Kim Kardashian may have turned heads at the 2025 Academy Museum Gala, but her makeup artist apparently wasn’t thrilled with her look.
The Kardashians star attended the Los Angeles event on Saturday (October 18) wearing a nude Maison Margiela couture gown that covered her face with a sheer veil.
“You know, I love Margiela,” Kardashian told Variety on the red carpet. “I flew in my favorite makeup artist Mario [Dedivanovic] from New York, and this is kind of a last-minute thing, so I’m sure he’s not so happy with it.”
The SKIMS founder confirmed that she was in “full hair and makeup” under the veil, sharing photos of the look in an Instagram carousel.
“It does look very SKIMS-y,” she told Variety. “That’s why I was drawn to it when the Margiela couture show came out. I saw this look and I was like, ‘That is so Skims to me.’”
Kardashian also opened up about SKIMS’ new furry “Ultimate Bush” thong collection, which instantly went viral after its release last week — and sparked plenty of mixed reactions.
“That was just a fun idea that I had,” she said. “There was a shoot, and someone wanted to, like, have hair down there once. And I was like, ‘Couldn’t this just be easy and have it on a thong?’”
She added, “And so we made that happen. I had no idea that it would get that reaction and sell out in a few minutes.”
Kardashian’s Academy Museum Gala look also drew comparisons to her 2021 Met Gala outfit — a black Balenciaga head mask and bodysuit — which she wore after developing a close relationship with the brand through her then-husband, Ye.
