Met Gala 2019: Kim Kardashian hits red carpet in wet-looking, sheer dress

Kim Kardashian has rocked up to the Met Gala in a totally see-through, wet-looking, nude-coloured dress. Standard.

In true Kim Kardashian West fashion, the reality star has turned up to the Met Gala leaving very little to the imagination.

The 38-year-old business mogul, a red-carpet regular at the annual event, walked the pink carpet in a completely sheer, wet-looking custom Mugler dress.

Fit with plunging neckline and dangling crystal details, Kardashian West paired her knee-length dress with wet, wavy hair and dramatic smoky eyes.

She earlier tweeted a vintage photo of Sophia Loren in the 1957 movie Boy on a Dolphin, which was her inspiration for the camp-themed event.

Her outfit took eight months to make, with Kardashian West telling Vogue: “This is the first time in 20 years Mr Mugler has designed for the House of Mugler. So to come and design this gown for me is such an honour. He envisioned me this California girl stepping out of the ocean, wet, dripping.”

Kardashian West arrived at the event in New York alongside her husband Kanye West who was wearing an all-black outfit and seemed rather disinterested during interviews and photos.

It comes after Kardashian West made a shock admission she “went home and cried of insecurity” after her first Met Gala in 2013.

She shared a series of photos of herself at the event over the years, with comments about her favourite looks and behind-the-scenes emotional breakdowns.

“I didn’t know anyone & I’m sure no one wanted me there,” she wrote, adding: “I went home & cried after of insecurity but this is one of my fave looks now.”

Kardashian West and her mother, Kris Jenner, as well as her two half sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, are also at the event this year, which is themed around exaggerated style.
