At the Met Gala, expectations are sky-high, and if there’s someone who always steals the spotlight with their outfit, it’s Kim Kardashian.
After her iconic Marilyn Monroe-inspired look from last year, the SKIMS founder made jaws drop in a sheer Margiela by John Galliano corseted dress. But it was her unexpected gray sweater that had fans thinking that there may have been a wardrobe malfunction this time around.
Her silver gown boasted intricate lace with floral cutouts and a chic hip chain. Another feature that had users shook was her corset that cinched her waist to an extreme new level. One fan summed it up perfectly, saying, “Looks like a 12-inch waist!” The corset hugged her waist so snugly, accentuating her already stunning hourglass figure.

Back to the sweater, fans kept wondering why she paired such a random and unusual item with her lavish dress.
"Was there a wardrobe malfunction?!?!?" asked one user. Another user claimed, "Top of the dress must’ve broke. Trying to squeeze into a dress that’s too tight." "Looks like last minute wardrobe malfunction Kim," said another person.
The comments about a wardrobe mishap kept coming in. One fan commented, "Clearly a piece of the dress ripped or broke …"
However, in a chat with Vogue, the mother of four revealed the actual reason behind the sweater and how it fit into the overall theme of "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion."

The entire look was supposed to be "the wildest night of my life in a garden," as Kim is imagining herself running out and grabbing her "boyfriend's sweater and threw it on and had to get to work and my hair's all messed up." Will fans be convinced, though?
Speaking of hair, her new platinum blonde locks were effortlessly styled with a middle part, achieving that undone vibe. As for makeup, she opted for a mostly simple look, sporting a brown lip and fluttery lashes.
The event saw the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner crew in attendance, including Kardashian’s sisters Kylie and Kendall, as well as Kim's mother and her longtime boyfriend Corey Gamble.
