Every Single Time the Kardashians Have Rocked the Met Gala Red Carpet
With the 2025 Met Gala finally wrapped up, there is one famous family that we know we can always count on to pull off an extravagant appearance on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art — the Kardashian-Jenners. While Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner are basically Met Gala vets at this point, Kylie Jenner and momager Kris Jenner are pretty frequent guests, too. Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian finally made their debuts for the 2022 Gala: Part Two of In America: An Anthology of Fashion. In 2024, Kim, Kylie, Kendall and Kris all attended the event themed 'The Garden of Time.' In 2025, momager Kris decided to sit out while Kim, Kylie and Kendall all made stylish appearances. From sparkling cutout gowns to colorful suits, the Kardashian-Jenner family always arrives in something that makes headlines (for better or for worse!) Sometimes, people are obsessed with their looks, like Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner's colorful showgirl-inspired looks from 2019. And then there are looks that cause insane controversy, like Kim's 2022 Marilyn Monroe dress. Let's check out every single time the Kardashians and Jenners arrived at the Met Gala over the years below.

Kylie Jenner looked as gorgeous as ever at the 2025 Gala in this custom Ferragamo look that included a sheer boned torso with matching sheer gloves. Kendall Jenner wore one of her most covered-up Met Gala looks to date in 2025 in this dark gray Torishéju blazer and skirt. Kim Kardashian showed off her hourglass figure in this custom Maison Margiela Couture dress that consisted of a mesmerizing silver gown with leaf-shaped chainmail and a gray shawl on top. Kylie Jenner opted for a classic look at the 2024 Met Gala in this pearl-colored strapless Givenchy archive dress. Kendall Jenner looked straight from a fantasy movie in this black 1999 archive Givenchy gown with a cutout along the waist. Kris Jenner looked so chic on the Met Gala carpet in this eggshell-colored dress and matching floral-detailed cape by Oscar de la Renta. For the 2023 Met Gala, Kendall Jenner rocked her most daring look to date: a long-sleeved sparkling black custom Marc Jacobs jumpsuit that showed off her long legs. Kim Kardashian at the 2023 Met Gala: Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2023 in New York, New York. Kylie Jenner took a note from Blake Lively's matching-the-carpet motif by rocking this red and blue custom Jean Paul Gaultier gown. Kris Jenner channeled her inner Jackie Kennedy in this one-shoulder pastel yellow gown from Oscar de la Renta. For the 2022 Met Gala, Kim Kardashian wore the most controversial look of the night: the same sparkling dress Marilyn Monroe famously wore while singing 'Happy Birthday Mr. President' to John F. Kennedy. Whether you loved it or loathed it, the moment will go down in fashion history. For the 2022 Met Gala Celebrating In America: An Anthology of Fashion, Kourtney Kardashian donned this multi-colored ensemble from Thom Browne. For her first Met Gala, Khloé Kardashian arrived in a truly showstopping ensemble. For the theme of part 2 of In America: An Anthology of Fashion, she fonned a 1920s-inspired gold and black ensemble from Mosschino. For her look, she wore a sparkling fringe gold gown, with elaborate black silk gloves. Kylie Jenner decided to use the 2022 Met Gala to honor her friend: Off-White's late founder, Virgil Abloh, who designed this ruffled, dramatic white wedding dress. Kendall Jenner's dramatic black ballgown for the 2022 Met Gala was a serious serve. She donned the two-piece look from Prada, and no one could take their eyes off her! Probably one of Kendall Jenner's best red carpet looks ever is this sparkling naked dress from Givenchy Haute Couture. Remember when Kim Kardashian arrived in a truly all-black look from Balenciaga? Kris Jenner kept this simple and dark in this all-black suit ensemble from Tom Ford. Again, like her sister Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner