And once again to set the red carpet on fire, the much-loved Kim Kardashian has arrived at the event, and she has already turned every head possible.
After Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner, it is Kim Kardashian who has taken the Met Gala 2026 red carpet by storm. The Kardashian-Jenner sisters are known for turning heads at the Met Gala, and this year was no different. As soon as they stepped on the carpet, the netizens were already talking about their looks, and with Kim's bold choice for the night, they were further intrigued. For the unversed, Kim wore an orange breastplate leotard paired with a two-toned, bronzy-orange open skirt. The star completed her look by going blonde for the night. However, her pointy armour seems to have made fans wonder if it is in theme with the dress code.
Kim Kardashian chose to wear a custom Allen Jones and Whitaker Malem number for the 2026 Met Gala. The theme for the night was Costume Art, and the dress code was announced as Fashion is Art, and Kim might have just channelled it right. Well, ever since Kim made her first appearance, fans have been wondering how her attire is related to the theme in any way. However, fans might be surprised to know that it is actually one of the most on-point looks from the night. For the unversed, Allen Jones is a legendary British pop artist, and Kim Kardashian actually got his help to make sure her ensemble fit the theme.
In the Vogue livestream, Kim Kardashian revealed why she chose this look. The reality star admitted she chose to work with Allen Jones for the 2026 Met Gala because he is one of her favourite artists of all time. However, what made the collaboration even more interesting was that her outfit actually had a connection to the 1960s. Kim shared that the orange breastplate was actually made from the mould of a model from back in the day, meaning she truly used art from a legend to create her look, making it perfectly on theme. She was quoted as saying:
"One of my favourite artists is Allen Jones. We took his body plates that he started making in the 60s. This is actually a mould from a model in the 60s...we all worked together."
Kim Kardashian shared a series of pictures from the 2026 Met Gala on her Instagram. However, the orange breastplate was not the only outfit she created with Allen Jones and Whitaker Malem. As it turns out, the reality star had two other outfits for the night. Her second outfit was a bodysuit-inspired look. The front is perfectly panelled, while the back only consists of thick straps to hold the structure in place, creating a bold negative-space effect. On the other hand, she also posted a picture in a full-length, structured silver bodysuit. Her third look consisted of a blue full-sleeved crop top with matching stockings and heels, and a pink lower with exposed back and front.
