Kim Kardashian knows how to promote her products. Last night at the Academy Museum Gala, she wore a piece from her new underwear line—on her face. Yes, Kim, who along with her mother recently unveiled an entirely new look, chose to cover her face with panties. Perhaps her new look hasn’t fully settled in yet, making this an unexpectedly wise fashion choice.
Of course, Kardashian’s mask was also a nod to old costumes famously worn by her ex-husband, Kanye West. As for Kanye, he is likely preoccupied with fending off lawsuits from investors in his failed bitcoin venture. So, a mask might be a smart move for him as well.
The Academy Museum Gala itself appeared to be a classy affair, with plenty of celebrities dressed elegantly. The red carpet host, British comedienne Amelia, showed she’s not afraid of catching a chest cold in the chilly evening. Only in Hollywood, kids—only in Hollywood.
It’s fascinating to see how people continue to tolerate this infamous family, no matter the spectacle.
