The Met Gala is known for its extravagant red carpet moments, fashion-forward looks, and, of course, surprise arrivals. This year’s event, celebrating “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,†was no exception. Among the attendees was Kim Kardashian, who has made the Met Gala her annual fashion pilgrimage. However, this year, it wasn’t just Kim who got fans talking. There was a buzz surrounding her daughter, North West, who appeared to be getting ready for her own glamorous debut at fashion’s biggest night.
Kim Kardashian's Annual Met Gala Tradition
Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala appearances are often as anticipated as the event itself. Each year, fans eagerly await her show-stopping look, and she never disappoints. In 2025, Kardashian once again showcased her impeccable taste in a Chrome Hearts ensemble, featuring a daring look complete with a Melania-esque hat. The reality star’s entrance was poised and polished, fitting perfectly with the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style†theme, which honored Black dandyism and menswear influences in fashion. But this year, Kim wasn’t alone in preparing for the big night. A video posted to Kim’s Instagram Story hours before the event sparked excitement as it featured her daughter, North West, alongside her. In the clip, North, looking every bit the mini-fashionista, rocked blue braids and a full face of makeup, while sporting what appeared to be a cowhide set—a bold and chic choice that had many fans wondering: was she about to make a surprise Met Gala debut?North West: A Met Gala Moment That Almost Was
The video quickly went viral, with social media buzzing over the possibility of North West defying the Met Gala’s notorious 18-and-up age limit. Could we be seeing the youngest celebrity to ever make a Met Gala appearance? The question was on everyone’s lips after the clip surfaced, paired with a well-timed tweet from Pop Crave suggesting that North might be making her own red carpet debut. But as the evening wore on, the reality set in. Kim Kardashian made her grand entrance on the Met Gala carpet solo. Fans quickly realized that North was not joining her mother on the iconic stairs. Instead, the young fashion starlet appeared to have stayed behind, watching the festivities from the car as Kim took the spotlight alone. It seems the young star will have to wait a few more years before she can fully embrace her own Met Gala moment.
The Mother-Daughter Glam Session
Despite the lack of a red carpet debut, the mother-daughter glam session was a notable highlight of the evening. Kim Kardashian’s fans were treated to an intimate glimpse behind the scenes, with North West clearly relishing her time getting ready alongside her mom. The young starlet’s look—complete with blue braids, a polished makeup application, and her unique cowhide outfit—showed that she’s not just the daughter of a fashion icon, but already a budding style icon in her own right. As Kim prepped for her own high-profile appearance, it was clear that North, while not on the carpet, was enjoying the experience in her own way. The duo’s glamorous prep, complete with the iconic Met Gala excitement, was the perfect reminder of how intertwined family and fashion can be—especially when you’re part of the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
