Theories for which the businesswoman chose the outfit are soaring, and among them is the visibility of the suffering of Afghan women or criticism of social networks
While half the world anxiously awaited the current edition of the MET gala, after a year without being held due to the pandemic, Kim Kardashian once again managed to focus exclusively on her.
Kim made her stellar appearance on the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, dressed from head to toe in a black jumpsuit by Demna Gvasalia for Balenciaga that covered her entire body, including her face, which was covered by a balaclava The suit was fused with long boots, a tail, gloves, a turtleneck sweater and the aforementioned balaclava, giving the feeling of being all one garment. What Kim did let see was her characteristic false ponytail, which reached the ground and also her unmistakable figure.
The truth is that the styling should not be surprising, taking into account the latest public appearances of the influencer and businesswoman. In her social networks, where she shares many of her looks on a daily basis, the celebrity had already been seen with very similar outfits that did not allow us to see her face. Just a few days ago, Kim posted on Instagram a sequence of images in which she could be seen with high pointed boots that were joined with a black trench coat and a mask that completely covered her face.
Rafael Muñoz, fashion expert at RTVE, believes that Demna Gvasalia, the Georgian designer who signs this curious Balenciaga suit, "has been using masks in his collections for some time as a reference to his roots, to the wars he has lived through since he was a child, to refugees, but above all, to non-regulatory bodies. He advocates dressing everyone, "says Muñoz.
Likewise, Muñoz believes that it is also a criticism of the world of social networks, the need for continuous approval, filters, normative beauty... "It is very interesting that a celebrity like Kim, who lives off her body and her face as an influencer, she covers up and we all recognize her. In current fashion there is a return to showing off the body, like transparencies and on the contrary, to cover up the body and be anti-image, anti-Instagramer", concludes Muñoz.
However, there are many who have thought about the current situation of women in Afghanistan after the Taliban took power and think that this suit would be a vindication of the suffering of Afghan women to help make the population aware of such injustice.
The truth is that the strange styling of the businesswoman has not left anyone indifferent and her outfit, the center of so many looks, comments and criticism in real life, has also been the target of interpretations and memes on social networks.
In this sense, there have been many users who have compared her
outfit to a dementor, the evil character from the Harry Potter saga, others,
on the other hand, have referred to the paranormal world and have fantasized
about the idea that Kim appeared like this dressed in her nightmares.
