Halloween came early for Kim Kardashian. The Skims co-founder attended the star-studded Academy Museum Gala 2025 on Saturday night and stunned fans with her bold look.
Kardashian paired a nude-colored, face-obscuring mask with a strapless, corseted Maison Margiela gown. The dress featured draped sleeves that attached to the hem, making a dramatic statement on the red carpet.
The “Kardashians” star joked about her incognito appearance while getting the “final touches” from her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic. “Mario, do I look OK? The make-up?” she asked in a clip Dedivanovic shared on his Instagram Stories. The makeup artist lightheartedly replied, “Your make-up looks amazing, yes.” Kardashian, 44, quipped, “It’s good? All that hard work, guys.”
Despite the star’s confidence, several fans took to social media platform X to share their disdain for the mom of four’s look. One user tweeted, “I KNOW NORTH never approved this!!” referencing Kardashian’s 12-year-old daughter, North West. Another commented, “Nothing to look at here. She completely missed the assignment.”
Additional critiques included: “People who like this, seriously what is wrong with you? Bring this attention seeker to the psych ward please. Nothing normal about it,” and “She tries so hard to be relevant in fashion but her looks are always misses.”
Some X users also suggested that Kardashian was mimicking her ex-husband Kanye West’s style with the face mask. “You can still see the Kanye in her,” one fan wrote. Another added, “She misses Kanye I see. Because this is ridiculous.”
This isn’t Kardashian’s first time wearing a full face mask at a major event. She previously sported a similar look at the Met Gala in 2021, channeling West in an all-black Balenciaga outfit. The ensemble included a tunic-length T-shirt, bodysuit, elbow-length gloves, and “Pantaleggings” with built-in high heels.
Kim Kardashian continues to push fashion boundaries, sparking both admiration and controversy with her daring choices.
