The comradeship between Tennis stalwart Serena Williams and socialite Kim Kardashian powers through. Despite tennis fans making earnest requests to not keep up with the Kardashians, the fashionistas had the BFF vibes sending all across the 2023 Met Gala red carpet.
The 2023 Met Gala was of special significance for tennis fans. After all, one of tennis’ all-time greats, Roger Federer, was a co-chair at the event. However, beyond Federer’s co-chairing duties, it was an event that celebrated the life of one of the world’s most revered designers of all time, Karl Lagerfeld. Kardashian and Williams’ similarity, as it turned out, had a lot to do with the late designer.

Faux pearls helped Coco Chanel rise to the top of the fashion industry. After she passed, it was Karl Lagerfeld who took up the mantle and transformed them into a fashion statement. The 2023 Met Gala, which was a celebration of Karl Lagerfeld’s life and works, saw some prominent names donning pearls, per the Hollywood Reporter.
For instance, the retired tennis legend Serena Williams, who announced her pregnancy moments before making her red-carpet entry with husband Alexis Ohanian, wore several pearl necklaces. It was the same for Williams’ socialite friend Kim Kardashian. A bold Daniel Roseberry dress helped Kardashian raise the temperature. She also went with a dazzling pearl-rich look, which consisted of more than 50,000 pearls.
Artisans labored for more than 1,000 hours to create Kardashian’s captivating look. However, despite Kardashian’s oomph and sizzle, it seemed like she was having a hard time moving around. The star of the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ needed some help to get up the stairs, as her Daniel Roseberry dress didn’t allow her much freedom in terms of movement.
Kim Kardashian’s memorable Met Gala looks
The 2023 Met Gala wasn’t Kardashian’s first time attending the grand event. Her first appearance came in 2013. At the time, she wore a turtleneck maternity gown designed by Givenchy. Kardashian’s next Met Gala appearance was at the 2019 edition, where she sported a look curated by late French fashion designer Thierry Mugler.
