Man, oh man, where do I even begin with the Met Gala? This year’s theme was “Sleeping Beauty: Reawakening Fashion,” but everyone was talking about “The Garden of Time” inspired by that J.G. Ballard story. I’ve been glued to my phone, scrolling through all the looks, and let me tell you, the Kardashian-Jenners showed up and showed out. But we’re here to talk about Kylie, right?
First things first, I had to make sure I was following all the right accounts. Kylie’s social media is a goldmine, especially during events like this. So I double-checked my notifications, and made sure I was following all the major fashion accounts too. Then I started digging.
I saw Kylie’s posts, the #GRWMs, the behind-the-scenes stuff. She’s really leaned into these formats, and I gotta say, it’s pretty cool to see. It’s not just the red carpet glam, but all the prep that goes into it. She was looking forward to the show.
- Checked out her social media: This was the first step. Kylie always shares snippets of her getting-ready process, and this time was no different. Saw some stories, some posts, the whole nine yards.
- Dived into the #MetGala hashtag: Of course, I had to see what everyone else was posting. The hashtag was buzzing, and I scrolled through tons of photos and videos to catch different angles of Kylie’s look.
- Compared to last year: I remember thinking, “How’s she going to top last year?” So, I went back and looked at her 2023 Met Gala outfit just to see the evolution, you know?
Then there was the whole Marilyn Monroe vibe she was channeling. I saw a bunch of articles and posts about that, comparing her look to some of Marilyn’s iconic outfits. Honestly, she pulled it off. And the fact that she’s worth like $700 million? Crazy. She’s not just a pretty face, she’s a businesswoman, raking in millions each year, mostly from her own brand.
Here is what I do:
I noticed she shared some behind-the-scenes footage, I made sure to watch those closely. It’s always interesting to see the work that goes on before the big reveal. The dress, the hair, the makeup – it’s a whole production.
My Thoughts?
Kylie’s a head-turner, no doubt. And she knows how to work the cameras. This year’s look was definitely a statement. She’s come a long way since her first Met Gala, and it’s cool to see her style evolve. Plus, the fact that she’s built this massive empire for herself? Major props. It’s not just about the fashion for her, it’s about the business, and she’s clearly killing it.
Anyway, that’s my little deep dive into Kylie Jenner’s 2024 Met Gala experience. What did you guys think of her look? Let me know in the comments!
