Kim Kardashian had to be escorted up the Met Gala red carpet with a security guard after she nearly tripped over her dress.
Kim Kardashian turned heads at this year’s Met Gala, although it was her near tumble on the red carpet rather than her unique ensemble that captured everyone’s attention. This year, the illustrious event celebrates “black dandyism,” prompting A-listers to don personally tailored attire. Caught on camera was a visibly shaken 44-year-old star and entrepreneur scolding in a tense snap marring her glamorous walk amongst flashbulbs.

The reality TV queen graced the most anticipated evening in New York’s fashion scene alongside daughter North West, as tension brewed over potential drama with ex-husband Kanye West following an unsettling social media sketch. TikTok was ablaze with clips showing Kardashian almost toppling before spinning furiously to scold a security member. An apparent verbal chastisement directed towards the guard and a stern hand gesture punctuated Kim’s annoyance with the venue personnel, reports the Mirror.
Later seen entering the back of a vehicle to ascend the Metropolitan Museum of Art Steps, she seemed to glower toward the implicated staff member. If you missed it, revisit Kim Kardashian’s fashion evolution through the years.
For the occasion, Kardashian selected a form-fitting bodycon piece paired with bespoke leather elements and a Chrome Hearts fedora for good measure.
Drawing from the zoot suit revolution of 1930s’ African American fashion, noted the Mail, her outfit echoed an underworld chic. She accessorised her sombre look with a brilliant necklace cascading with diamonds and earrings to match.

Dressed to impress, young North nailed the look with a sleek cowhide jacket and shorts set, completed with chic black Nike high crew socks and lavish $1,200 Rick Owens black leather trainers.
While the youngster revelled in the welcoming lights of the high-profile bash, her father Kanye West has seemingly been exiled from the prestigious gala event, with sources claiming he’s on a permanent blacklist. To keep the unpredictable rapper at bay, especially after his social media stunt involving a video titled “MET BALL 2025”, where he’s spotted donning apparel strikingly similar to that of a Ku Klux Klan hood, security measures have reportedly been significantly ramped up.
