Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Anxiety at First Met Gala: Stunning in Moschino and Nude Heels

Khloé Kardashian made her long-awaited Met Gala debut at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 2, 2022, joining sisters Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner for fashion’s biggest night.

In the months leading up to the event, online rumors claimed Khloé had been excluded from the gala, something she publicly denied. The conversation only added to the attention surrounding her first appearance on the Met steps, where she embraced the evening’s “Gilded Glamour” dress code in a heavily embellished Moschino gown paired with leg-lengthening nude heels.

Standing 5 feet 8 ½ inches (174 cm) tall, Khloé appeared noticeably taller than Kylie Jenner, who is 5 feet 6 inches (167.6 cm), as the Kardashian-Jenner family arrived together outside the Ritz-Carlton before heading to the gala.

She was spotted arriving at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Upper East Side with her sisters, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and their mom, Kris Jenner. They have become staples of the Met Ball over the years.

Unlike Kourtney and Kylie, who strayed far from this year’s theme, the Good American founder took the “gilded glamour” dress code seriously in a sparkling Moschino gown.

Khloé Kardashian Stuns in Sheer Gold Moschino Gown With Crystal Fringe and Dramatic Shawl

Embracing the golden look, Khloé, who recently sparked romance rumors with Trey Songz, wore a see-through sheer gown that clung perfectly to her hourglass figure.

The form-fitting column dress, which showed a glimpse of her nude corset and toned legs, is decked out in crystals and gold bead fringe.

It also features a cleavage-baring low-cut neckline and embellished shoulder straps, with one side decorated with a large black ruffled fabric cascading around her back like a shawl resting in the crook of her other arm.

Old Hollywood Glamour: Black Opera Gloves, Lorraine Schwartz Diamonds, and Nude Heels Complete the Look

To add more opulence to the look, the television personality wore black opera gloves, diamond stud earrings from Lorraine Schwartz, and nude heels.

Beauty-wise, hairstylist Chris Appleton parted Khloé’s shoulder-length bleached blonde hair to one side.

At the same time, makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic gave Khloé a bronzed look with smoky eyeshadow, peach blush, and matte nude lip color.

Unfortunately, the internet seemed underwhelmed by Khloé’s look, calling it too dull for her first Met Gala appearance.

“This is why Kourtney and Khloé ain’t ever been invited before,” one tweeted. “Yeesh….look at Khloé not trying to be seen lmaooo,” said another.

Following the event, the mom-of-one admitted that her “anxiety was through the roof” while walking up the Grand Staircase at the Met Gala for the first time.

“Am I supposed to admit that I almost had a heart attack on that carpet tonight?” Khloé tweeted. She also posted a carousel of photos from the gala and thanked Jeremy Scott and her glam team for her first-ever Met Gala look.

“An unforgettable evening at The Met. I am so incredibly honored to have been invited and so grateful to @ItsJeremyScott for creating this gorgeous custom-made fringe column gown with 540,000 hand-sewn glass beads in just 10 days! @Moschino #MetGala,” she tweeted.
