As one of the world’s most scrutinized celebrities, Kim Kardashian is no stranger to having her fashion choices dissected by the public. Last night, the 43-year-old mother of four joined a star-studded crowd at the LACMA Gala in Los Angeles, alongside luminaries like Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Billie Eilish, Salma Hayek, and Brad Pitt. The twelfth edition of this prestigious event, chaired by Leonardo DiCaprio, celebrated artist Judy Baca and director David Fincher, whose forthcoming film, “The Killer,” is set to debut on Netflix.
True to form, Kim made a bold fashion statement for the evening, donning an attention-grabbing neon pink gown with an extravagant Balenciaga couture train. Her dress featured a daring geometric back, complemented by contrasting black opera gloves and a diamond necklace.
However, her sartorial choice sparked a lively discussion on Reddit, with many offering alternative styling ideas for both Kim and her dress. One common critique was Kim’s decision not to wear earrings, leaving some to speculate that the outfit may have been a last-minute choice.
One Reddit user commented, “she doesn’t even have on earrings. I’m pretty sure this was thrown together in a rush.” Another added, “I wish she had earrings. Not massive ones. Just simple things.”
Yet, it was Kim’s gloves that drew the most criticism. Many suggested that they should have matched the pink of her dress or featured embellishments. Conversely, some believed the gloves should have been omitted entirely. “If she was going to wear the gloves, she should have made them pink,” one critic remarked. Another simply stated, “The gloves make the outfit look tacky.”
Kim’s slicked-back half-bun hairstyle also faced its share of derision. “I think the hair isn’t terrible, but a softer bun would have looked nice or something like a chignon,” one user offered as an alternative.
Nonetheless, amidst the critique, there were voices of approval for Kim’s audacious fashion choice. “I like when they try new things. This look has something a little different going on, which is nice to see in my opinion,” one supporter noted. Others echoed this sentiment, appreciating Kim’s embrace of classic Hollywood style.
