Kim Kardashian sparkled in antique brocade at the Met Gala on Monday in New York. The Skims founder opted for a custom Maison Margiela look designed by the label’s creative director, John Galliano.

Featuring a silver corset and a gray cashmere cardigan, the skirt of Kardashian’s ensemble was crafted with tooled metal and mirrored fragments evoking botanical motifs, including flowers, leaves and sprigs, which were embellished with pearls and crystal pendants.
Kardashian’s look was similar to a design Galliano sent down the runway during Margiela’s spring 2024 couture presentation.
The reality star wore her platinum blond tresses in beachy waves, while her makeup consisted of brown eye shadow and a nude lip.

Galliano also dressed two of this year’s Met Gala co-chairs, Zendaya and Bad Bunny, who traveled up the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s iconic stairs in custom Margiela and Christian Louboutin Tabis.
Kardashian attended Margiela’s spring 2024 couture show in Paris in January, where she was accompanied by her younger sister, Kylie Jenner.
The Met Gala raises funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and celebrates the Costume Institute’s annual exhibits. This year’s theme, “The Garden of Time,” nods to the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit, which will open to the public on Friday. The 2024 event is notably co-chaired by Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth and Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour.
