Kim Kardashian uploaded an Instagram story ahead of the Met Gala, featuring North West. In the reel, the mother-daughter duo transformed themselves into a Met Gala look. Kim was seen in the custom Chrome Hearts outfit. It comprised a croc-embossed leather top and a floor-length skirt that came with an extended train.
The top had an off-the-shoulder design with a belt at the back for fit and design. The skirt had two pearl chains that were drooping from the front to the back.
The all-black outfit was paired with a diamond choker and necklace, rings, and earrings. She completed her look with a cowboy hat. The 11-year-old North West was seen in a blue braided hairstyle, paired with a fur coat and pants, and blue necklaces.
It didn’t take long for fans to figure out that they were heading to the Met Gala, although North wasn’t seen accompanying Kim at the actual event.
