On the evening of May 5, Kim Kardashian almost became a viral sensation for the wrong reasons due to an incident involving a security guard prior to the Met Gala.
Kardashian’s striking ensemble featured a long black leather bodycon dress paired with an oversized fedora from Chrome Hearts, complemented by multiple layers of diamond necklaces and earrings. This outfit paid tribute to the zoot suits worn by Black men during the 1930s and 1940s, aligning perfectly with the Met Gala’s theme for the year, ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,’ which highlighted the impact of Black fashion and identity, especially in menswear.
The reality television star was filmed attempting a slow-motion, cinematic walk alongside her daughter North West on their way to the fashion event, when a misstep by a security guard nearly caused her to fall. His foot caught on her dress, prompting Kardashian to turn sharply, utter a pointed remark, and gesture in a classic display of diva annoyance. She quickly regained her composure, flipping her hair with characteristic elegance before proceeding to the car. The incident was swiftly shared on TikTok, where users eagerly commented, with one noting, ‘It’s the hair flick for me,’ while another remarked, ‘Like boy, don’t mess this up for me.’
Some viewers speculated that North, aged 11, appeared less than pleased based on her facial expression, despite having shared TikToks with her mother earlier that evening, showcasing her own stylish outfit. Although the minor stumble may have disrupted the moment, Kim’s overall appearance remained impressive.
