Kylie Jenner's choice of outfit for the 2022 Met Gala has divided opinion, with some praising her tribute to the late designer Virgil Abloh and others criticising her look as too casual for the prestigious event. The 24-year-old beauty mogul wore a figure-hugging mesh top with a ruched corset and a large ruffled skirt from Abloh's final Off-White collection, paired with a backwards baseball cap and a veil.
Jenner shared a series of images on Instagram preparing for the red carpet, including a sweet message from Abloh arranging their collaboration. She wrote: 'Virgil and I were supposed to go to the Met together before it got postponed in 2020. to celebrate V tonight and his incredible legacy truly means the world to me. i’m humbled to wear this dress and honour my talented beautiful friend.'
However, it was her after-party look that garnered more enthusiasm from fans. The second Off-White creation featured a long-sleeved bardot sheer top under a corset and satin maxi dress. Sharing photos on Instagram, Jenner captioned them: 'The afterparty' and 'Married to the Met.'
Fans expressed disappointment that she did not wear the second outfit for the main event. Comments included: 'THIS is the met look everyone was waiting for' and 'Queen you needed to wear this instead of the cap.' Another follower asked: 'So this dress was lost or something for the red carpet?'
