Kim Kardashian
When Demna Gvasalia decided to dress Kim Kardashian in Balenciaga, from head to toe, for the 2021 MET Gala, the star had her doubts. Especially since Kim‘s outfit was a combination of garments that covered every inch of Kardashian‘s body, including her face.
But from the moment Kim Kardashian stepped onto the coveted red carpet, her look became an iconic statement: a timeless mix of what American fashion shows and hides at the same time. The importance of Balenciaga‘s design was in Kim and her ability to be instantly recognizable (without even having to show off), and a mainstay of the fashion world, even covered up in full!
Balenciaga has redefined Kim’s style (a perfect example we saw at the MET Gala 2021) in one of her most complicated transition processes so far: her life before the divorce, during her divorce, and even their new relationship with Pete Davidson. And is that the most famous of the Kardashians was using this signature long before it became the image of the brand’s new campaign.
The first Balenciaga bodysuit we saw on Kim Kardashian was a red jumpsuit on Halloween 2020, and her spooky vibe has been captivating everyone’s attention ever since. But since October 31 is all about fantasy, horror, and humor, the outfit didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary. It was until Kim and Balenciaga began to collaborate to make these jumpsuits the fashion decalogue of the celeb.
Even before her appearance at the last MET Gala, Kim Kardashian had already given herself completely to the gloves, pants with shoes, and masks that Balenciaga offers. Starting with 100% leather looks, capes and oversized glasses, The Kardashians star and Demna Gvasalia made it clear that their new aesthetic had more to do with what is not shown than what we can see and began to chart the perfect path to establish the uniform that would become the star’s daily life.
The MET Gala managed to define what would be a myriad of looks that were encapsulated in a single performance, cementing the union of Kim Kardashian, Demna Gvasalia, and Balenciaga for years to come (and we saw this aesthetic at other events Kim attended )
A short time later, the star revealed that she had become the official face of the Balenciaga 2022 campaign. But it was more than obvious that his contract with the fashion house had started long before, giving us small glimpses of what he had in store.
The ad framed Kim Kardashian in what has been her status in the world for more than two decades: a superficially perfect image of one of the pioneers of making herself her brand. With a phone properly aimed at capturing her ideal selfie, Balenciaga debuted what it hoped would be the year’s it-bag, complete with her celeb‘s initials branded on it.
Kim Kardashian‘s life officially became a 100% commercial look because if anyone knows how to sell herself, it’s her. So why not sell to a fashion house at the same time? And the 180-degree switch to a life dedicated to Balenciaga couldn’t have come at a better time, as looks pulled exactly as they were from the catwalks were the perfect substitute for the emptiness left by Kanye West’s stylist imprint.
Now, almost a year after that MET Gala appearance, the question is on our minds. If history has taught us anything, it is that the celeb is willing to be a fashion victim to dominate at the gala, so we can expect some of Demna Gvasalia ‘s designs to make an official appearance by Kim this evening.
On the other hand, maybe her reign with Balenciaga will show us a different dress than what we saw in the previous edition (probably Kim will show herself in a very nude style to go against this head-to-toe black jumpsuit, or maybe the star dives into the firm’s archives to wear something from Balenciaga’s golden age of couture ). After all, if there is an haute couture legacy that proves the epitome of fashion, this prestigious firm has it.
But other rumors point to Kim Kardashian wearing something different this May 1 and moving away from the subject. According to several anonymous clues, the celeb will wear one of the most iconic garments of the golden age of Hollywood: Marilyn Monroe’s dress.
As Kardashian herself said in an interview during the premiere of her new series, the dress she will wear could not be altered (so it would all depend on whether the piece fit her perfectly). This led many fans to speculate that the star is planning to wear the same model that Marilyn debuted during former US President John F. Kennedy’s famous birthday celebration party.
The dress was designed by the famous French dressmaker Jean-Louis Berthault and, since it was auctioned in 2016, it belongs to the Ripley’s Believe it or Not! The most curious of all is that Kim Kardashian was seen in the museum facilities a few weeks ago and yesterday her private jet made a stop in Orlando. Could it be that she picked up the dress to wear tonight at the MET Gala 2021? We are dying to know!
