Kim Kardashian Stuns in Vintage Mugler at the 2024 Academy Museum Gala
Kim Kardashian wowed the crowd at the 2024 Academy Museum Gala, wearing a daring corset and hooded coat from Mugler's spring 1998 couture collection, designed by Dani Levi for a modern twist on the classic haute couture.
Kim Kardashian turned heads at the 2024 Academy Museum Gala by diving into the Mugler archives for a spectacular look. The reality star and entrepreneur opted for a statement ensemble from the French brand's spring 1998 couture collection. Her ensemble featured a structured white corset paired with a matching hooded coat, embodying the bold, avant-garde style synonymous with Mugler. Styled by longtime collaborator Dani Levi, Kardashian completed the look with a sparkling diamond necklace and open-toed PVC heels, bringing a touch of modern glamor to vintage couture.
Earlier this month, Kardashian embraced a minimalist yet edgy aesthetic at ChainFest LA, an annual food festival that features signature gourmet dishes from popular restaurant chains, some of which are crafted by Michelin-starred chefs. For the event, she chose a sleek, all-black ensemble consisting of a cropped T-shirt and low-rise leather biker pants, paired with pointy heels. She kept her accessories to a minimum, allowing the boldness of the outfit to take center stage.
Kardashian's look for the gala was complemented by her signature dark waves, styled in a vintage style inspired by Hollywood glamour. Her makeup, featuring a soft pink blush and a nude lip, added a subtle, timeless elegance to her otherwise dramatic ensemble.
In September, Kardashian co-chaired the third annual Caring for Women dinner, hosted by the Kering Foundation, which celebrated its 16th anniversary. The event, aimed at raising funds to combat gender violence, raised $2 million. The dinner, held in New York, was hosted by Salma Hayek, with a star-studded cast of co-chairs that included Naomi Watts, Matthew McConaughey and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The gala attracted notable guests wearing luxury designs from Kering's portfolio of high-end brands. Kardashian, Watts and Kerry Washington wore custom Balenciaga creations, while Salma Hayek, Raye and Dakota Johnson stunned in Gucci dresses. The event's host, Gayle King, opted for a daring Alexander McQueen ensemble, ensuring the evening was as elegant as it was meaningful.
The Academy Museum Gala, held annually in Los Angeles, serves as a key fundraising event for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The gala supports the museum's exhibitions and educational programs, highlighting the past, present and future of cinema.
