Kim Kardashian had quite the shocker when she was pictured dashing back to her hotel after attending the Met Gala in her Schiaparelli naked pearl dress on Monday.
While she looked incredible at the start of the night, it turns out wearing strings of beads is not the most practical choice on any sort of evening out.
While she stepped out of the car, Kim, 42, looked like could easily trip up over the strands of pearls in her killer heels.
And sadly she did get herself in a bit of a taffle, because minutes later, the strings of pearls were pictured looking broken and hanging from the garment in shreds.
The fashion icon left a trail of pearls on the floor and shocked Kim could be seen looking down at the damage as she ran inside the hotel, cutting her night short.

Pete and Kim went their separate ways after nine months in August 2022 – an insider told us that the pair ha decided to just be friends – citing demanding schedules and the long distance as Pete worked on a project in Australia while Kim is based in the U.S.
Oh no! No doubt Schiaparelli will be pretty peeved to hear about what has happened to the creation they made especially for Kim

Since 1948, stars have ascended the majestic staircase into a very exclusive party where no selfies are allowed.
This year, the ball’s theme is Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. The late German designer was Chanel’s long-time creative director. He passed at age 85 in 2019.
His beloved cat, Choupette, has even been invited to the festivities.
The decision to honor Karl has sparked controversy given the many offensive remarks he has made over the years, from slamming the #MeToo movement to opposing same-sex marriage.
‘I’m against it for a very simple reason: In the 60s they all said we had the right to the difference. And now, suddenly, they want a bourgeois life,’ he told Vice of same-sex marriage.
‘It’s difficult to imagine—one of the papas at work and the other at home with the baby. How would that be for the baby? I don’t know. I see more lesbians married with babies than I see boys married with babies. And I also believe more in the relationship between mother and child than in that between father and child.’
While he ultimately showed his support for same-sex marriage at his spring 2013 Chanel haute couture show, he still said he was ‘less keen’ on same-sex couples adopting children, according to AP.

Along with the Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, who runs and hosts the annual event, the 2023 MET Gala will also be co-hosted by Penelope Cruz, Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel and also Roger Federer.
While the show may be known for its glitzy and over-the-top red carpet – with details of what occurs inside often remaining mysterious – at its heart, it is a fundraising event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Last year, the 2022 MET Gala alone raised a grand total of $17.4 million, reported Billboard.
This year the price of admission has been raised from $30,000 to $50,000, according to Page Six.
Even if you have the funds, that doesn’t guarantee you entry into the party.
Every guest has to be invited, and a waiting list exists for the coveted golden ticket.
And status matters, according to The New York Times, meaning the hottest stars are a shoo in for an invite.
