Yo, LA peeps, Kim Kardashian just redefined 'stealing the spotlight' at the fifth annual Academy Museum Gala right here in the heart of Los Angeles. The 44-year-old reality queen rolled up on Saturday night with a look that had jaws dropping from Hollywood to Venice Beach.
Instead of her usual glam slay, Kim went full mystery mode, rocking a nude, full-coverage mask that screamed high-fashion drama. Paired with a strapless corset gown from Maison Margiela's Fall 2025 Couture collection, as reported by People, this ensemble was straight-up next-level. We’re talking bold, we’re talking eerie, we’re talking pure Kim K energy.
The SKIMS mogul didn’t stop there - her fit was accessorized with crystal-studded chokers dripping with green gemstones and cross pendants, giving off major red-carpet royalty vibes. Even her long nude mani matched the monochrome palette, blending seamlessly into the whole avant-garde aesthetic. Only in LA, fam!
Kim knows how to keep it real, even when she’s serving up looks this wild. Over on Instagram, she gave her millions of followers a backstage pass to the chaos, sharing clips with her glam squad while still rocking that full-face cover.
"Mario, do I look ok? The makeup?" Kim teased her longtime celebrity makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, clearly loving the absurdity of the moment.
Mario played along like a true homie, replying with a straight face, "Your makeup looks amazing, yes." That kind of humor is why we stan - Kim’s got the confidence to pull off anything, and the personality to match. It’s all love and laughs behind the scenes in SoCal!
Let’s be real - only Kim Kardashian could pull off a full-face mask and make it a cultural moment. Social media is straight-up exploding with reactions, from fans hyping her daring style to others scratching their heads over this Malibu-style mystery. Love it or not, Kim’s got us all talking.
This isn’t just a red-carpet moment; it’s a reminder of why Kim stays winning in the 90210 and beyond.
