On September 13, Kim Kardashian caused a virtual earthquake by appearing at the Met Gala, hooded. The superstar returns to this clothing choice in her interview with Vogue. Initially opposed, she complied with the vision of her designer friend.
Her divorce from Kanye West, her new life as a single mother, her desire to become a lawyer… Kim Kardashian is the subject of many questions. She answered it in the pages of Vogue magazine. The superstar also returned to a highlight of his year 2021: his presence at the Met Gala, in an outfit that was surprising to say the least.
The 2021 Met Gala took place on September 13, 2021 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Kim Kardashian was one of the star guests and surprised the photographers and other guests present with her look. Fully dressed by Balenciaga (of which she is now the ambassador), Kim notably wore a mask on her face.
“I fought against it. I said to myself, I don’t know how to wear the mask. Why would I want to cover my face?, remembers Kim in her interview with Vogue. But Demna [Gvasalia, the artistic director of Balenciaga, Editor’s note] and his team reminded me: ‘It’s a costume party. It’s not a Vanity Fair party where everyone is beautiful. There is a theme and you have to wear the mask. It’s the outfit.’
“People would immediately know it was Kim because of her figure. They wouldn’t even have to see her face, you know? And I think that’s the power of her stardom, which people don’t wouldn’t need to see her face to know it’s her,” Demna insisted. Kanye West (now called Ye), close to the Balenciaga house and Demna Gvasalia, is also a fan of the full face mask.
In her interview with Vogue, which she covers, Kim also discusses her separation from Kanye West, whom she married in May 2014. The two icons now have a strained co-parenting relationship and exchange blame publicly. “You can be hurt or mad at your ex, but in front of the kids it should always be ‘Your daddy is the best!’ You have to make sure you’re your co-parent’s biggest supporter, no matter what you’re going through on a personal level,” Kim said.
For his part, Ye still hopes for a reconciliation. He launched a new appeal to his future ex-wife, writing on Instagram: “My God, make our family reform”.
In accordance with the vision of Demna Gvasalia, also present and also masked at the Met Gala, Kim Kardashian complied with the vision of the creator.
