Despite the rumour mill working overtime, claiming none of Kardashians had been invited to this year's Met Gala, it seems it was all a false alarm. Yes, Kim Kardashian is now, apparently, invited to the 2023 gala where the theme is set as Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty in honour of the late designer.
As Kris Jenner breathes a sigh of relief, we've been reminiscing about Kim Kardashian's Met Gala fashion moments, from the good to the questionable. Looking back, the famous all-in-one floral maternity Givenchy gown from 2013 - complete with in-built gloves - was actually quite iconic, although the internet did not see this at the time. In a pure power move (one which surely silenced any meme-creators), Kim later wore this look for Halloween, the ultimate clap-back.
Cut to 2019, when Kim seemed to up her game in the Met Gala looks department. For the Notes on Camp Met Gala, Kim stepped out in a custom Thierry Mugler 'Wet Dress', giving the incredible illusion that she was dripping wet on the pink carpet. After a pandemic-induced hiatus in 2020, the gala returned in 2021 where Kim appeared or rather didn't appear in a black Balenciaga gown covering every inch of her.
What came next is the most controversial of all. In 2022, Kim Kardashian arrived to the Gilded Glamour-themed gala wearing the iconic, barely-there gown worn originally by Marilyn Monroe to serenade President John F. Kennedy in 1962. Sold at auction for $4.8 million in 1999, the dress (a Jean Louis design based on a sketch by Bob Mackie) is a piece of American history, or, the perfect Met Gala outfit if you're Kim Kardashian.
Whilst we now speculate what last minute look Kim K will step out in, take a browse through all her past Met Gala fashion moments...

Here it is! The joyous Givenchy floral look that divided the internet. It's now achieved icon status - and rightly so. A pregnant Kim K arrives at the 2013 Met Gala where the theme was Punk: Chaos to Couture. There was quite a punk rock reaction to this outfit so she was on-theme after all.
