Her futuristic ensemble featured a tangerine fibreglass breastplate that accentuated her curves, complete with sculpted details like pointed contours and a defined navel. She paired it with leather trail and matching beige heels.
Speaking about the Kim's look, Jones told Vogue that she has repurposed a cast from 1967 or 1968.
“I wanted something original—I didn’t want to cast my own body,” Jones shared before revealing that the outfit took three weeks from sourcing the fibreglass to painting the breastplate at an auto body shop.
Initially, it was a full-body cast. But it was Kim who needed to be in a body suit.
For the night and her look, she dyed her hair blonde and kept he makeup minimal. The business mogul, who is currently dating Formula One legend Lewis Hamilton, unexpectedly arrived solo. However, her dates for the night were her sisters and mother, Kris Jenner.
The night wrapped on a high note as celebrities from around the world took to the red carpet in outfits that were not just show-stopping but worthy of Met Gala history. Check all the looks here.
