She is known for her extravagant looks at the Met Gala including her stunning wet ensemble from Thierry Mugler in 2019 for the Camp theme.
But Kim Kardashian surprised many as she went for a completely minimalist look at fashion's biggest night.
The 40-year-old mogul completely covered up her face in an all-black head-to-toe Balenciaga ensemble including balaclava as she arrived at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday.

The ensemble designed by creative director Demna Gvasalia for the Paris-based high-fashion label featured several matching dark pieces including a T-Shirt dress over a curve T-Shirt with a bodysuit.
The black look had several intricate pieces despite the simplicity of its look as it also included jersey boots Pantaleggings.
The accessories were kept uniform as she also sported long gloves and a full-faced mask which kept her make-up under wraps.

According to TMZ, her estranged husband Kanye West will not attend the Meg Gala in person but was a driving force behind the look as he 'gave Kim the courage to push the envelope with creativity and people's imagination through art.'
The publication also reports that 44-year-old Donda rapper was the one who introduced the mother of his four kids to the 40-year-old Sokhumi-born designer Demna who walked the A-lister down the red carpet.
The Met Gala is finally back after being cancelled in 2020 amid the pandemic. This year it was pushed to September from its traditional slot on the first Sunday in May.

Honorary chairs for the evening will be designer Tom Ford, sponsor Instagram's Adam Mosseri, and Vogue's Anna Wintour.
At just 19, Billie will make history as the youngest ever co-chair of the prestigious event.
Kim Kardashian has never disappointed when hitting the annual Met Gala in New York City. Here is a look back at the styles the Keeping Up With The Kardashians vet has pulled off.
2013 - GIVENCHY
Her first time at the Met Gala was for PUNK: Chaos to Couture in 2013. She was pregnant with North and wore a floral print dress from Givenchy.
The California native said that she was not invited but rather was West's plus one. Sadly, after the gala she 'cried' because she was so insecure about everything.
'2103 Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy. I was Kanye's plus one & so nervous! I didn't know anyone & I'm sure no one wanted me there lol. I did my own lipstick & the color is so off. I went home & cried after of insecurity but this is one of my fave looks now.'
