Kim Kardashian<\/a> has spilled the details behind her seriously NSFW Met Gala<\/a> outfit, and it\u2019s a lot.<\/p>\n

Turning up to the 2026 Met Gala, Kim fully committed to the “fashion as art” theme with a look that was inspired heavily by fetish territory. The reality star and SKIMS founder stepped out in a bold orange fibreglass breastplate, teamed with a leather skirt, giving a futuristic-but-also-kind-of-dominatrix vibe.<\/p>\n

Kim later revealed her outfit was based on work by pop artist Allen Jones, specifically linked to Maitresse\u2014a 1970s project originally tied to a film poster. The artwork, which Kim shared on her Instagram Story, depicts “the unfolding of an obsessive romance between a small-time crook and a professional dominatrix,” according to the Michael Werner Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The film itself is just as intense, featuring themes like sex dungeons, BDSM, urophilia and all. It even caused major controversy back in the day, with the British Board of Film Classification banning it in 1976.<\/p>\n

Naturally, Kim said she\u2019s been into Jones\u2019 work for a while, explaining on the red carpet: “I have seen his work referenced so many times by people in fashion,” before adding: “I\u2019ve always been, like, a big admirer of his work.”<\/p>\n
