The American socialite Kim Kardashian, 41, revealed that she did not want to wear her iconic look at the Met Gala 2021 ceremony. On the occasion, the businesswoman appeared completely covered in a black outfit, which resulted in memes, costumes and even reproductions.
“I struggled with it. I don’t know how I could wear the mask. Why would I want to cover my face?”, says Kim in an interview with Vogue magazine, about the Balenciaga look. She says that Demna Gvasalia, the brand’s creative director, insisted that she wear the outfit anyway.
“Demna and the crew said, ‘This is a costume party. This isn’t a Vanity Fair party where everyone looks gorgeous,'” the millionaire continued. In 2021, around the time of the Met Gala, a source told the entertainment website People that it was Kanye West, Kim’s ex-husband, who introduced her to Demna.
“[Isso] was instrumental in the newly formed relationship between Kim and Balenciaga,” said the source. “This look of Kim’s is like a new subculture and fashion statement. No logo, no face, but everyone knows it’s her. Kanye gave her the courage to push people’s creativity and imagination through art. It’s the ultimate confidence.”
Balenciaga’s creative director stated that Kim has become an icon of women’s fashion and beauty. “She did something very similar to what Marilyn Monroe did back in the day. She redefined our understanding of what beauty is.”
Recently, Kanye West’s new girlfriend, 44, actress Julia Fox, 32, said in an interview with the Call Her Daddy podcast that she considers it normal for the rapper to still love Kim Kardashian. Both separated in 2021 and since then the musician has been trying to get back together.
“I’m sure there are still some residual feelings, and that’s normal, it’s human,” he said. “I know he’s with me now. And that’s all that matters,” he amended. According to her, her relationship with the rapper is organic and natural. The relationship went public in early January. Kim is dating actor and comedian Pete Davidson.
