Kim Kardashian’s Bold Fashion Choice Sparks Online Reactions
Kim Kardashian isn’t shy when it comes to her fashion statements. On Saturday, at the 5th Academy Museum Gala, the founder of SKIMS was seen in a strapless, nude-colored corseted dress from Maison Margiela’s Fall/Winter 2025 Couture collection. Surprisingly, she complemented her outfit with a mask that completely covered her face.
This choice led to a variety of reactions online. Some viewers found it quite odd. One user mentioned that watching her struggle to breathe seemed unnecessary and, honestly, a little distracting. “Fashion would be easier to appreciate as ‘art’ if we didn’t think about how it feels to wear,” they suggested.
Another person chimed in, “This is so weird.” And one user provocatively asked, “What is she hiding?” There was a clear divide in opinions, as some people defended her daring move. One fan even boldly declared, “I actually like this.”
Before the gala, Kardashian teased fans about her look in a video shared on Instagram, asking her makeup artist Mario Dedivanoic if she looked okay. He jokingly assured her that her makeup was great, to which she replied playfully about the effort it took to achieve that look.
This isn’t the first instance where Kardashian has faced backlash regarding her fashion choices. Recently, she and her daughter North—as young as 12—provoked criticism for their outfits during a photo session in Rome. Kardashian later addressed the social media uproar on a podcast, suggesting that the ongoing scrutiny can be overwhelming for parents of teenagers.
In her discussion, she noted, “Everyone raising kids, especially four on their own, is doing their best.” She went on to request more understanding, especially for single moms navigating the complexities of raising children.
The reality star also shared a little insight about her daughter’s fashion experimentation, acknowledging the challenges of parenting in the spotlight. In the end, it’s a learning process for both her and North, reflecting the everyday struggles many can relate to.
