On October 14, 2025, Kim Kardashian arrived at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles wearing a striking Margiela couture mask that completely obscured her face. Kardashian revealed that the look, which she described as "Skims-y," was inspired by the latest Margiela couture show. She had flown in her favorite makeup artist from New York for the last-minute ensemble.
Kardashian also made headlines for the launch of a new limited edition line of $32 "faux hair micro string thongs" under her Skims brand. The unusual product, which she says was inspired by a recent photoshoot, sold out within minutes of going on sale.
Despite the attention-grabbing mask, it is unclear whether Kardashian removed it for the gala's dinner and program. The event honored several high-profile figures, including Penélope Cruz, Walter Salles, Bruce Springsteen, and Bowen Yang.
