Birthday special: Kim Kardashian's iconic looks

Kimberly Noel Kardashian known as Kim Kardashian in the entertainment industry just turned 42! With everything, the internet sensation did garner media attention. Right from her time on a reality TV show to her marriage to Kanye West, her pregnancy, and of course her bizarre appearances. It's a perfect occasion to look back on some of Kim K's most famous looks as she celebrates her birthday. So, let's begin.

Kardashian dazzled in a customized chainmail dress designed by Versace for the 2018 Met Gala. Her dress had crosses embroidered on the bodice and hips in keeping with the theme of Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, which she highlighted with double cross necklaces and a smokey cat eye.

For her 2019 Met Gala outfit, a skintight latex dress that took the designer eight months to create, the reality star once again resorted to Mugler. With its dangling beaded embellishments, the corseted dress was intended to imitate dripping water. She complemented her outfit with clear embellished sandals, droplet-accented acrylic nails, bronzed makeup, and a moist hairstyle.

Kardashian wore a skintight metallic Mugler dress to the premiere of The Kardashians in April 2022, swapping her silver sunglasses with a silver dress. She added hefty jewellery, including two cuff bracelets and a choker necklace, to finish the ensemble.

Kardashian's surprising Balenciaga outfit at the 2021 Met Gala gained widespread attention. She was dressed in all-black, with a long-sleeve turtleneck bodysuit underneath a dress that was the size of a T-shirt, a pleated train, matching jersey boots, and gloves. The mask that hid her face and head was the accessory that caught the most attention.

Kardashian's 2022 Met Gala ensemble sparked a lot of debate. The reality TV star wore the exact Jean Louis gown that Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962. Kim wore a floor-length, nude outfit with beaded details. Kardashian paired the vintage ensemble with diamond drop earrings, a white fur jacket, and blonde hair.
