Kim Kardashian stuns on Met Gala red carpet in dramatic pearl outfit

Kim Kardashian's Met Gala outfit was eagerly anticipated - and it didn't disappoint.

The reality TV star, 42, looked stunning in a pearl outfit as she hit the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

She admitted she "took a shot" with her sisters before the event and daughter North was in the car watching from afar as she took to the red carpet.

Kim insisted that this year she "wanted to feel glamorous" at the biggest event of the year in the fashion calendar.

The pearl-adorned naked outfit clung perfectly to her hourglass figure and she completed the look with a stunning cream throw.

The pearls draped over her chest and hung by her waist as she complimented the look with several stunning pieces of jewellery, including a choker necklace which - yes, you guessed it - was made with pearls.

She wore her tresses up with bangs curled down and her smokey makeup allowed her to shoot her sultry pose in the direction of onlookers.

Kim has been a regular at the exclusive even since her debut in 2013 with then-fiance Kanye West, who was performing.

The business mogul was pregnant with her first child, North West, at the time, and stunned in a flowing custom Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci dress.

She has turned heads in a number of lavish outfits in the years that followed, none more so than last year's controversial decision to wear Marilyn Monroe's iconic golden dress she wore to sing happy birthday to John F Kennedy over 60 years ago.

Kim borrowed the garment from Ripley's Believe It Or Not and had to lose 16lbs in a matter of weeks to make sure she fitted into the outfit.

Despite the criticism from some, including Piers Morgan, Kim looked radiant in the gown as she attended arm in arm with Pete Davidson.

It was far from the first eye-catching look by the SKIMS founder, though. In 2019, she showed off her hour-glass figure in a bronzed Thierry Mugler dress.

It was the designer's first new creation in almost two decades and showed off his vision of Kim as "this California girl stepping out of the ocean, wet, dripping".

The look was complete with a dramatic corset which Kim later revealed was far from comfortable, labelling the garment "insane".

"I have never felt pain like that in my life," she told the WSJ Magazine at the time.

In 2021, she opted for a full Balenciaga black outfit - together with a matching mask.

The morph suit-esque design brought a number of remarks of what it resembled from a gimp mask to a Harry Potter tormentor.
