A sock-like mask<\/h2>\n

Kim Kardashian, 44, has long been a fixture on the red carpet, turning heads with daring outfits that blur the line between fashion and spectacle. From curve-hugging gowns to avant-garde ensembles, the reality star and entrepreneur has made it her signature move to push style boundaries, and spark conversation while doing it.<\/p>\n

Just as\u00a0Kim Kardashian\u00a0<\/a>is no stranger to turning heads, the Academy Museum Gala in California is no stranger to jaw-dropping fashion. But this year, it wasn\u2019t her gown that stole the spotlight, it was her head.<\/p>\n

The reality star stepped onto the red carpet in a skin-toned Maison Margiela gown that came complete with a sock-like mask, a balaclava-style covering that left only the vaguest hint of her features visible.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t Kardashian\u2019s first head-turning masked moment.<\/p>\n

Back in 2021, she attended the same gala in an all-black Balenciaga catsuit with a cape, her head entirely concealed. But even repeat stunts didn\u2019t soften the shock this time. And of course, social media users were quick to react.<\/p>\n

\u201dI didn\u2019t realize that there was a Botox shortage until this,\u201d one user wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201dLooks like one of those crazy looking pumpkin heads,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

Outlets didn\u2019t hold back either.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail\u00a0<\/a>promptly labeled her look one of the \u201cworst dressed stars\u201d of the night, calling the 44-year-old SKIMS founder\u2019s masked ensemble \u201cpeculiar.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article noted, \u201cAmong the style blunders at the Annual Academy Museum Gala was a peculiar masked look from none other than red carpet queen Kim Kardashian.\u201d Fans echoed the criticism, and some confusion, online.<\/p>\n

One user on X likened it to a tongue-in-cheek \u201ccover the face with a brown bag\u201d joke: \u201cGuarantee you it isn\u2019t the first time somebody had to cover her face!\u201d another chimed in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
