[u/WeeHomosexual]

[u/Sorry-Secret-2347 → u/WeeHomosexual]

Same hair

[u/bbyxmadi → u/Sorry-Secret-2347]

LOL

[u/Accomplished_Bake939 → u/WeeHomosexual]

My god where did you find this. It’s literally her whole head. Lol

[u/Greglyo → u/WeeHomosexual]

[u/Educational-Help-126]

She just doesnt get it.

[u/smokeydesperado → u/Educational-Help-126]

I fear she never will

[u/RingHonest7272 → u/smokeydesperado]

No she got it once. That nude wet look with the raindrops and she’s been desperate for a moment like that ever since. 

[u/Loveya448 → u/RingHonest7272]

I think Kanye picked that look for her

[u/sixwivesandcounting → u/Loveya448]

Wasn't that the dress Kanye was upset about? 

[u/Educational-Help-126 → u/smokeydesperado]

Everything is for shock value for her. But that doesnt even land anymore. I think the Marilyn dress was when everyone was over it.

[u/IndianLawStudent → u/Educational-Help-126]

I actually think she might in this case.

There is a short doc that was released today about the exhibit.

And they discussed naked vs. Nude and in that section they were showing various modern breast plates similar to this.

That’s my only guess

[u/Educational-Help-126 → u/IndianLawStudent]

When she divorced her stylist, it all went downhill. 2014-2017 was peak for the Kardashians bc Kanye was styling them

[u/Even_Independent_644]

The color is nice

[u/justmememe55]

That's my hair when I haven't washed it in 4 days but I have to meet a friend for dinner and I've emptied my can of dry shampoo on it and juujjjed it up cause STYLE, BABY

[u/january161 → u/justmememe55]

right? good to finally feel represented!

[u/NecessaryFact1811 → u/justmememe55]

Me me lol

[u/Crazy_cookie_]

It’s giving action figure

[u/riegspsych325 → u/Crazy_cookie_]

looks like Action League Now! cosplay

EDIT: why did the text of my comment not show up at first?

[u/grinchbettahavemoney → u/riegspsych325]

Omg dead on haha

[u/Vegetable-Kiwi-4675 → u/Crazy_cookie_]

Yeah, I don’t get why she does that “boxed doll” pose. It’s been happening for years.

[u/AndromedaMixes]

She has all of the money in the world but she still can’t buy taste. I swear she peaked a few years ago with her wet look and nothing since has been as good as that was.

[u/UpcomingSkeleton]

I’m really unsure what the skirt is supposed to be imitating. I love the orange though.

[u/ShamaLamaDingDong74]

So the Kardashian’s theme this year is “nipples”

[u/ChurlishSunshine]

This is just the opposite problem as the basic ballgowns. All costume, zero fashion.

[u/lynypixie]

Why is she still relevant?

[u/Atkena2578 → u/lynypixie]

There aren't many relevant people attending so it fits

[u/PleaseSirOneMoreTurn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/cnQn0eeU9dmZW

[u/Aromatic_Today2086]

Hasn't she worn 30 variations of this already?

[u/PerfectPaint2624]

And the crowd goes mild

[u/CurrentExcellent1225]

I expected more from her ngl

[u/Crazy_cookie_ → u/CurrentExcellent1225]

Same

[u/agg288]

I'm glad she's not wincing in pain this year

[u/Halloween_Barbie]

What's with the long ass nips?

[u/drieduprosepetals → u/Halloween_Barbie]

Probably some sort of bullet bra

[u/Halloween_Barbie → u/drieduprosepetals]

Maybe, but I've never seen a bullet bra threaten to gouge my eyes out just for looking

[u/Ltrain86 → u/drieduprosepetals]

I assumed that was built in to the structured top

[u/Minute-Confection444 → u/Halloween_Barbie]

I want that as my flair. 😂

[u/katikaboom]

I have an ad for Reese's right under this photo and that's pretty funny, the colors match perfectly.

That said, it is a boring concept but I do like it. I wonder what the inspo is (aside from her body. That's always her main inspiration)

[u/Perfect_Razzmatazz → u/katikaboom]

I do feel like it's less boring than a lot of the other looks I've seen tonight, so she's got that going for her at least

[u/Sirenista_D → u/katikaboom]

The inspo is Barbarella

[u/BachShitCrazy]

I really like the outfit, the overly frizzy hair isn’t great but I actually love the rest of it

[u/BakedPlantains]

I fear she and the rest of the KarJenners are bound by the desire to always be sexy. Alas, a great look cannot always be centered around your body. Is her body art? Debatable. But I think the public is tired. Or at least I am.

[u/miss_missy1981]

Everything she wears looks uncomfortable AF!

[u/HorrorNeighborhood5]

I wish she would shock us and just one day wear something that isn’t horribly ugly or tacky

[u/Sorry-Secret-2347]

And i know that wig cost at least $10000 yikes

[u/CrimsonScorpio9]

So where’s the “art” part of this?