really went out there for her 2019 Met Gala look Celebrating Camp: Notes on Fashion. She rocked this showgirl-inspired beaded and feathered Versace look that people still talk about today. For the 2019 Met Gala, Kylie Jenner wore one of the most memorable looks of the night: a Swarovski crystal-embroidered Atelier Versace gown composed of poofy feathered purple sleeves and a naked dress element. Back in 2019, Kim Kardashian donned her most iconic Met Gala look to date: a silicone and organza mini dress. The iconic custom Thierry Mugler 'dripping wet' dress remains one of the best Met Gala looks to date. Kris Jenner truly embodied the 2019 theme of Celebrating Camp: Notes On Fashion in this elaborate custom Tommy Hilfiger ensemble. For her blue look, she wore a silky navy jumpsuit and a muted blue ruffled jacket. Kim Kardashian looked like a golden goddess in this structured Versace gown for the theme Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination. Like her sister Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner arrived in a more simple look for the 2018 Met Gala. She donned an off-the-shoulder white jumpsuit from Off-White, which was all about showing simplicity and an angelic vibe! So here's the thing: Kylie Jenner's all-black Alexander Wang design was a controversial one. While everyone thought she looked gorgeous, many thought it didn't fit the elaborate theme of Heavenly Bodies: Fashion & The Catholic Imagination. (And if you noticed the zipper detail, per People, Jenner's stylists added it because the dress ripped when she put it on!) Kris Jenner's black and gold Tommy Hilfiger gown for the 2018 Met Gala was fan favorite from the KarJennner clan that year. For her look, she donned a gown of a sheer mesh top and feathered bottom, which was attached with gold embellishments. While Kim Kardashian kept things very simple for the 2017 Met Gala, because for the theme of Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between, she arrived solo and in style with this white Vivienne Westwood gown. For the 2017 Met Gala theme of Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between, Kendall Jenner donned her most iconic Met Gala look yet: the cutout, high-slit netted La Perla gown. Kylie Jenner did a total 180 with her next Met Gala appearance by not only donning a platinum blonde hairdo, but rocking a warm-toned, crystal-embellished naked dress from Versace. For the Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology theme in 2016, Kris Jenner unleashed her dark feminine energy in this glittering sequined gown by Balmain. (And this was the year she brought her beau Corey Gamble as her date!) For her debut at the 2016 Met Gala, she rocked the theme of Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology by wowing in this sparkling paneled silver Balmain design. One of Kim Kardashian's most well-known Met Gala looks is this high-slit metallic gown by Olivier Rousteing for Balmain. For the Met Gala themed Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology, Kendall Jenner donned this cutout white and blue illusion-like Atelier Versace gown. One look that doesn't get talked about enough is Kim Kardashian's naked feathered white gown by Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli that she wore to the 2015 Met Gala: China: Through The Looking Glass. For the theme China: Through The Looking Glass, Kendall Jenner wore this shimmering green ombre Calvin Kelin gown with cutout detailing on the side. For Kris Jenner's Met Gala debut in 2015, she donned this bold, draped red Balmain gown with gold and black jewelry throughout. For Kendall Jenner's Met Gala debut in 2014, she wowed in a custom cream-colored strapless corset dress by Topshop. Back in 2014, Kim Kardashian wowed in this strapless blue satin gown by Alber Elbaz for Lanvin. Back in 2013, Kim Kardashian met her Met Gala debut for the themed gala of PUNK: Chaos to Couture, where she arrived as Kanye West's plus one. For her debut, she rocked this floral, high-slit gown by Ricardo Tisci for Givenchy.

