Kim Kardashian Channels Vintage Glamour with Iconic Mugler Couture Ensemble at Academy Museum Gala

Kim Kardashian turned heads at the 2024 Academy Museum Gala by diving into the Mugler archives for a show-stopping look. The reality star and entrepreneur opted for a striking ensemble from the French label’s spring 1998 couture collection. Her outfit featured a structured white corset paired with a matching hooded coat, embodying the bold, avant-garde style synonymous with Mugler. Kardashian, styled by her longtime collaborator Dani Levi, completed the look with a sparkling diamond necklace and PVC peep-toe heels, bringing a touch of modern glamour to the vintage couture.

Just earlier this month, Kardashian embraced a minimalist yet edgy aesthetic at ChainFest LA, an annual food festival that offers exclusive gourmet dishes from popular chain restaurants, some of which are crafted by Michelin-star chefs. For the event, she chose a sleek, all-black ensemble, consisting of a cropped t-shirt and low-rise leather moto pants, styled with sharp point-toe heels. She kept her accessories minimal, allowing the outfit’s boldness to take center stage.

Kardashian’s look for the gala was complemented by her signature dark waves, styled in an old Hollywood glam-inspired fashion. Her makeup, featuring soft pink blush and a nude lip, added a subtle, timeless elegance to her otherwise dramatic ensemble.

In September, Kardashian co-chaired the third annual Caring for Women dinner, hosted by Kering’s foundation, which celebrated its 16th anniversary. The event, aimed at raising funds to combat gender-based violence, brought in $2 million. The dinner, held in New York, was hosted by Salma Hayek, with a star-studded lineup of co-chairs that included Naomi Watts, Matthew McConaughey, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

The gala attracted notable guests wearing luxury designs from Kering’s portfolio of high-end brands. Kardashian, Watts, and Kerry Washington donned custom Balenciaga creations, while Salma Hayek, Raye, and Dakota Johnson stunned in Gucci gowns. The event’s host, Gayle King, opted for a bold Alexander McQueen ensemble, ensuring that the evening was as fashionable as it was meaningful.

The Academy Museum Gala, held annually in Los Angeles, serves as a key fundraising event for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. The gala supports the museum’s exhibitions and educational programs, spotlighting cinema’s past, present, and future.
