She had unleashed the crowds on social networks at the Met Gala 2022, wearing this little piece of history that is the famous dress worn by Marylin Monroe for the birthday of John F. Kennedy in 1962. Kim Kardashian was thus expected at the turning for the climb of the steps during the Met Gala 2023 held last night, even though it was rumored that she would not be coming, and neither would her clan.
But it was true to herself, in a figure-hugging silhouette, signed by Daniel Roseberry of the house of Schiaparelli, that she appeared on the red carpet.
The social media star and American businesswoman, who has not missed a single edition of this event for more than ten years, wore (almost) only pearls for the evening in tribute to Karl Lagerfeld.

His inspiration?
Kim Kardashian says that in her eyes, it is the pearls that best represent the Kaiser's world of fashion.

, the reality series which Kim Kardashian and her family starred in, spotted in this look an air of deja vu.
Indeed, Kendall Jenner's half-sister has already worn a similar outfit: it was in 2007, for PlayBoy magazine.
She appeared there completely naked, her private parts covered by pearl necklaces.
An analogy that may well displease Kim Kardashian, who has repeatedly said that she regrets this photo shoot of the past decade.
Or maybe it's her way of making precious the memory of an awkward moment.
