Kim Kardashian has arrived at the 2023 Met Gala—and she brought eldest daughter North West as her date.
Despite rumors earlier this year that the Kardashian-Jenner clan would not be invited to this year's event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Kardashian indeed showed out on the red carpet in a look that would have made Karl Lagerfeld proud.
The SKIMS founder's maximalist outfit consisted of a white midi dress by Schiaparelli made entirely of strands of pearls—and reminiscent of the pearl look she wore on her 2007 Playboy cover. It also featured a silky corset bodice and bra in a golden hue. Kardashian finished the bold ensemble with a massive diamond-and-pearl choker, diamond stud earrings, white sandals encrusted with pearls, and a matching pearl anklet. She additionally wore an airy white jacket and opted for bronzy makeup and a dramatic updo.

Daughter North, meanwhile, showed off her more casual style in a white-and-pink tweet jacket by Chanel, relaxed light blue jeans, chunky black boots, and layers of Chanel necklaces. She added more shimmer with diamond earrings and a pearl-shaped clutch.
Before the Met Gala, Kardashian threw a fun and relaxing girls' night with sister Khloé Kardashian and some of their friends. The group attended an Usher concert before enjoying massages in their Karl Lagerfeld-themed hotel suite.
Kardashian was a longtime friend of the former Chanel creative director. When he died on February 19, 2019, Kardashian shared a message on social media mourning the loss. "We lost a true legend!!!! You were such an inspiration to the world! You shot my first fashion shoot and I was so nervous to work with such an icon!" she wrote on Instagram alongside a series of photos with Lagerfeld.
"The world is so much chicer because you existed! I am beyond honored to have met you and had the opportunity to work with you. You are so loved and will be so missed 💔," she added at the time.
