Since then, Kardashian has continued to favor dresses that accentuate the form. In 2019, for the “camp” theme, Kardashian wore a custom Thierry Mugler look made of silk organza and dripping crystals (it was made to mimic the wet shirtdress that Sophia Loren wears in Boy on a Dolphin). Underneath, a Mr. Pearl corset further whittled the waist. In 2021, for “In America A Lexicon of Fashion,” Kardashian went viral once again This time for the all black Balenciaga spandex look she wore on the carpet, which covered her from head to toe.
Of course, there’s no Kardashian Met Gala look that was as hotly discussed as last year’s, which honored the history of American fashion. The star slipped into a naked style Jean Louis dress, once worn by Marilyn Monroe to sing “Happy Birthday” to then president JFK in 1962. “Nowadays everyone wears sheer dresses, but back then that was not the case,” says Kardashian of the famous frock. “In a sense, it’s the original naked dress. That’s why it was so shocking.” For the 2023 Met Gala, Kardashian covered herself in over 50,000 pearls when she wore a couture creation by Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli. The look took artisans over 1,000 hours to create, with pearls dangling directly of Kim s body a bold new iteration of the star s love for body conscious fashion.
