Kim Kardashian’s stunning look at the 2024 Met Gala is causing quite a stir, but not everyone is convinced that it matched the event’s theme of “The Garden of Time.” The 43-year-old SKIMS founder donned a breathtaking John Galliano for Maison Margiela gown, but it was her choice of accessories that left people puzzled.
The dress featured silver metallic flowers that beautifully adorned the figure-hugging silhouette, along with a corset. However, it was the unexpected addition of a gray, pill-covered sweater that caught everyone’s attention. It seemed out of place for such a high-profile fashion event. However, Kim explained to Vogue that the cardigan was intentionally chosen as an accessory. She wanted to represent “the wildest night of my life in a garden” and explained that after her fun escapade, she grabbed her boyfriend’s sweater, threw it on, and got to work, resulting in her messy hair.
While Kim’s bedhead hair was purposeful, not everyone was convinced by her fashion statement. Critics took to the internet to voice their opinions, with one user saying, “She’s wearing probably a $100,000 dress and put a little sweater over it! For the MET Gala! She shouldn’t be invited back.” Another person praised her dress but criticized the cardigan, calling it an “overly teased hair and a kindergarten teacher sweater.”
Unfortunately, Kim’s message of her garden-inspired ensemble seemed to be lost on many, as speculation arose about potential wardrobe malfunctions or a flare-up of her psoriasis, a skin condition she often discusses. However, as Marie Claire pointed out, the seemingly haphazard placement of the sweater was actually the intended effect. Regardless, the accessory ended up overshadowing the beauty of the dress.
Kim Kardashian is known for taking fashion risks, and while she sometimes hits the mark, this Met Gala appearance was considered a rare misstep.
