Kim Kardashian is well practised in making a fashion statement and this year's Met Gala outfit was no exception.
The reality TV star, 40, arrived on the red carpet decked head to toe in black regalia including a clinging balaclava that fully covered her face.
As well as the face covering, the full-body outfit included a figure-hugging black T-shirt dress with balloon sleeves, skin-tight trousers and kitten-heeled boots.
Kardashian West’s ensemble was designed by Balenciaga's creative director Demna Gvasalia in collaboration with West, according to Vogue.
Despite it's simplicity, the all-black look had several intricate design features, including the jersey boots.
The fashion and beauty entrepreneur also sported long gloves and a full-face mask which kept her make-up hidden.
Her hair was pulled from the back of the balaclava in a sleek ponytail with long extensions which hung below her waist.
Of course social media had thoughts about the outfit, with some comparing the look to a Dementor from Harry Potter, while others claimed she looked like the Grim Reaper or a wraith from Lord of the Rings.
