Her dark hair cascaded in glamorous old Hollywood waves, with makeup perfectly showing off a soft pink blush and nude lip to complete the elegant vibe.

Many users shared their thoughts and descriptions, such as “diaper look” or “circus costume.” Comments ranged from, “It looks like a diaper,” to quips about her outfit’s comfort, with one user joking, “Her organs must be screaming! As critics also mentioned, “Kim, you’re wearing the same looks, babe.
It’s giving one-trick pony.” Despite mixed reviews about her look, Kim Kardashian’s gala appearance undoubtedly sent tongues wagging, continuing her trend of making bold fashion statements that ingenuity conversation across social media platforms.
