Kim Kardashian opened up about her 2013 Met Gala look saying she was ‘insecure’ about her dress and cried after seeing memes about it.
The mother of four was pregnant with daughter North when she attended the 2013 Met Gala.
The 39-year-old star donned a floral-print gown to the 2013 Met Gala and trollers left no chance to mock her.
In a new video for Vogue, Kim talked about her best and worst outfits to date and also shared her feelings after getting trolled for her 2013 Met Gala dress.
“I was very pregnant, very puffy and bloated and I was like, ‘Oh god, of course, the first time I go I’m gonna be huge,” she said.
“Kanye [West] was performing so I wasn’t actually invited, I was just Kanye’s plus one. And that was okay with me because I never really dreamed I would be at the Met Ball,” she said, adding, “I know no one really probably wanted me there at the time.”
“We chose a really stretchy fabric because I would be growing and we wanted to make sure that alterations were easy and it was comfortable,” she said, noting that there were initially two versions of the dress: a black one, and the floral-print style, which they eventually chose.
“I was like, ‘I think I should just do the black version,’ and Riccardo was like, ‘No, c’mon, we have to do the floral,’ ” she explained, adding the the designer later gave a sweet explanation for his choice. “Riccardo said afterwards, ‘What do you give a woman who is pregnant? You send her flowers.’ ”
“I could never really speak up at that point because I so shy and just wanted to make everybody happy,” she recalled, adding that she eventually agreed on the printed option after Tisci told her that Anna Wintour, Vogue‘s editor-in-chief who co-chairs the annual event, was also pushing for it.
Social media users started making memes and even Robin Williams took a dig at Kim’s outfit.
Kim added: “I think Robin Williams even tweeted it, said I looked like Mrs. Doubtfire, I was crying the whole way home because I just couldn’t believe it.”
But there were two people who did like Kim’s outfit and they were Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.
“I just remember the Olsen twins came up to me and loved my outfit and my gloves, so none of the critics mattered because the Olsen twins approved,” Kim added, saying that now that time has passed, she also loves the look. “Now it’s like sick.”
