Kim Kardashian's Met Gala Balenciaga Full Cover (2021)

Kim Kardashian's 2021 Met Gala Balenciaga look is the most conceptually extreme red carpet outfit in history, a complete black full-body covering that erased every human feature. The ensemble, designed by Demna, sparked over 500,000 memes within 48 hours, with debates on whether fashion had vanished into pure abstraction. The full-face mask and bodysuit were crafted from a single piece of molded latex, taking 200 hours to produce, yet cost an estimated $50,000.
