It’s become a Met Gala tradition for the Kardashian-Jenners to show up as a unit, creating some of the annual fête’s most talked-about looks. In 2013, Kim certainly started out her Met Gala history with a head-turning look, wearing a custom Givenchy gown that inspired a thousand memes overnight. Kendall Jenner, who made her debut just a year later, has also become a must-see of the gala’s red carpet. Meanwhile, the entire family—from Kris and Kylie Jenner to Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian—are always sure to bring their very best for fashion’s biggest night. Truly, it’s hard to believe that just a little over a decade ago, it was only Kim Kardashian and her now ex-husband Kanye West who represented the family on the Met steps. Here, take a look back at all of Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s Met Gala looks.
Kim’s debut appearance at the gala was one for the history books. Then pregnant, she attended the fête as Kanye’s plus one in an Internet-breaking Givenchy look designed by Riccardo Tisci. The dress, which drew comparisons to everything from grandmother florals to a Mrs Doubtfire character, caused such a reaction online that it caused the influencer to cry all “the whole way home.”
In 2014, Kim didn’t grab as many headlines as she did the year prior—perhaps, a reality she preferred. She sported a satin Lanvin confection designed with a sweetheart neckline and a steep leg slit.
Just as she was making a name for herself on the catwalk, Kendall staged her Met debut in 2014. She channeled that year’s theme, Charles James: Beyond Fashion, in an Old Hollywood look courtesy of Topshop.
Now a regular, Kim started to hit her Met style stride in 2015. Alongside her now ex-husband Kanye West, the mogul commanded attention in a feathered and sheer Roberto Cavalli number. Kanye, fittingly, was also dressed in the Italian brand.
