An insider claims that Kim Kardashian’s latest Academy Museum Gala look symbolized Kanye West’s control over her life during their marriage. For the event, she sported a Maison Margiela couture nude gown, pairing it with a heavy necklace. She wrapped her entire face and hair with nude cloth. Her faceless look garnered attention and left everyone shocked.
Kim Kardashian’s mask look had deeper meaning
A source close to Kardashian’s family claimed that her fearless masked look at the Academy Museum Gala wasn’t just a fashion statement but rather a representation. It was a metaphor for how she was “used, gagged, and gaslighted” by West during their marriage.
In 2021, Kardashian filed for divorce from Ye, following nearly 7 years of marriage. The divorce was finalized in 2022. The insider close to the family added, “That outfit wasn’t just fashion – it was a statement. Kim felt invisible for years. The faceless mask perfectly captured how she was silenced and shaped by Kanye’s control. It’s one of the most haunting metaphors Hollywood has ever seen.” (via RadarOnline)
Recently, another insider told RadarOnline that Ye has been sending Kardashian “furious” messages over North’s provocative dressing on their Rome trip. However, they reveal that Kardashian isn’t giving attention to his messages and is passing them to her lawyer. She doesn’t want West’s “chaos” to ruin her daughter’s confidence.
“Kim’s incredibly proud of North’s creativity. She’s bold, imaginative, and loves expressing herself through clothes, but Kim always keeps things age-appropriate. She’s very involved and sets clear boundaries. The idea that she’s encouraging North to dress like a grown-up is just absurd,” the source added. An insider close to Kardashian reveals that Ye’s criticism of her is not about North’s dressing but about regaining control. As he can no longer tell Kardashian to do what he wants, he’s channeling that “energy” onto North. “Kim sees exactly what’s happening, and she’s not tolerating it. She’s willing to absorb all his anger if that’s what it takes to let her daughter be herself,” the insider said.
