From loneliness to anger: Body language expert decodes Kardashians’ behaviour on Met Gala carpet
Tense times on the blue carpet
The Met Gala blue carpet was all glitz and glam, but according to body language experts, the Kardashian-Jenners were telling a whole different story, without saying a word. From Kylie’s solo strut to Kim’s stiff poses and Kendall’s distant vibes, their body language might have revealed more than their outfits. Were they really as confident as they seemed? Or was something off? Two experts break down the subtle signals, and the results are surprisingly juicy.
Kim Kardashian was ‘visibly nervous’
It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian gets nervous for the Met Gala.
Even after all these years, she has admitted in interviews how some years have felt as if she was getting ready for a wedding day!
However, it turns out she’s actually “visibly nervous” on the blue carpet, according to celebrity body language experts Anna Osborne and Inbaal Honigman via Casino.ca.
“Kim appears visibly nervous in her dress even before anyone steps on her train. She’s seen taking tiny, tiptoe-like steps, the only way she can move in such a tightly fitted gown, and her hands are tensely gripping her sides. Her fingers are splayed, as if bracing for a possible stumble,” they explain.
“When a security attendant accidentally steps on Kim’s train and nearly causes her to trip, Kim’s posture barely shifts. She’s been walking so cautiously that her body is already prepared for any disruption. A fall was unlikely, she was too tense and controlled for that. Still, she’s clearly annoyed and immediately turns to address the situation.”
The body language pros explain how Kim’s “…hand flies backwards in a dismissive gesture, essentially ‘shooing’ the interference away…”
She manages to stay in control of the situation, despite being “nervous” and almost being tripped up.
They add: “…she calls out, her chin jutting sharply to assert herself and ensure she’s heard. Kim then turns back and continues walking, flicking her hair over her shoulder – a classic sign of assertiveness, signalling that she’s in control.”
Experts say Kendall looks ‘lonely’
Kendall Jenner seems to be more of a lone ranger among her family members. Much like her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, she’s unafraid to carve her own path and likes sticking to her treasured traditions.
Kendall’s an independent woman, that’s for sure. But, apparently, she looked “lonely” at the Met Gala.
“With her fingers tensed into fists, and her lips tight, Kendall cuts a lonely figure,” the experts explain.
“As she poses, her moves are quick and businesslike, and her expression neutral, barely smiling at all.
“Her lips remain tense, showing that she’s not having the best time. Her tight hands, curled into little fists, suggest anxiety.”
Kylie Jenner oozes the opposite energy
As the celebrity body language experts decode Kendall’s “anxiety,” it seems Kylie is loving life in the spotlight.
Kylie’s other half, Timothée Chalamet, was nowhere to be seen at the Met Gala in 2025, but it appeared she was totally happy on the blue carpet.
“The youngest Jenner sister walks the blue carpet like she owns it. This is a lady totally comfortable in her own skin, comfortable with her life choices and happy to champion herself.
“Her confidence begins with her strong leg stance. Slightly parted and standing so straight that her knees are locking, Kylie’s legs say that she feels secure, confident and totally at home at the Met Gala.”
“Her arm gestures are large, bold and flowy, as she feels happy being fully herself.
The beauty mogul’s facial expression is that of sheer happiness; her smile is open and inviting, with her teeth exposed, and her eyes looking directly ahead.
“There’s an enthusiasm to her body language that indicates her delight and apparent surprise that she gets to do this at all.”
Seems Kylie is loving life at the Met Gala!