The book behind the Met Gala: Monica L Miller's ‘Slaves to Fashion' and the politics of Black Dandyism
When Monica L Miller published Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity in 2009, few could have predicted that her academic study of Black style, identity, and resistance would one day shape the theme of fashion's most closely watched event. But this year, the Met Gala — known as much for its couture spectacle as for its cultural references — turned to Miller's work for inspiration, putting Black dandyism centre stage. Held annually to benefit the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Met Gala has in recent years looked to literature for thematic cues. In 2024, JG Ballard's 1962 short story 'The Garden of Time' offered a meditation on beauty, decay, and temporal fragility. This year, Miller, a professor and chair of Africana Studies at Barnard College, served as an inspiration. Published by Duke University Press, Slaves to Fashion examines how, from Enlightenment England to contemporary culture, Black men have appropriated the codes of high fashion, often born from European colonial contexts, to construct alternative, powerful identities. 'Dandyism is by definition an act of refusal to fit into or even accept given or typical categories of identity,' Miller said during remarks at the Gala's press preview, as quoted in the Vogue. The book — which received the 2010 William Sanders Scarborough Prize for the best book in African American literature and culture from the Modern Language Association (MLA) and was shortlisted for the 2010 Modernist Studies Association Book Prize — maps a lineage of style that includes Julius Soubise, an 18th-century freedman who wore diamond-buckled, red-heeled shoes; American sociologist W E B Du Bois, who embraced the aesthetic in his youth; and contemporary figures such as rappers Sean Combs aka Diddy and André 3000. Yinka Shonibare, the Afro-British artist known for the photographic suite, 'Diary of a Victorian Dandy', also features in Miller's analysis. The dandy's wardrobe becomes, in Miller's reading, a site of cultural reclamation. 'Luxury slaves,' as they were once called in 18th-century England, were Black servants styled in aristocratic garb by their masters. But, Miller shows how these individuals subverted these symbols . 'Tweaking and reworking their uniforms,' she writes, they carved out new new class identities. On June 3, Yale University Press will release, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', a hardcover companion book for this year's Met gala. It has been authored by Miller, who is the guest curator for this year's exhibition, and Costume Institute Curator in Charge, Andrew Bolton. The book traces the legacy of Black menswear across three centuries —from hip-hop aesthetic and popular street trends, through its use during the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights movement. As conversations about race, representation, and cultural appropriation continue to evolve in art and fashion, the two books are a study on how style can speak volumes.

Over his shoulders, Smith styled a cape in a black-and-white stripe and checkered pattern that added further definition and drama to his attire. The standout element of Smith's look, however, was the abstract, experimental headpiece he wore. Across his face and strewn through his locks, Smith wore a wiry headpiece that may have had significance and connection to the ink pen he was carrying as well. The effect gave off an extra dose of drama and obscurity to rather straightforward tailored attire. Jaden Smith at Met Gala on May 5 in New York City. To complete his look, Smith wore the New Balance 1906L Croc Patent Loafer in black. The choice gave Smith's attire even more edge and a dash of modernity. Smith was named a New Balance ambassador in 2019. At the 2024 Met Gala, Smith opted for another iteration on tailored styling. For 'The Garden of Time' theme, Smith wore a custom Thom Browne coat in white denim, paired with a quilted white oxford shirt left unbuttoned to reveal his chest, accentuated with white and pink dahlias.

Katy Perry at Met Gala 2025? See how AI images of the singer fool everyone and cause a stir online
recently caused a massive storm online over her photos at the Met Gala , which shortly went viral. Even though the actress looked stunning, was it truly Katy Perry? Before the event commenced, the official guest list was leaked, and Perry's name was missing from the list. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Was Katy Perry actually at the Met Gala this year? The truth is that while the photos may seem hyper-realistic and true, they were made entirely by AI (artificial intelligence). The singer could be seen donning a black latex gown with a pinstripe suit jacket; however, it was revealed that the singer was in reality not present at the event. When the photos went viral, many even pointed out that the outfit outshone and was better than a lot of other attendees. After a while, though, many on social media platforms pointed out that the images were, in fact, false and created with AI. Not the first time AI Katy has made an appearance at the Met Did you know that this is not the first time that an AI-generated Katy Perry at the Met Gala has gone viral online? The singer was also not present at the gala last year, and to make up for her absence, AI-generated images had been used. The photos made artificially featured the singer in a dramatic and almost fairytale-like ensemble. Katy Perry could be seen donning a beautiful floor-length ball gown with flowery details on it to match last year's theme, 'The Garden of Time'. Katy Perry's response to last year's AI images While the singer has not yet issued any statement about the images this year, she shared a wittily funny post online for last year's images. She had shared that she 'couldn't make it to the MET; had to work.' Why was the star not at the Met Gala 2025 The star not being present at this year's gala was not a major surprise, as she is currently on tour. Katy Perry is currently on tour on her 'The Lifetimes Tour', where she is all set to perform in Houston tomorrow, according to a report from The Daily Mail. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Her schedule made it almost impossible for her to grace the red carpet at this year's Met Gala. Along with Katy Perry, a lot of other celebrities who are usually present at the event ended up missing this year for various reasons. Names like Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Beyoncé Ariana Grande, and Lady Gaga were all missing from this year's roster.

