As she’s known for, Kim Kardashian went all-out for her 2023 MET Gala look, which literally took thousands of hours (and dollars) to create.

The reality star showed up to the iconic event in a custom Schiaparelli design, created by Daniel Roseberry. It featured a molded, blush-colored corset, with strings of pearls covering Kim’s bust and legs. She accessorized with an oversized, white jacket and an embellished choker.

It’s not known how much the look cost to make, but it likely carries a high price tag considering that 50,000 freshwater pearls were used in its creation. The unique dress also took over 1,000 hours to create by hand.

This year’s MET theme was "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," an homage to Karl Lagerfeld, the late creative director of Chanel who passed away in February 2019.

“Focusing on the designer’s stylistic vocabulary as expressed in aesthetic themes that appear time and again in his fashions from the 1950s to his final collection in 2019, the show will spotlight the German-born designer’s unique working methodology,” the MET museum described of this year’s theme.

Speaking to Vogue, Kim explained that she thought a dress draped in pearls was an appropriate nod to Lagerfeld, who often used the gems in his designs.

"I wanted pearls. I thought, 'What is more Karl?' You know, the iconic Chanel pearls is what I always thought of. So we wanted to just be dripping in pearls,'" Kim explained.

Apparently, not all of the pearls had an easy time staying on during the evening. Kim admitted to several falling off and having her eldest daughter, North, 9, collect them “Some popped on the way, and I told my daughter to grab them all,” Kim admitted. They're real pearls and she was putting them all in her purse."

It’s not uncommon for MET Gala looks to cost tens of thousands or even millions. One report said the average MET look costs between $5,000 to $35,000. Sometimes the accessories alone are worth small fortunes.

This year, for instance, Dua Lipa showed up in a Tiffany & Co. necklace valued at $10 million. Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra rocked a diamond necklace that’s expected to soon sell for $25 million on the auction block.

Kim wore an extra-expensive look to the Met Gala in 2022 – Marilyn Monroe’s former dress that she sang “Happy Birthday Mr. President” in the ‘60s, which usually sits on display at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not museum.

With over 2,500 crystals, the dress is valued at $4.8 million. Kim faced backlash for wearing the frock, which she reportedly damaged in doing so. At least for this year’s gala, she chose a look that’ significantly less controversial.
