Kim Kardashian recently graced the red carpet at the 2014 MET Gala alongside her other half, rapper Kanye West. The reality star wore a custom strapless navy gown which featured a high leg slit by Lanvin which she teamed with t-bar heels and a simple black belt. However, Kim was seen exiting her hotel right before the event with a chunky statement belt and coordinating bracelets – so why didn’t she wear them on the red carpet? She has explained why she quickly ditched her accessories in exchange for more minimalist pieces. Kim wrote:
”It was such a tough decision on how to accessorise. I left the store with a chunky belt and leather cuffs. We were going back and forth for hours if the chunky belt was right. In the car on our way there we got a glimpse of the red carpet, and I decided the accessories were a bit too ‘rock ‘n’ roll’ and I wanted to go for something simple and elegant.”
As the theme for the night was inspired by Charles James, a designer who rose to prominence for his work in the 40s and 50s, Kim says she felt the new accessories just worked a lot better with the night’s overall vibe. Kim says she was happy with the results of her final look and thrilled to be on the red carpet for such a prestigious event:
”To me it felt more classic and fit the Forties theme better … Overall I thought it was the right decision and I loved the way everything came together.”
The dress did not do her figure any favors with or without a chunky belt.
Too bad the dress didn’t really follow the theme.
Also, it was NOT a 40’s theme and if it was her slit-to-the-vadge dress had nothing to do with it!
Haha, no I reckon she got in the car and Kanye made her change clothes!
I’m not feeling Kim Kardashian in this dress, not the greatest she’s worn.
she’s just trying to distract us from the fact that the President avoided her like the plague.
Nothing about Kim Kardashian is elegant. Trashy yes, elegant no.
Well, this outfit is way better than her outfit at last year’s Met Gala, remember how hideous that print dress was?!
