If there's one star who always brings her glam A-game to the Met Gala red carpet, it's Kim Kardashian takes the Met Gala very seriously, even going so far as to bleach her hair platinum blonde right before the 2022 Gala, when she wore Marilyn Monroe's “Happy Birthday” dress.

Many fans speculated Kardashian would be blonde for the gala, and they were right — she did it again! For the 2024 event, Kardashian and her team, including hairstylist Chris Appleton, returned to the lighter side with long, undone icy white waves, a cool contrast to her silver corseted gown.

Kardashian's hair was much more casual than we expected for the event, worn in simple bends that flowed past her shoulders to mid-back.

The platinum blonde was parted in the center with a hint of root, and wasn't too “done,” but rather left casual and a little messy, a total 180 from her ‘90s-inspired updo from the 2023 Gala. It’s a style we've seen on Kardashian many times before, which honestly felt fresh and unexpected on the green-and-white Met Gala carpet.

The Skims founder skipped a full eye and lip in favor of simple, neutral tones for a no-makeup makeup look, with a pinkish-peach blush on the apples of her cheeks and just a touch of matte peach on her lips, plus a fluttery, long lash.

Of course, all eyes were on the gown, a silver Maison Margiela by John Galliano with an intense corset that made her waist look miniscule before evolving into a sparkly, semi-sheer column skirt. Milky pink stiletto nails added edge and glamour
