“This is kind of a last-minute thing, so I’m sure he’s not so happy with it,” she said. Kardashian also mentioned that she planned to remove the mask once inside the gala.
The star connected the look to her own brand, saying, “It does look very Skims-y. 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.’” It remains unclear whether she wore the mask during the gala’s dinner and program.
