The unknown of Kim Kardashian's suit for the MET Gala triggers theories of the reason for her choice
After the impossible dress with which Kim Kardashian surprised us at the 2019 MET Gala, we were all impatient to discover the outfit with which she would appear at the 2021 gala. However, no one was prepared to contemplate the suit with which she stepped on the red carpet this year.
Dressed from head to toe by Balenciaga (literally), the influencer appeared with her entire body covered by her, which we could only see without covering the false ponytail she was wearing.
With an outfit so far from her usual style, the Kardashian queen got all of her attention to be focused not only on her, but also on what she was wearing.
Although she did not show an inch of skin, her curvy figure and her XXL ponytail gave away her identity and we got to know her personality behind her mask. After discovering who she was, many failed to understand how it was possible that a woman like Kim Kardashian had chosen such a suit.
Immediately the internet was filled with theories to justify this choice, each one more bizarre, but knowing Kim, we cannot rule out any until she confirms it herself.
The first one alludes to the designer and creative director of Balenciaga, Demna Gvasalia, who also accompanied the businesswoman in a similar suit. In this theory they affirm that Gvasalia makes this type of costumes with a mask because he lived through the war from a very young age, since he is of Georgian origin and the civil war broke out when he was only 12 years old and his family took refuge in Düsseldorf. It is also said that the designer seeks to dress all types of bodies, not only the regulatory ones, no matter who is the person who carries his designs.
Another theory affirms that it is a criticism of the world of social networks, where the only thing that matters is beauty and having a perfect body, using photoshop if necessary. So Kim would be making a claim that what really matters is the person beyond her appearance.
On the other hand, one of the theories maintains that this suit comes from Kim Kardashian's fanaticism for the sexual practice of BDSM (Bondage, Dominance, Sadism and Masochism). However, we find another one even more crazy, which speaks of the great attachment of the influencer to the Harry Potter saga and she wanted to attend the gala as if she were a dementor. The latter is the least sustained.
A very possible theory is a response to all those people who call her frivolous and superficial, who describe her as if she were only a body and a face, as if this were the only thing remarkable about her person.
Many have thought about the current situation of women in Afghanistan after the Taliban take over. This suit would be a vindication of the suffering of the Afghans to help make the population aware of such injustice.
Others think that one of Kim's latest cosmetic operations has gone so wrong that the influencer does not want to show her face until the mistake is completely corrected.
One of the most established theories is that the businesswoman wanted to represent the death of fashion in the United States, since Kim has always been dressed following the criteria of the label of each MET gala.
Finally, among the most shared theories, there are two that carry a lot of weight. The first, claims that the Kardashian star wanted to represent how American culture has silenced women and anyone who is not white, alluding to the misogyny and racism of the country she was honoring that night.
Finally, the theory that has the most support is the one revealed by E! News, the portal that confirmed that the person who accompanied her was the designer of the suit. The media cited an anonymous source who confirmed that the reason why Kim Kardashian was completely covered was a statement of intent, since without logos, face or references, the influencer is so iconic that everyone is able to recognize her . She is the true fashion of America.
Meanwhile, Kim has only been limited to saying on Instagram about her styling of her night that "what is more American than a top to toe T-shirt?"
