Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala ‘dripping in pearls’ with a sparkling Lagerfeld tribute

So we wanted to drop in the pearls,” Kardashian said of her custom Schiaparelli collection on Vogue’s live broadcast from the New York red carpet Monday night. (Technically, the rug was a more rich cream color.)

Several strands of pearls were layered over a tan corset, and still more worked like Kardashian’s maxi skirt. While it was widely lauded as a stylish example of the trend among party invitees, some social media users compared the look to the semi-nude photo shoot Kardashian took part in during the first season of her reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. ”

this year, Kardashian’s half-sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner also attended. Kylie wore a custom bright red dress by Jean Paul Gaultier under a red and blue oversized coat, both pieces by designer Haider Ackermann.
