since her first appearance at the fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Costume Institute in 2013, when she walked the famed steps that serve as the dramatic backdrop to the night\u2019s arrivals, wearing a long-sleeve, turtleneck Givenchy gown whose tight-fitting floral fabric made no secret of her late-term pregnancy with her first child, North West, Kardashian has made headlines with her Met Gala looks.<\/p>\n Since then, she\u2019s never missed the event, serving up 10 more must-see looks<\/a> in the years since. Who could forget the flesh-colored Thierry Mugler \u201cwet look\u201d dress she donned in 2019, or the 2022 controversy over Kardashian borrowing the Bob Mackie\u2013designed dress famously worn by Marilyn Monroe to sing \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden? The dress, on loan from Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not, was allegedly damaged during its sojourn with Kardashian, and Mackie later said it had been \u201ca big mistake\u201d<\/a> to let Kardashian wear it. (Ripley\u2019s later issued a statement<\/a> saying that Kardashian \u201cdid not, in any way, damage the garment.\u201d) Yet more controversy: Kardashian was quoted saying she lost 16 pounds in three weeks<\/a> in order to fit into the garment.<\/p>\n Then, in 2024, she wore a Sleeping Beauty\u2013inspired look<\/a> designed by Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano, with a corset so tight she called breathing in the getup \u201can art form\u201d that she had to practice<\/a> before the big night. Last year, in honor of the Met Gala 2025’s \u201cTailored for You\u201d dress code that accompanied the spring\u2019s Costume Institute exhibition, \u201cSuperfine: Tailoring Black Style,\u201d<\/a> Kardashian turned to Chrome Hearts for a black two-piece look, embossed with alligator print. \u201cInspired by Lenny Kravitz, a modern dandy whose fluid, bold aesthetic, alongside icons like Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, pioneered distinct and culturally significant aesthetics – shaping the way men dress for generations to come. Lenny\u2019s signature Chrome Hearts style perfectly captures the spirit of this theme – Black style, razor-sharp tailoring, and dandy tradition,\u201d she wrote about the look on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whether she\u2019s dripping with thousands of pearls<\/a> or covered from head to toe\u2014face included<\/a>\u2014in black fabric, Kardashian is a can\u2019t-miss at the Met Gala.
