ALBAWABA - Kim Kardashian attended the Academy Museum Gala wearing an eye-catching outfit!
When she got to the fifth annual gala on Oct. 18, the 44-year-old founder of SKIMS wore a naked mask that covered her whole face and hair, which was a shocking change of style.
She wore a strapless corseted dress from the Maison Margiela Fall 2025 Couture line that matched her face mask, and her long, natural nails complemented the outfit.

Kardashian wore a crystal-studded choker necklace with green stones and cross pendants to go with her face mask, which was also part of the Maison Margiela fashion look.
She put several pictures of herself standing in the eye-catching outfit on her Instagram Stories, along with a picture of herself wearing it on the Maison Margiela runway so that fans could see how it was worn.

Then, the businesswoman shared a video of herself making fun of her look while her makeup artists finished touching up her face mask at the Academy Museum gala.
“Mario, do I look OK?" The makeup?" In the video, Kardashian asked Mario Dedivanovic, who does her makeup, what she thought. He laughed and said, "Yes, your makeup does look great."
“It’s good? All that hard work, guys,” Kardashian continued jokily. “I feel like I always do this to Mario, though,” she added.

Style fans expressed varying opinions about Kardashian's face mask and matching dress on social media.
"I liked that she committed to the full look," one person wrote on Instagram. "See, this is actually interesting," someone else agreed. "This is, of course, next-level fabulous 💛💛💛," another wrote.
"Kim... I mean, she's really into the whole look... Someone else said, "I'll give her that, but it wasn't the best choice for her." "It looks like a brown paper bag is over her head," said someone else.
Kardashian's outfit for the Academy Museum Gala looked a lot like the one she wore to the Met Gala in 2021, where she covered her whole body. She hid her face and head with a black mask at the event as part of a Balenciaga dress.
When it comes to dress, the founder of SKIMS has never been afraid to try something new. In August, at Diane von Furstenberg's DVF Awards in Italy, she donned a striking dress from the Maison Margiela Fall 2025 Couture line.
She wore a bodysuit that fit closely to her body, layered over wide-leg pants that fell to the floor, and paired with a gray jumpsuit featuring cape-style arms that also reached the floor.
The first time we saw Kardashian this week was at the Los Angeles opening of her new Ryan Murphy legal drama, All's Fair.
She wore a structured halterneck dress from Schiaparelli Couture's Spring 2025 line. The waist was dropped, and the skirt had frills. To finish the look, she put her hair in a sleek high bun and wore heavy pink blush and a pinky-neutral shiny lip.
