At the 2025 Met Gala, held on May 5 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Kim Kardashian experienced a brief yet notable incident involving her security detail. As she exited The Mark Hotel en route to the gala, a security guard accidentally stepped on the train of her custom Chrome Hearts leather gown, momentarily disrupting her stride.
The mishap was captured on video and quickly circulated on social media platforms. In the footage, Kardashian, 44, is seen briefly pausing and turning to look at the guard after the stumble. Despite the interruption, she maintained her composure, offering a hand to steady the guard before continuing to her awaiting vehicle.
Kardashian’s ensemble for the evening was a striking black leather gown featuring a crocodile-print corset and a dramatic train, complemented by a leather fedora, diamond necklaces, and a string of pearls draped around her hip. The outfit aligned with the gala’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” and the dress code, “Tailored for You.”
Accompanying Kardashian was her 11-year-old daughter, North West, who, while not attending the gala due to age restrictions, showcased her own fashion flair in a cow-print outfit and shared behind-the-scenes moments on TikTok.
The incident with the security guard added to the evening’s memorable moments, highlighting the challenges of navigating elaborate fashion in high-profile events. Despite the minor hiccup, Kardashian’s presence at the Met Gala continued to draw attention and spark discussions across media platforms.
