Kim Kardashian’s Pre-Met Gala Drama

On Monday night (May 5), Kim Kardashian nearly went viral — but not for the reason she hoped. A minor mishap with a security guard sparked an angry reaction just before the Met Gala.

A Striking Look

Kardashian wowed onlookers in a long black leather bodycon dress and oversized fedora, both by Chrome Hearts. She layered on diamond necklaces and earrings, completing a bold homage to the zoot suits worn by Black men in the 1930s and 1940s. This choice fit perfectly with the gala’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which celebrated Black fashion and identity, especially in menswear.

The Misstep

While making a dramatic slow-motion entrance with her daughter North West, Kim’s moment was nearly ruined. A security guard accidentally stepped on her dress. Instantly, Kardashian spun around, shot a sharp remark, and raised her hand in frustration. Yet, she quickly recovered, flicking her hair and continuing toward the car with her signature poise.

Social Media Reacts

Naturally, the incident hit TikTok within minutes. Users eagerly weighed in. One commented, “It’s the hair flick for me.” Another added, “Boy, don’t mess this up for me!” Many praised her resilience, while some noticed that 11-year-old North didn’t look thrilled despite having shared TikToks with her mom earlier that evening.

Still a Showstopper

Even with the stumble, Kim’s look dominated headlines. Though North couldn’t attend the gala itself (guests must be 18+), her presence alongside Kim added to the media buzz. In the end, Kardashian’s Met Gala moment proved unforgettable — for reasons both planned and unplanned.
