Kim Kardashian was always the queen of Met Gala pregnancy looks.
Hours ahead of fashion’s biggest night on May 4, 2026, the reality TV star surprised fans with a pregnancy photo as she looked back at all of her iconic Met Gala looks as she prepared for her 13th consecutive appearance this year.
“Year 13 is loading…” she captioned the post, confirming that she will be gracing the Met Gala red carpet this year after skipping last year.
The first photo was from Kardashian’s first-ever Met Gala look in 2013, when she was pregnant with her and then-husband Kanye West’s first child, North West. For her Met Gala debut, Kim wore a custom Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown made of floral print jersey.
The second photo showed the mother-of-four trying on her 2014 Met Gala dress – a blue strapless Lanvin gown with a black waistband and thigh-high slit.
The SKIMS founder upped her game the next year in a sheer, crystal-embroidered Roberto Cavalli gown with feather detailing and a long train, with the entire look inspired by Cher.
At the time, she was pregnant with her second child, Saint West, who was born on December 5, 2015.
Kardashian continued to outshine herself in the years that followed.
In 2016, she stunned in a futuristic Balmain look that she described as a “bling sexy robot.”
Following her robbery in Paris in October 2016, Kardashian was hesitant to wear much jewelry to the 2017 Met Gala and kept things simple in an off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood Couture corset dress.
However, she turned up the heat again in 2018 – months after welcoming her third child, Chicago West, in a custom Versace dress in gold ring with embroidered crosses.
2019 was one of Kardashian’s most memorable looks to date, with a custom Thierry Mugler gown envisioning her as “this California girl stepping out of the ocean, wet, dripping.” Just days later, she welcomed her fourth child, Psalm West, via surrogate.
In the first Met Gala since the 2021 pandemic, Kardashian turned heads in an all-black Balenciaga gown, including a full face mask and gloves to cover her entire body. It was also the year she filed for divorce from Ye.
The next year, Kardashian attended the Met Gala with her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson, wearing an iconic Marilyn Monroe dress, which earned her a lot of backlash.
In 2023, she stunned in a custom Schiaparelli haute couture design by Daniel Roseberry with a draped skirt and top adorned with more than 50,000 freshwater pearls and 16,0000 crystal pearls.
2024’s Met Gala saw Kardashian bring back her cinched-waist look with a silver corset and lace train with leaf and floral accents. The dress was a custom Margiela by John Galliano.
After skipping the Met Gala in 2025, Kardashian – who has entered a new chapter of her life after striking up a relationship with Lewis Hamilton – now has fans on the edge of their seats with what she has planned this year.
