Kim Kardashian’s inspiration for sculpted Met Gala look with controversial backstory is revealed
Kim Kardashian‘s inspiration for her sculpted fembot look that she donned at the 2026 Met Gala has been revealed.
The 45-year-old TV personality – who recently delivered an emotional speech while attending a Broadway play – unveiled the unique ensemble as she walked the red carpet alongside other stars on Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
She put on a leggy display in an orange metallic bodysuit by British artist Allen Jones and Whitaker Malem that had a custom-molded breast plate on the front.
Leather material fell down behind her and contained hues of both tan and vibrant orange.
The outfit took inspiration from Jones’ poster for the 1975 French erotic film Maîtresse and was controversial in both the U.S. and U.K. upon its release.
The project received an X rating in the United States.
