Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian is in the news again due to her fully covered black Met Gala outfit, but she joined the memes and joked about it by revealing a funny backstory. At the latest Met Gala event, Kim shocked many fans by wearing a unique dress covering her entire body. It looked like a dark mannequin type of style in which the 40-year-old beauty looked almost ghastly in appearance. She wore a black Balenciaga haute couture gown and added a face-covering black mask and gloves on top.

At first, some Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans were speculating that Kim was accompanied by her estranged husband, Kanye West, on the red carpet. But that wasn't true. SKIMS founder Kim attended the event with Demna Gvasalia, the creative director of Balenciaga. Since Kim's outfit was so unique and all-black, it received mixed reviews from fans and fashion enthusiasts. Her look went viral amongst national and international audiences, which triggered viral memes and jokes on Twitter. Some fans thought it was a genius move because Kim immediately became the most talked about person at the event, and she wasn't even visible.

But others couldn't help but mock Kim by saying that she wasted time on her makeup despite knowing that she would be covering her entire face with a mask. The Met Gala 2021 invitation went to a couple of Keeping With The Kardashians members. Kris Jenner, Kim, Kendall and Kylie all were on the list, but Kylie opted out at the last minute, presumably due to her pregnancy. Kim and Kendall met each other on the red carpet, and their meeting became iconic. Kim shared a picture from the event on her Instagram Story and revealed a funny backstory. She hilariously wrote, "Kendall was calling my name and I couldn't see who it was but I saw the outline of her sparkly dress."

It is hilarious that fans have also made fun of this outfit for the same reason, and now Kim has also chimed in. Many Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans like that Kim joked about her ensemble and didn't get offended. A fan commented on Reddit, "I love these glimpses into Kim's life that actually feel genuine like her recap of her met gala appearances." Another fan wrote, "Kim is fast becoming the funniest Kardashian lol. She seems to be jokey and laughs a lot lately."

Kanye's estranged wife, Kim, covered her whole body to make a new subculture and fashion statement. It seems like the inspiration for her look was none other than Kanye. He has been encouraging Kim to push herself creativity and show off her confidence through art. Even though the outfit was seemingly inspired by Kanye's vision, Kim carried it very well. Many Keeping Up With The Kardashians fans are applauding Kim for making a bold statement.
