Kim Kardashian certainly made the fashion headlines again this week for a look that many called horrifying, to say the least.

The star showed up to one of Hollywood’s biggest galas, the fifth annual Academy Museum Gala in LA, making a very bold fashion statement by wearing an outfit from Maison Margiela’s Fall 2025 Couture collection.

The dress featured nude tones, strapless corsets, and came fully draped with sleeves. The standout feature was a full face covering that comprised a nude-toned mask that concealed her hair and many facial features.

She chose to accessorize her look with a giant crystal-encrusted choker that was accentuated with green jewels and cross pendants, plus long nails in the nude color tone. This added a major contrast of glamour to the minimalist palette. On the red carpet, she shared more about how she had completed her full hair and makeup underneath the mask, and the mask addition was not planned but a last-minute decision of her stylist squad.

The star also added how she even flew in her favorite makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, for this event. The reaction of many was divided, with most people calling it a terrifying appeal, more on the haunted theme than fashionable chic. Others did praise her for the daring look and avant-garde styling.
