Kim Kardashian arrived at the Met Gala 2023 covered in a sea of pearls, after being waved off by proud daughter North West.
The 42-year-old sparked a worldwide discussion at last year’s event, when she wore the exact gown that Marilyn Monroe chose to serenade President John F Kennedy for his birthday in 1962.
However, she went in a totally different direction for this year’s bash, instead donning countless pearls to honor Karl Lagerfeld.
She looked incredible in a cream Schiaparelli dress, which was adorned with strings upon strings of real pearls, covering her chest and legs.
The Kardashians star completed the look with white mini heels and a chunky silver necklace, with a crisp white coat flung across the back of her arms.
‘This year I just want it to feel glamorous. I really didn’t feel the pressure,’ she told Vogue of the look.

‘I just wanted to have a good time, I took a shot before I came with my sisters. My daughter was in the room with me, she is actually in the car watching us, you know, all walk up the red carpet so it was just like a glamorous night.’
Kim was seen leaving her hotel with eldest daughter North, leaving many convinced that we would be seeing the nine-year-old making her debut on the iconic carpet.
They had a matching moment as North’s outfit also featured pearl embellishments, she went in a different direction, pairing the jewelry with a very light pink blazer and jeans, and chunky black boots.

The budding fashionista finished her look off with a giant pearl clutch bag.
Although the youngster ultimately accompanied her mom to the red carpet, she remained in the car while the Skims designer posed up a storm.

It was previously claimed that Kim and her famous family hadn’t received invites after Vogue Editor Anna Wintour was said to be tightening up the guest list, but the reports were rubbished soon after.
Ahead of the appearance, the mom-of-four offered up a glimpse into the build up, revealing North had turned their swanky hotel room into a makeshift luxury spa.
In a brief Instagram video of the venue, white petals were strewn over the floor as flowers and candles covered every surface.