Kim Kardashian, Kylie and Kendall Jenner match in monochrome at the 2025 Met Gala
Kim Kardashian, Kylie and Kendall Jenner match in monochrome at the 2025 Met Gala Show Caption Hide Caption Black dandyism: Met Gala to highlight Black influence in fashion Black dandys and clothiers are being celebrated with this year's Met Gala theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The Kardashians are keeping up with the Met Gala. Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner all turned out — and turned heads — for fashion's biggest night at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5. Their outfits showed how the reality stars interpreted the evening's dress code, "Tailored for You," and its theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." The sisters arrived later in the evening, matching as a family in shades of black and gray. This was the latest Met Gala for the Kardashian-Jenner clan. They previously stepped out at the 2024 event, which had a dress code of "The Garden of Time" and a theme of "Sleeping Beauties." That year, Kim Kardashian stunned in a floral Maison Margiela dress, while Kendall Jenner wore a sleek Givenchy Haute Couture item, and Kylie Jenner chose Oscar de la Renta. Scroll through to see how the sisters stunned on the red carpet. Kim Kardashian rocks low-rise leather skirt for 2025 Met Gala Kardashian loves a painted-on look, and the 2025 Met Gala was no different. She donned a custom black two-piece leather outfit from Hollywood's own Chrome Hearts, effectively bringing her hometown of Los Angeles to the Big Apple. The leather appeared to have a crocodile-like texture. The bustier-style top complemented a floor-length skirt that featured a short train and was low-cut in the back. Because more is more, she styled it with a massive statement silver necklace and matching wide-brimmed leather hat. Her jewelry was from Moussaieff. Kardashian is very familiar with sacrificing comfort for a fashion statement. In an episode of "The Kardashians" that aired earlier this year, Kardashian recalled how she struggled to breathe in the tight dress she wore to the 2024 Met Gala. "I'm literally going to throw up," she said in footage from the evening. "I've never been more comfortable." Her mother, Kris Jenner, joked on the episode that she asked Kardashian, "Are you ever going to wear a dress to the Met where you actually can walk?" But Kardashian remarked in an interview on the show, "If you look good, it is all worth it." The Kardashians have attended the Met Gala many times, with Kim Kardashian having made her debut in 2013, when she was pregnant with daughter North West. In 2022, Kardashian famously wore a dress once worn by Marilyn Monroe to the event, where she was joined by her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson. The following year, she wore a custom Schiaparelli ensemble for the 2023 Met Gala, whose theme honored late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. Kendall Jenner honors Harlem Renaissance musician Gladys Bentley Kendall Jenner sought out fresh blood for her 2025 outfit. So she turned to up-and-coming British designer Torishéju Dumi, who pulled together a look inspired by Harlem Renaissance musician Gladys Bentley, per British Vogue. The severe-looking dark gray structured blazer featured a peplum flare-out at the bottom and a plunging neckline that was accented by a silver statement necklace, similar to sister Kim. While loose, the skirt accentuated the runway model's physique and had a modest train. Bentley, as described by Smithsonian Magazine in 2019, "was ahead of her time for proudly loving other women, wearing men's clothing and singing bawdy songs." She was known for appearing in a three-piece suit and a top hat. "I had a vision of being very minimal and tailored for this Met, and I went on the hunt to find something interesting and fresh and super exciting to me. Finding a new, young designer was the vision," Kendall told British Vogue. The look involved 100 feet of deadstock fabric — "It's all about using what you have," Dumi told British Vogue — and 242 hours of work. Dumi explained, "The drama isn't really in the color. It's more in the cut and the silhouette." Kylie Jenner 'stole' the show at 2025 Met Gala Like older sister Kim, Kylie also opted for a form-fitting bodice. She arrived on the blue carpet in a dramatic black-and-gray piece from Ferragamo, accompanied by designer Maximilian Davis. The torso portion was sheer black and matched Kylie's opera gloves. And speaking of accessories, the Kylie Cosmetics founder was wrapped up in a black satin stole that fanned out across the carpet. Contributing: Edward Segarra, USA TODAY
