For this year’s major fashion event, the 44-year-old wore a chic and snug faux leather off-shoulder gown and a huge cowgirl hat, which was in co-ordination with the theme of “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

Her dress also featured white pearls dangling from the front to the back.

Taking to Instagram, Kim showcased her look and wrote, "2025 Met Gala: Superfine Tailoring and Black Style. Inspired by Lenny Kravitz, a modern dandy whose fluid, bold aesthetic, alongside icons like Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, pioneered distinct and culturally significant aesthetics - shaping the way men dress for generations to come. Lenny’s signature Chrome Hearts style perfectly captures the spirit of this theme - Black style, razor-sharp tailoring, and dandy tradition."

USA Today reported that the theme was inspired by the 2009 Monica L Miller book, ‘Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity’.

Meanwhile, it was reported that Kim went to the 2025 exhibition with her eldest daughter, North.

But the 11-year-old did not go inside the venue since attendees have to be 18 to be a part of the event, which was hosted by co-chairs A$AP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, and Colman Domingo.

At the time, she lost 16 lbs to fit inside the dress. Kim shared, as per PEOPLE, “To me it was like, 'OK, Christian Bale can do it for a movie role and that is acceptable. Even Renee Zellweger gained weight for a role. It's all the same to me.”
