Kim Kardashian's Met Gala 2023 Look Saved by North West

Kim Kardashian's custom Schiaparelli gown embellished with 50,000 freshwater pearls suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the 2023 Met Gala, with strands of pearls ripping off and scattering all over the ground. However, she handled it like a pro and praised her 9-year-old daughter North West for saving the day by collecting the pearls that fell off. Kim's dress was inspired by the iconic Chanel pearls, and she wanted to be "dripping in pearls" to honor the late designer Karl Lagerfeld. Despite the fashion snafu, Kim and her family ruled the Met Gala with fierce and fabulous looks.
