Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Make Met Gala Debut in Coordinating Thom Browne Looks

Nothing can stop Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker from showing major PDA… not even the prestigious Met Gala.

In May 2022, the couple made their debut at the annual fashion event, dubbed the Oscars of fashion. They went all out, exchanging sloppy kisses in front of photographers.

Coordinating in Thom Browne for the 2022 Met Gala Red Carpet

Kravis, the portmanteau given to the couple, wore coordinating quirky outfits from American fashion designer Thom Browne.

The Blink-182 drummer opted for a black tailcoat with a white wing-tip collar shirt, a white bow tie, and a matching silk faille cummerbund.

He teamed the look with a pleated kilt-style skirt over a pair of low-rise skinny trousers. Meanwhile, Kourtney, who has never attended the Met Gala before, described her ensemble as a “deconstructed version” of her fiancé’s outfit.

Kourtney’s Deconstructed Look Misses the ‘Gilded Glamour’ Theme

This year’s Met Gala theme is “Gilded Glamour.” Kourt seemingly did not care about the memo.

For her first Met Gala appearance, the then-43-year-old reality TV star wore a cropped white shirt that showed off her midriff. She paired it with an asymmetrical skirt that appeared to be a deconstructed jacket.

The strange number features a sculpted hip cummerbund corset in raw muslin, contrast white stitching, and a floor-sweeping pleated train.

Unsurprisingly, Scott Disick’s ex failed to impress with her unique outfit. Her first Met Gala look was criticized, with some saying “she doesn’t deserve to be there” and that “she will never be invited back.”

Jimmy Choo Heels and Anita Ko Jewelry Complete Her Look

Styled by Dani Michelle, the mom-of-three completed her black-and-white look with Jimmy Choo pointy pumps.

She then accessorized with diamond jewelry from Anita Ko, including a $1,125 pear diamond stud, a $2,850 baguette ear cuff, and a $4,475 baguette wave ear cuff.

For her beauty look, makeup artist Leah Darcy highlighted Kourt’s eyes with smoky eyeshadow, added a hint of blush, and swiped on nude lip color. Hairstylist Irinel de León then pulled her tresses into a messy updo, leaving a few tendrils loose to frame her face.

Kourtney Draws Criticism for Disregarding the Theme

While on the red carpet, Kourtney and Travis, who unofficially wed the previous month, were interviewed by Vogue’s red carpet live stream host La La Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony’s wife asked Kourtney, “When you heard that the theme was ‘gilded glamour,’ what did that mean to you?”

“I honestly didn’t really think about it,” Kourtney laughingly replied. “But, yeah. I feel like [Travis’] is like it, and then mine’s like, falling—like dripping off of him,” she added.

Kourtney drew flak for her answer, with the internet calling her out for her disrespectful attitude.
