Kim Kardashian Arrives at Academy Museum Gala in Full-Face Margiela Mask

Kardashian called the nude Margiela veil a last-minute, SKIMS-inspired choice with full glam underneath.

Overview

  • The 44-year-old wore Maison Margiela couture by Glenn Martens, covering her head and face in a nude fabric mask paired with a corseted gown.
  • She told Variety she flew in makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, had full hair and makeup beneath the mask, and expected to remove the covering once inside.
  • Because visibility was limited, handlers guided her on arrival, as documented in red-carpet video and photos.
  • Her look mirrored the runway styling with a layered diamond-and-emerald choker and matching rings, and she posted backstage clips on Instagram.
  • Coverage notes polarized reactions and comparisons to her 2021 masked Met Gala look, while the fifth annual gala honored Penélope Cruz, Walter Salles, Bowen Yang and Bruce Springsteen and raised about $12 million.
