Kim Kardashian Stuns in Cozy Couture at Met Gala: A Tribute to Timeless Elegance

Kim Kardashian broke away from her usual Met Gala style, opting for a fusion of cozy and couture.

The renowned reality star and fashion entrepreneur donned a bespoke creation from Maison Margiela Artisanal, crafted by the renowned John Galliano. Her ensemble featured a delicate pale grey cashmere cardigan paired with a couture corset meticulously woven from antique silver brocade. Completing the look was a skirt adorned with intricate silver metal detailing.

Maison Margiela described the ensemble as a tribute to lace, flowers, and foliage, incorporating elements such as silver chains and floral motifs cut from mirrored fragments. Inspired by the romantic relationship between Elizabeth Taylor and her cherished jewelry, the silhouette exuded a sense of timeless elegance.

Kim Kardashian has been a fixture at the Met Gala for several years, expressing her anticipation for reconnecting with friends and family on fashion’s grandest stage. In an interview with Vogue, conducted by her close friend La La Anthony, Kardashian shared her excitement for seeing her sisters and friends. She revealed that despite their experience, they all still feel nervous before the event and often coordinate their arrivals on the red carpet.

This year’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” draws inspiration from J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same name, aligning seamlessly with the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Curated by Andrew Bolton, the exhibition showcases delicate garments from the institute’s archives, reimagining them through a lens of nature. The accompanying coffee table book is set to be released on June 18th.
