QUICK EX-IT Kim Kardashian narrowly avoids awkward run-in with ex Pete Davidson as they arrive at the Met Gala just minutes apart
KIM Kardashian has just barely avoided an awkward run-in with her ex-boyfriend Pete Davidson at the 2023 Met Gala.
The Hulu personality and Saturday Night Live alum made their debut as a couple on the carpet at the event one year prior. Kim, 42, arrived at the Met Gala ahead of Pete, 29, stunning fans with a barely-there ensemble.
She hit the white carpet in a Schiaparelli gown that was made almost entirely of strands of pearls. The gems hung over her chest, over her famous ʙuтт, all along her hips, and down her legs.
In the mid-section, there appeared to be a piece of skin-colored fabric that covered her belly ʙuттon and toned tummy. Fans seemed to think the Sєxy look was an homage to her 2007 Playboy spread.
Kim, for her part, simply said in an interview with ET Online that she “just felt like being a little bit more glamorous this year.” Meanwhile, Bupkis star Pete arrived at the Met Gala a short time after his future lawyer ex as he attended alongside actress Michelle Yeoh.
The funnyman’s look combined high fashion with his usual effortlessly cool and comfortable style. He wore a black bucket hat, black sunglᴀsses, a black trench coat, a graphic-style T-shirt, and a pair of purple leather-look pants.
Pete also appeared to have gloves covering his hands. This is his second time attending the Met Gala but first without Kim by his side.
It’s unclear whether the pair interacted inside the event but they did not wind up coming face-to-face on the carpet.
KIM’S COMING
Kim confirmed to fans that she was attending the Met Gala on April 26, giving a little preview of her ensemble. She shared pH๏τos of herself in Paris, writing in her caption: “Had a date with @choupetteofficiel in Paris.
“We spent some time in @KarlLagerfeld’s office to get a little inspiration for the Met.”
In the first pH๏τo in the bunch, the SKKN mogul was seen laying on a lavish bed with a gold tufted headboard with floral fabric and gold embellishments all around the top.
There was a large gold fixture above the bed. Kim wore her long brown hair in a natural wavy style hanging loosely past her shoulders as she had on a leather-looking black top.
The fashion mogul was seen laying alongside a fluffy white and grey cat. She shared another pH๏τo of herself leaning over the side of the same bed, making a kissy face at the same cat.
In another pic, Kim stood with her back to the camera while combing through a wall of fashion sketches. A fourth snap showed Kim ascending a grand staircase while looking at a mᴀssive pH๏τo.
She wore knee-high high-heeled boots.
MEMORY LANE
Kim attended the 2022 Met Gala with Pete by her side and the headlines looked very different at that time.
She arrived at the event wearing Marilyn Monroe’s famous Happy Birthday Mr. President dress and rocking bleach blonde hair.
Pete, for his part, kept it simple and stylish in a black tux with a white shirt and a sleek black tie.
At the Met Gala, Kim and Pete were dodging his exes rather than one another.
Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor, whom Pete briefly dated, was in attendance along with Kaia Gerber – Cindy Crawford’s daughter who also dated the New York native.
Pete started dating Kim just two months after he and Phoebe split.