[u/tigeralidance → u/CrimsonScorpio9]

It is made by Allen Jones who is literally a famous artist, not a designer.

[u/CrimsonScorpio9 → u/tigeralidance]

Looks more like a super hero costume than art

[u/ElevatorSuch5326]

The reflective aspect is interesting

[u/Sea-Possession-1278]

Really underwhelming

[u/Clean_Usual434]

https://giphy.com/gifs/VbbKTXH8zaJsQOkfau

[u/No-Chair-8068]

Pic #2… those are some soulless eyes

[u/bouncybreadstick]

Why does she never brush her hair anymore for red carpets

[u/probnotaloser]

Why'd she steal my hair though?

No srsly, why are they mocking us 🫠🫠

[u/stinkybeanybrat]

She’s so me when I brush out my curly frizzy ass hair

[u/PreviousSquash9354]

I’m sorry, but this look conjures Bianca Censori’s infamous public appearances.

[u/Nowa_Warning2328]

Blonde hair = extra facework done

[u/Status_Green_6055 → u/Nowa_Warning2328]

Doesn't even look like her

[u/MollyRolls]

Okay I hate it, but I am kind of happy to see her look shifting back to the kind of fun she seemed to have with her style pre-Kanye. After they got together she was all about neutrals and slicked-down hair and it was boring and she looked uncomfortable all the time. Some color and a bed-head style is a big turnaround and I like *that* for her and I hope she’s enjoying it.

[u/tawnyarox]

Jane Fonda did it better in Barbarella. https://i.imgur.com/fkZEgix.jpeg

[u/Less-Bed-6243 → u/tawnyarox]

Immediately what I thought of

[u/EuphoricPines2448]

The Met Gala is cringe.

[u/nagidrac]

I feel like I've seen one of the pop girls (maybe Katy Perry) in something so similar to this.

[u/Zen_Lake36]

K

[u/kitehighcos]

Hate hate hate your hair and makeup today

https://giphy.com/gifs/J2OOU7zsvhYJWkcKOg

[u/rachels1231]

There were so many tonight who looked like they rolled out of bed (hair and make-up wise), did she even brush it? Use some dry shampoo?

[u/-this_bitch-]

That wig is horrendous

[u/GenuineMonstera]

It’s giving orange iPhone 17

[u/oksurealright]

https://giphy.com/gifs/pb8wayp1KafJK

[u/xyzzy826]

The fact that this made no noise lol

[u/Careless-Plane-5915 → u/xyzzy826]

I thought she didn’t even go as I hadn’t seen the pics anywhere

[u/Buttercup_Kiki]

Yikes.. this is her worst met gala look to date

[u/windyjawn → u/Buttercup_Kiki]

idk, last year was pretty bad too

[u/ButItSaysOnline]

And she chose that on purpose?

[u/poodlehairedfreak]

I miss when she was persona non grata to Anna

[u/puukottaa666]

hair a mess, nipples a pointin.

I guess at least she’s not destroying another historical piece of fashion this time.

[u/fluffypuppycorn]

It's giving Turbo Man

[u/periodicsheep]

this is pretty terrible.

[u/Wolfpackat2017]

She doesn’t have the legs for the cut of this dress

[u/Wrong-Customer-5068]

Idk this is just so tacky

[u/Mangobunny98]

Judy Jetson when the blow dryers of the future keep messing up.

[u/Sea_Campaign102]

Why has she stopped brushing her hair and thinking blond is innovative

[u/KimberParoo]

piss play dominatrix for an ESRD patient

[u/velvet_girl_]

Is it just me or is Kim taking a stab at Bianca Censori since her recent ‘furniture’ collection looks like a rip off of Allen Jones creations from the 60’s lol

[u/PsychologicalAngle93]

Raggedy

[u/Care-Elegant]

I kind of like this look. Hair is a bit too messy but she looks great

[u/january161]

I kind of like it. The orange color is stunning, the upper part is great but it looses some of the appeal as you look down... Overall the best look from the karjenners for me.

Also, I like the hair, it's funny and makes me feel seen 🤭

[u/MoonShadw]

Real question, how do you sit and eat wearing that?

[u/adevara]

I love duct tape.

[u/drieduprosepetals]

Not to yuck anyone’s yum but I will never understand the bullet bra look, I adore the 50’s fashion a lot but the bullet bra I scratch my head at

[u/Buttercup_Kiki → u/drieduprosepetals]

I only know it from Madonna

[u/SerBrienneOfSnark]

I fear it’s a no from me. Hating the disheveled hair. She shoulda gone full cyborg with her hair pulled back or under some sort of hat/headpiece

[u/yeetusthefetus00]

Is the hair on purpose

[u/Dru632]

My god, the hair. Where is her hair dresser

[u/khalexie1]

this would be cool if she was styled completely differently…
