American socialite and reality TV show personality Kim Kardashian stole the spotlight at the Met Gala 2021 red carpet by going completely undercover. Yes, you read that right. On Tuesday, the star arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City with Balenciaga designer Demna Gvasalia wearing Balenciaga shrouds over her face.
Kim's outfit instantly became the talk of the town and was immediately titled one of her splashiest fashion moments of 2021. She walked the red carpet solo covering up her face in an all-black head-to-toe Balenciaga ensemble teamed with a ponytail and heels.
According to TMZ, Kim was encouraged to wear the bold and bizarre Balenciaga look by Kanye West. Several sources told the outlet, "He (Kanye) gave Kim the courage to push the envelope with creativity and people's imagination through art."
