Kim Kardashian has captivated the world’s attention at not one, but 11 Met Gala red carpets (and counting).
The Kardashians star made her debut on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City during the 2013 gala. At the time she was the plus-one of her then-husband, Kanye West, who was performing at the event. Kardashian was also pregnant with their first child, daughter North. (The exes, who were married from 2014 to 2022, also share daughter Chicago and sons Saint and Psalm.)
In 2015, the reality star channeled her inner Cher glowing in a Roberto Cavalli original. The designer used sheer crystal embroidery and feather detailing to create the stunning white gown with a lengthy train.
As Kardashian became a regular attendee of the New York City soirée, she opted for bolder — and even controversial — selections. In 2022, she faced backlash after she borrowed Marilyn Monroe’s famous Jean Louis gown for the spectacle. The historical slip dress, which the iconic movie star wore when she sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962, was loaned to Kardashian by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for the occasion. The reality star went on a strict diet to ensure the dress would fit, losing 16 pounds in three weeks.
Following the event, Kardashian was accused of damaging the item upon its return to the museum. However, she and Ripley refuted the accusations that the dress had additional rips and tears.
