The Kim Kardashian Met Gala 2024 Discussion Starts…Now

After flirting with pink hair, she went back to platinum with dark roots for the 2024 Met Gala, but the most striking aspect of the Kim Kardashian Met Gala 2024 look is her tightly cinched waist, creating quite the silhouette. Is she an hourglass to go with the dress code, The Garden of Time? Also, how does she breathe in that?

Her ensemble for the evening was a truly gorgeous custom silver metallic gown by Maison Margiela Couture, surprisingly paired with…a wrap. Always unexpected, our Kim!

The dress code this year is The Garden of Time, to go with the current Costume Institute exhibit, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” The pieces on display are items too old or fragile to be worn by a human, which some have interpreted as a response to Kardashian’s controversial decision to wear an iconic Marilyn Monroe garment to the 2022 Met Gala. In case you missed it, Kardashian borrowed Monroe’s crystal-covered dress from Ripley’s Believe It or Not and wore it on the carpet and up the steps, despite the fact that it is considered a piece of fashion history…and that she couldn’t zip it up all the way when she first tried it on. In response, Kardashian clarified that she only wore the dress for the pictures, and changed into a replica for the rest of the evening (once you get inside the Met Gala, there’s dinner and dancing). Still, there was significant backlash.

But this year she’ll probably spark another round of discourse about the other thing she did for the 2022 Met Gala: a crash diet. Never let anyone say Kim doesn’t serve us plenty to talk about! She knows we’re going to have opinions anyway, so she might as well dictate the topic. And the Kim Kardashian Met Gala 2024 Waist Convo will surely be no different.
