While one member of the famous family chose to skip fashion’s biggest night, her enthusiastic support from afar became a story of its own. As the Kardashian-Jenner contingent arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual Met Gala, their bold sartorial choices were met with immediate and effusive praise from a close relative watching from home.
Kim Kardashian made a striking entrance in a sheer, silver-toned gown that emphasized a dramatically narrowed waistline, completed with a draped gray cardigan. The look sparked divided reactions online, with some admirers and some critics debating the overall effect.
Kylie Jenner turned heads in a custom ivory Oscar de la Renta creation, featuring a dramatic train and distinctive structural details, earning her comparisons to a classic doll from a bygone era. Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner secured a unique fashion distinction, reportedly becoming the first person to ever wear a specific archival gown from Alexander McQueen’s 1999 collection for Givenchy, a piece previously displayed only on a mannequin.
The family matriarch also commanded attention, arriving in an elegant white satin ensemble adorned with floral embroidery. The absent sister shared glowing tributes to all, expressing particular awe for her mother’s regal appearance.
This supportive family member, known for her general aversion to high-pressure red carpets, made her own sole Met Gala appearance two years prior, an experience she later described as intensely anxiety-inducing. Her decision to celebrate this year’s event from a distance allowed for a full-throated, public celebration of her family’s headline-making fashion moments.
