Kim Kardashian has always served up memorable Met Gala looks (who can forget her robing her baby bump in floral Givenchy for her Met Gala debut in 2013?) – and this year was no different.
The gala returned this year after a pandemic absence, on September 13 (September 14, Manila time) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA.
This year’s theme: “In American: A Lexicon of Fashion,” with “American Independence” as the official dress code. (IN PHOTOS: The 2021 Met Gala red carpet looks)
For someone who’s built an empire out of letting the public into the most intimate details of her life, Kim made quite a bold statement, appropriating anonymity on “fashion’s biggest night out.”
At the Met Gala 2021 red carpet, Kim was literally unrecognizable in a form-fitting black Balenciaga gown with black tights, a black train, black gloves, a sleek, long ponytail trailing behind her, and a black mask covering her famous face.
She was joined on the red carpet by Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia, who was also covered in head-to-toe black.
According to showbiz news site TMZ, rapper Kanye West – Kim’s estranged husband – was the one who encouraged her to wear the look.
Kim herself didn’t say much about it on social media, only posting photos of the look with the caption “Balenciaga Met 2021.” She did tease the look a few fays prior, posting photos of her wearing outfits with similar elements a few days before the event.
The Met Gala is an annual fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is chaired by Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, along with celebrity co-chairs. 2021’s co-chairs were actor Timothée Chalamet, singer Billie Eilish, poet and model Amanda Gorman, and tennis star Naomi Osaka. – Rappler.com
