Kim Kardashian showed up at the Academy Museum Gala in California wearing a strange skin-colored gown that covered her head like a mask. The outfit came from Maison Margiela and looked more like something out of a spy movie than a red carpet event. Fans and tabloids didn’t hold back their opinions online.
It’s not the first time she has worn something like this. Back in 2021, she appeared in a similar all-black Balenciaga outfit that also covered her head. While that look turned heads, this new version had people laughing, questioning her choices, and comparing her to a bank robber.
Social media quickly filled with jokes and memes. One user said: “Guarantee you it isn’t the first time somebody had to cover her face!” Others said she looked like her ex-husband Kanye West, who was known for wearing masks in public. Another person wrote: “Definitely a better look, than what she usually covers her face with.”
A few thought it was intentional, saying maybe she wanted to hide plastic surgery or poke fun at her critics. Either way, the photos spread fast and got everyone talking. The tabloids called her one of the worst dressed of the night, and fans joked that even her family seemed to avoid her on the red carpet.
Reports said her sister Kendall Jenner stayed clear of her at the event, not wanting to be photographed together. Some think the tension started after the All’s Fair premiere, where Kim was said to be upset that her mother Kris Jenner got all the attention. Whatever the reason, Kim’s mask moment stole the spotlight once again.
