Ever since she graced the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for her first Met Gala<\/a>\u00a0in 2013, Kim Kardashian<\/a> always delivered head-turning looks. She’s become one-to-watch at the annual f\u00eate, always putting on a sartorial spectacle.<\/p>\n

She may have just been ex-husband Kanye West<\/a>‘s plus-one in 2013, but today, Kardashian works with esteemed designers to pull off a one-of-a-kind design every year. She’s worked with Riccardo Tisci<\/a> during his tenure at Givenchy, Alber Elbaz<\/a> during his reign at Lanvin, Olivier Rousteing<\/a> of Balmain<\/a>, Demna of Balenciaga, Donatella Versace<\/a> as well as Thierry Mugler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kardashian’s looks haven’t come without controversy. She became meme-fodder after her pregnant appearance in a full-floral Givenchy gown, criticized for not adhering to the theme in her simplistic white Vivienne Westwood gown during the “Rei Kawakubo\/ Comme des Gar\u00e7ons: Art of the In-Between” exhibition and of course, she faced backlash for taking Marilyn Monroe\u2019s 1962 Swarovski crystal-embellished Jean Louis gown out of preservation last year. Despite the chatter, Kardashian’s walk up the Met staircase is always a highlight of the night.<\/p>\n

To refresh your memory, GRAZIA USA<\/em> gathered all of Kardashian’s Met Gala looks through the years.<\/p>\n

Despite rumors that the Kardashian-Jenner family would be banned<\/a> from this year’s Gala, Kardashian attended the grand affair with her youngest sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner. The\u00a0exhibition titled \u201cKarl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,<\/a>\u201d came with the dress code, \u201cin honor of Karl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kardashian wore a custom Schiaparelli look made entirely of pearls, designed by creative director Daniel Roseberry. “I wanted pearls,” she said on the red carpet. “I thought, ‘What is more Karl [than] the iconic Chanel pearls?” A perennial design staple of the late, great designer, Kardashian’s ensemble included a draped top and skirt made from over 16,000 crystals and over 50,000 freshwater pearls with a whitewashed faille stole and a blush satin molded corset. Kardashian continued, “I wanted to be dripping in pearls. I told my daughter to grab them all, they’re real pearls.” Recounting how a few began to pop off en route, Kardashian advised her eldest daughter North West to put the loose pearls in her purse to save.<\/p>\n

Styled by Danielle Levi, Kardashian accessorized with pearl drop earrings, an ornate bejeweled choker and an articulated ring, crafted from crystals and baroque pearls.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does, \u201cHappy Birthday, Mr. President\u201d ring a bell?\u00a0Kim Kardashian<\/a>\u00a0slipped into\u00a0Marilyn Monroe\u2019s 1962 Swarovski-covered shimmering Jean Louis dress<\/a>\u00a0for the 2022\u00a0Met Gala<\/a>, 60 years after the actress wore the gown to serenade President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden for his 45th<\/sup>\u00a0birthday. Originally sketched by Bob Mackie, who was working under Louis at the time, the gown was purchased by\u00a0Ripley\u2019s Believe It or Not<\/em><\/a>!\u00a0<\/em>in 2016. The dress choice caused quite a bit of\u00a0controversy<\/a>, opening a debate as to whether it\u2019s ethical to take historical garments out of preservation.<\/p>\n

Kardashian<\/a> celebrated the \u201cIn America: A Lexicon of Fashion\u201d exhibition in 2021 in a fully-cloaked Balenciaga creation by Demna. Shrouded in anonymity, the look spoke to how recognizable Kardashian<\/a>‘s figure is. At the time, the SKIMS mogul took to Instagram<\/a> to beg the question, “What\u2019s more American than a T-shirt head to toe?!”<\/p>\n
