Leave it to Kim Kardashian to turn a simple arrival into a full fashion moment. After all, that’s exactly what she ended up doing recently, just as she stepped out on Broadway in New York just ahead of the Met Gala. For this occasion, she wore a vintage Dior dress by John Galliano. Frankly, Kardashian’s ensemble clearly hinged entirely on one detail, which was a slit that climbed unapologetically high, adding a fiery and fabulous touch to her overall look. The unique hue of the look also added a touch of charm to her outfit. The Japanese-coded design of the look was precisely what made it special.
Kim Kardashian’s vintage Dior dress’ slit goes really high on Broadway before Met Gala
For this star-studded occasion, Kim Kardashian opted for a vintage Dior look. The dress itself felt deceptively restrained at first glance, but it was further cut in a soft gold fabric with a subtle floral pattern woven through. This statement-worthy piece also skimmed the body, with a clean, almost traditional silhouette. Furthermore, a high neckline and short sleeves gave her ensemble a rather modest and almost archaic feel.
After all, Kardashian’s dress embodied the kind of uniqueness and sass for which John Galliano was well-known. In fact, he loved to twist his looks into something far more provocative than they seemed. And then, there was the gorgeous slit. Running sharply up the thigh, it transformed the entire look from polished to deliberately daring. It also helped the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star show off and elongate her long, toned legs.
Kardashian’s beauty look also followed the same logic, allowing one element to take the stage. She wore her hair pulled back into a sleek, sculpted bun. She also kept her skin luminous and her makeup neutral and precise. Nothing competed with the dress, and more importantly, nothing distracted from that slit. In a week where fashion can easily tip into excess, this look worked beautifully because it was focused, with that perfectly placed risky twist!
