Kim Kardashian may have divorced Kanye West, but she stayed married to his fashion sense. The socialite and the designer would dazzle the MET Gala as they twined during their years together. While she is known for her beige and brown outfits, he is known for his black and dark attires. Their fashion sense complimented each other, but they eventually began mixing it up.

While it was Ye who first took her to the MET Gala, he himself remains absent from it now. Meanwhile, she continued to be a heard turner at the event. Back in 2021, she went solo but took his spirit along. Here is how Kardashian reminded all of him, despite his absence.

Ahead of her appearance at the MET Gala this year, one thing is clear: her fashion sense has certainly evolved through the years. Back in 2021, she turned up for the event in a fitted, long Balenciaga outfit in an almost ghost-like black look. According to ET, it reminded many of Ye’s style, and wondered if she took inspiration from him. Which was, in fact, true. She even gave credit to him during an interview with Vogue, despite their ongoing differences back then.

The outfit consisted of her being covered from top to bottom. She was wearing a hoodie, a top, pants, and boots, with a mask to cover her face. The socialite was not initially pleased to have her face covered, but the design team convinced her that it was not about the face, but the concept. Then again, her unique figure did not go unrecognized.

It remains one of the trendiest and most remembered MET Gala outfit to this day with 7,500,000 engagement on Instagram, according to JustJared. Interestingly, an outfit that the rapper was against also quite popular among masses.

However, Kardashian and West when together always managed to set the Gala red carpet on fire.
