<p id=”par-2_54″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kanye-ye-west-says-dirt-spill-kim-kardashian-family-source-says.html/”>Kim Kardashian and Kanye “Ye” West</a> took the world by storm with their romance. While Kardashian had already made a name for herself in the celebrity world, West helped elevate her fame by bringing her into the elite fashion world. West connected Kardashian with top designers and helped her score a cover on Vogue.</p>
<p id=”par-3_73″>In 2019, Kardashian stepped out at the Met Gala in her most iconic look to date. Collaborating with legendary designer Thierry Mugler, who had come out of retirement to create the piece, Kardashian donned a custom nude latex dress adorned with sparkling crystals, designed to mimic the effect of water droplets. The gown featured a plunging neckline and a cinched waist, achieved through a meticulously crafted corset by renowned corsetier Mr. Pearl. </p>
<p id=”par-4_42″>A clip from <em>Keeping Up With the Kardashians</em> in 2019 shows Kardashian discussing her past Met Gala experiences while in the car. “This is a big change from year one,” she says, noting that in 2013, she was “just Kanye’s plus one.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_8″>“Nobody really wanted me there,” she added. </p>
<p id=”par-6_27″>“Year two, we had our first Vogue cover. I finally got invite, you know. Blah, blah, blah,” Kardashian explained. “Year seven — CoverGirl. We officially made it.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_48″>Kanye “Ye” West didn’t approve of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kim-kardashians-met-gala-corset-was-so-tight-she-couldnt-sit-video.html/”>Kim Kardashian’s 2019 Met Gala dress</a>. In an episode of <em>Keeping Up With the Kardashians, </em>West tells Kardashian that her custom Thierry Mugler dress was “too sexy.” He explained that as a married man, he wanted his wife to dress modestly. </p>
<p id=”par-8_15″>A filmed confrontation shows Kardashian telling West that his criticism gave her “really bad anxiety.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_31″>“I don’t need any more negative energy for you to now say that you’re not into me wearing a tight dress,” Kardashian told West, according to a clip posted to <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/Kanye/comments/tf1stc/remember_this_episode_when_kim_and_kanye_were/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-10_15″>“You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy,” West said.</p>
<p id=”par-11_39″>“You built me up to be this sexy person, and confidence, all this stuff,” Kardashian angrily said back. “Just because you’re on a journey and you’re on your transformation doesn’t mean I’m in the same spot with you.” </p>
<p id=”par-12_9″>West walked away from Kardashian after she fought back.</p>

<p id=”par-13_66″>Kanye “Ye” West likely won’t receive a Met Gala invite in 2025 after his controversial and antisemitic statements on X. However, he shared his design ideas on social media. <a href=”https://www.themirror.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/kanye-west-met-gala-kkk-1119671″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Mirror US</a> reports West’s mock-up design shows two figures standing side by side. Both figures appear to wear KKK hoods. The man in the photo has his genitals exposed. The other figure is completely covered. </p>
<p id=”par-14_47″>West’s mock-up design appears to show what Bianca Censori would wear. In early 2025, she exposed her naked body on the Grammy Awards red carpet, shocking the media. Now, it seems West would want her completely covered, and he would expose himself at the Met Gala. </p>
<p id=”par-15_42″>While West likely won’t attend the Met Gala with Censori, Kim Kardashian has allegedly already started her prep. <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2025/04/29/style/kim-kardashian-shares-4k-laser-treatment-ahead-of-met-gala-2025/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a> reports she received a $4,000 facial laser treatment to reduce wrinkles and fine lines ahead of the big night on May 5.</p>
