Kim Kardashian goes an extra mile with Met Gala Fashion
"What was the point with the makeup since you are fully covered up?" People are asking
Kim Kardashian is serious about her Met Gala style. Since her debut red carpet appearance in the now-iconic floral print Givenchy maternity dress in 2013, the reality star has continuously gone above and above with her choices.
Given that, as well as her most recent wet-look raindrop gown, which drew Thierry Mugler out of retirement in 2019, the stakes for tonight’s event were high.
Celebrities put their best foot forward on red carpets, but what happens when you can’t see their face at all?
Kardashian’s stark black Balenciaga high couture gown, complete with matching mask and train, was unlike anything else she’d worn at the Met previously. The outfit completely obscured the reality star’s face and famed figure, giving her something she hasn’t had in a long time: obscurity.
With Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia on her arm and a similar costume including a black-out hoodie, Kardashian kept the entire audience guessing as she walked into the event. Although her sister Kendall was near by, giving spectators a hint, her dress and enigmatic atmosphere provided the crowd something fresh and innovative.
However, Kardashian’s makeup artist reacted to the confusion over her dramatic faceless all-black Met Gala look.
Mario Dedivanovic, the Kardashian makeup artist, said that he handled her glam the night of the event, which included contour, strong brows, and a smokey eye.
The beauty guru even utilized high-end La Mer and his own cosmetics line to achieve her monochrome appearance.
He captioned his Instagram image, “Behind the Mask,” with a winking emoji.
Kim opted for a full face of makeup despite covering it up for the star-studded event, and the internet went wild.
One of Mario’s followers commented, “Ahaa! I was wondering if she still got her makeup done when I saw her with the mask.”
Another fan wrote, “What was the point with the makeup since you are fully covered up?”
Someone else responded, “Oh she was still BEAT! Love this attention to detail, the entire look was FABULOUS!”.
Mario posted a number of memes regarding the ordeal. “If you’re feeling worthless today, remember someone had to apply Kim’s cosmetics for the Met Gala,” one message said.
However, Kim’s ex husband, Kanye West, reportedly had a big impact on Demna Gvasalia’s Balenciaga attire, according to an E! News.
He was the one who introduced Kim to Demna and was important in her new relationship with Balenciaga,” the source explained, describing the star’s new fashion period. “Kim’s style is like a whole new subculture and fashion statement.” There’s no brand or face, yet everyone recognizes her.”
