Kim Kardashian's Met Gala advice from Pete Davidson before rumoured red carpet debut

Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson are rumoured to be planning to walk the red carpet together at this year's Met Gala.

The SKIMS founder, 41, always turns heads at the fashion extravaganza, but fans are sure to be excited for the couple's debut at the glitzy bash next month.

The pair may also look back at fond memories from last year's Met Gala, where Pete, 28, shared some advice with Kim before they were dating, ahead of her hosting Saturday Night Live (SNL), it was revealed in her family's new show.

Kim details how the pair ran into one another at the glamourous Met Gala last September, where Kim memorably wore a head to toe black body stocking, which even covered her face.

As the nerves of hosting begin to get to the beauty mogul, she asks her team why she agreed to take on the presenting duties of the skit show.

Kim tells the Hulu cameras: “There's certain things in preparation that people are telling me to do that are making me way more nervous.”

Kim then continues: “I ran into Pete Davidson at the Met and I was like, ‘I'm so scared, I don't know what I signed up for’.

“He was like, ‘Can you read cue cards? You're good’. And I was like, 'I can read',” she laughed.

Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Kim revealed Pete tried to give her his number at the event, in case she needed any help with preparing.

But due to her dramatic outfit, which included gloves, she couldn't get her phone.

She remembered: “I was like, ‘Oh, I have gloves,’ and he was like ‘alright, cool’ and walked away. But I was gonna be like, ‘Oh, take mine!’ But it was like, no. So we never connected or anything.”

The next month the pair appeared on SNL together, sharing an on-stage kiss, and later started dating.

It was reported earlier this month that Kim is keen to take back the spotlight from older sister Kourtney, after she attended the Oscars ceremony with fiancé and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker.

Kourtney, 42, was able to attend the Oscars as 46-year-old Travis was performing as part of the awards’ house band.

A source spilled the details to Heat magazine, saying: “After seeing Kourtney grab all the attention, Kim is making it her mission to make the Met Gala her big red-carpet debut as a couple with boyfriend Pete Davidson.

“She is desperate for them to have the Mets as their red-carpet debut and nothing is going to get in her way.

"She wants to up the stakes after Kourtney’s big moment – it may sound petty, but Kim and her sisters are still fiercely competitive.”

The theme of this year's Met Gala, to be held in New York, is In America: An Anthology of Fashion, which "celebrates the unsung heroes of US design", according to Vogue.
