We’re nearing that time again: the time when stars from all over arrive in showstopping looks for the Met Gala. There are a few stars we can almost always expect on the red carpet, and within the past decade, the Kardashian-Jenner clan has become a staple.
While Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner are basically Met Gala vets at this point, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian finally made their debuts for the 2022 Gala: part two of In America: An Anthology of Fashion.
Now, for the 2023 Met Gala, there has been a lot of back and forth on whether any of the Kar-Jenners will even be invited. While we’ll more than likely have to wait until the day of to see if any of the reality star titans arrive, let’s take a look back at their looks.
From sparkling cutout gowns to colorful suits, the Kardashian-Jenner family always arrives in something that makes headlines (for better or for worse!) Sometimes, people are obsessed with their looks, like Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner’s colorful showgirl-inspired looks from 2019. And then there are looks that cause insane controversy, like Kim’s 2022 Marilyn Monroe dress.
