Kim Kardashian is giving fans an exclusive look behind the scenes at the Met Gala as she prepares for one of the most anticipated nights in show business. The reality star, 45, is rumoured to be attending the event with her boyfriend, Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, who is also a regular at the glamorous gathering.
A Look Back at Iconic Outfits
To get into the spirit of the evening, Kim has shared a series of nostalgic snaps from her more than a decade of attending the New York bash. The collection includes photos of her favourite outfits over the years, as well as behind-the-scenes moments, even inside the toilets at the event. Captioning the post, she wrote: 'Year 13 loading…'
The photos have already garnered over a million likes, with fans praising her style. One user commented: 'Vintage Dior by Galliano yes!' while others hailed her as the 'Met Gala queen'.
Relationship with Lewis Hamilton
Speculation is rife about whether Hamilton will accompany Kim on the red carpet tonight, following his frustrating race in Miami on Sunday. The couple made their first public appearance together at the Super Bowl in February, and their relationship appears to be progressing quickly. Reports suggest they are even considering moving in together, after being spotted shopping for homeware in Los Angeles.
This Year's Theme: Costume Art
The theme for this year's Met Gala is 'Costume Art', chosen to coincide with the museum's new exhibition, which will display hundreds of outfits and objects spanning 5,000 years. Kim's outfit choice is highly anticipated, especially after her controversial look in 2024.
Controversy in 2024
In 2024, Kim faced criticism for 'perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards' with her silver Margiela by John Galliano corset-style dress, which cinched her waist to an extreme size. She paired the metallic dress with a grey cashmere cardigan, but the look was widely slammed for promoting unrealistic body expectations.
About the Met Gala
The Met Gala is an annual charity benefit for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Held on the first Monday of May, it marks the opening of the institute's latest exhibition. The event is considered one of the most prestigious fashion nights of the year, drawing a high-profile guest list of designers, creatives, actors, models, and musicians. Guests are expected to follow a specific dress code themed around the exhibition. The night is famously co-chaired by Dame Anna Wintour.
As the countdown continues, fans eagerly await Kim's appearance and the unveiling of her latest fashion statement.
