Diamonds, pearls, leather, oh my! Kim Kardashian dressed up for the 2025 Met Gala. The reality star, known for her boundary-pushing and sometimes controversial looks, wore a crocodile leather off-the-shoulder Chrome Hearts corset two-piece.
The gown featured an open back with a long, dramatic train, turning heads as she took to the Met Gala stage. The bodycon silhouette was complemented by a matching leather hat, while two strings of pearls fell elegantly at the waist, accessorized with a layered diamond necklace and a pair of matching diamond earrings. The Skims founder’s long black hair was styled into sleek waves that fell gracefully down her back.
Her appearance at this year’s Met Gala marked the second year in a row that she has worn a corset look. She previously wore a similar style designed by John Galliano for Maison Margiela at the 2024 Met Gala.
She followed a “tailored for you” dress code and her look matched the theme of “Ultra Sophistication: Style in Blackness,” which celebrates black dandyism and was inspired by Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book, Slaves of Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diaspora Identity.
She co-chaired the event with other boundary-pushing A-listers like Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo and A$AP Rocky. One thing about Kim Kardashian is that she always takes charge and pushes the limits of fashion, whether critics like it or not.
