Boots and booty! Kendall Jenner flashes her derrière and TOWERS over her sisters in mᴀssive platforms at Met Gala… and her new boyfriend Bad Bunny turns up too
Kendall Jenner put on a very cheeky display in a black sequined bodysuit with floor-length sleeves and sparkly silver collar, designed by Marc Jacobs, to the 2023 Met Gala in New York City on Monday.
While strutting down the red carpet in a pair of gothic platform boots, the 27-year-old supermodel flashed her bare bottom to the world as a sea of adoring pH๏τographers rushed to capture her walk up the stars.
For the occasion, the reality star, who is rumored to be dating Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, paid homage to the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld by rocking her glossy chestnut brown locks in a bouncy, high ponytail with perfectly coiffed ends.
The daughter of Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner was clearly not afraid to display her ᴀssets as she caught the eye of her longtime best friend, Gigi Hadid, while crossing paths at the star-studded event.
Upon seeing her pal, the 818 Tequila founder let out a gasp and looked over her shoulder in Hadid’s direction before going on to reunite inside.
Additionally, the five-foot-nine catwalk queen was seen posing for a family pH๏τo with younger sister Kylie Jenner and their half-sister, Kim Kardashian.
Since 2014, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians has attended the Met Gala eight times, and become a stand-out at the annual gala after modeling a number of show-stopping over the years.
While her beau also was in attendance, they did not pose for pH๏τographs together, and he arrived much earlier in the evening. During one interview outside the event, Kendall said she feels ‘amazing’ and ‘is so happy to be here.’
Margot Robbie, Florence Pugh, Vanessa Hudgens, Lily James, and Miranda Kerr and Gigi Hadid are also among the faces who will be at the Met Gala.
Additionally, Dr. Dre, and Nick Jonas are expected on the carpet when the festivities begin.
The Met Gala returned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday evening, with everyone from Sydney Sweeney to Paris Hilton set to attend the annual fundraising event.
Since 1948, stars have ascended the majestic staircase into a very exclusive party where no selfies are allowed.
In keeping with tradition, the event will be held on the first Monday of May. It is scheduled to begin at 6:30PM EST on May 1, 2023.
Fans can watch the event unfold in real-time via a livestream on Vogue.
This year, the ball’s theme is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. The late German designer was Chanel’s long-time creative director. He pᴀssed at age 85 in 2019.
His beloved cat, Choupette, has even been invited to the festivities.
The decision to honor Karl has sparked controversy given the many offensive remarks he has made over the years, from slamming the #MeToo movement to opposing same-Sєx marriage.
‘I’m against it for a very simple reason: In the 60s they all said we had the right to the difference. And now, suddenly, they want a bourgeois life,’ he told Vice of same-Sєx marriage.
‘It’s difficult to imagine—one of the papas at work and the other at home with the baby. How would that be for the baby? I don’t know. I see more lesbians married with babies than I see boys married with babies. And I also believe more in the relationship between mother and child than in that between father and child.’
While he ultimately showed his support for same-Sєx marriage at his spring 2013 Chanel haute couture show, he still said he was ‘less keen’ on same-Sєx couples adopting children, according to AP.
Along with the Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, who runs and hosts the annual event, the 2023 MET Gala will also be co-hosted by Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel and also Roger Federer.
While the show may be known for its glitzy and over-the-top red carpet – with details of what occurs inside often remaining mysterious – at its heart, it is a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Insтιтute.
Last year, the 2022 MET Gala alone raised a grand total of $17.4 million, reported Billboard.
This year the price of admission has been raised from $30,000 to $50,000, according to Page Six.
Even if you have the funds, that doesn’t guarantee you entry into the party.
Every guest has to be invited, and a waiting list exists for the coveted golden ticket.
And status matters, according to The New York Times.
Paris Hilton is among the big names attending in what will be her first Met Gala.
Meanwhile, Blake Lively, a frequent attendee, announced she will not be at the party.
‘I will be watching,’ she said, according to People.
Elle Fanning, Kardashian and La La Anthony are among the other celebs attending.
As for Wintour’s role in the bash, Vogue’s editor-in-chief organizes the party and oversees the guest list and even the menu.
She has served as the Met Gala’s chairwoman since 1994 and continues to serve look after look at every event.
