Kim Kardashian Wears 1960s Body Plates at 2026 Met Gala While Lewis Hamilton Sits Out
The 2026 Met Gala embraced “Fashion Is Art,” and Kim Kardashian delivered one of its most talked-about looks. She wore a custom Whitaker Malem creation inspired by Allen Jones’s provocative pop-art sculptures. The ensemble featured a glossy orange fibreglass breastplate moulded to her torso and a brown leather skirt with dramatic high slits. Hand-painted details and a high-shine finish turned the piece into wearable sculpture. Rumours had swirled that Kardashian and Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton might make a joint red-carpet debut. Instead, Hamilton, fresh from a challenging Miami Grand Prix weekend, chose to skip the gala and focus on his recovery. Kardashian strutted the steps solo, reinforcing her reputation for pushing fashion boundaries on the Met Gala carpet.
