Kim Kardashianhad a bit of a fashion mishap at the Met Gala but bounced back like a boss.
However, the gown, which consisted of a draped skirt and top made frommore than 50,000 freshwater pearls and 16,000 crystal pearlsand took a dozen artisans 1,000 hours to craft, wasn’t easy to walk in.
Videos from the red carpet show the little movement the dress allowed her — needing assistance from a multitude of people to make it up the coveted carpeted staircase because, alone, she couldn’t quite walk her way up.
