Kim Kardashian had a bit of fun with her fans and haters this weekend, dressing up as herself from the 2013 Met Gala.
“Still fits,” she wrote on Instagram.
It was an outfit that drew comparisons to sofa patterns, but Kardashian was proud of her bespoke Givenchy look, which included matching gloves and shoes.
The reality star arrived at her first Costume Institute Gala in May 2013 on the arm of boyfriend/baby daddy Kanye West, pregnant as hell with daughter, North, whom she would deliver the following month.
It wasn’t an easy pregnancy for Kardashian, who not only suffered from health issues, but got the sartorial crap kick out of her by anyone with a keyboard. Sure enough, as soon as photos from one of the biggest events of the year started rolling in, so did the comments.
Even Kardashian’s own sister, Khloe, had something to say about the look.
“I think Kim is beautiful,” Khloe told Today‘s Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford at the time. “I wish, like, the gloves … I just felt like it was too covered somehow, just because her body, her boobs, her belly … just all looked like one.”
I think the costume is rather brilliant. Maybe next year I’ll sport something from the Delia*s catalog circa 1997.
