Kylie Jenner admits fears over her infamous 'hot mess' wedding dress at Met Gala

Kylie Jenner has revealed why she chose to wear an unusual wedding dress look for the Met Gala in May.

Speaking on the latest episode of The Kardashians, the 25 year old explains why she chose the striking look.

Kylie starts off by explaining that she had no plans at all to attend the annual fashion event, especially after giving birth to her second child.

However the cosmetics entrepreneur decided she would attend as a tribute to her late friend, Off-White founder Virgil Abloh.

Speaking in the latest episode of The Kardashians, the mum of two said: "I just had a baby and it just didn't feel like it was in me this year, and then, last minute, I thought, I would love to go and support Off-White and Virgil (Abloh) and that would just mean everything to me, so here we are."

The late designer passed away from a rare and aggressive form of cancer in November 2021 at just 41 years of age. The fashion world was shocked, and close friends including Kylie paid tribute to the designer once news of his death spread.

Kylie added: "I have very early memories with Virgil. He used to work with Kanye and I just felt like it would be really special to honour him and wear his clothes. I love his work. I love everything he's done, so it's very special."

In the episode, viewers will see Kylie don a a strapless white gown as she jokes: "It feels like my wedding day."

She adds: "When I first try it on it's giving me very wife, bridal vibes. I feel like I'm I'm a little concerned that it's gonna look like I'm getting married… but I also kinda love that."

Speaking to mum Kris Jenner, the pair debate whether the dress looks too bridal. Mum Kris comments: "You never know what will happen that night."

With Kylie replying: "You're right. Always be prepared to get married."

Kylie is then seen picking up the accessories she chooses for the final look; a backwards white snapback hat and chunky gold chain.

The episode also features sister Kendall, as she explains her decision to wear Prada to the infamous fashion event. Kendall said: "Since I went to Italy and walked for Prada, I am continuing my relationship with them and I'm going with them to the Met."

Kylie then adds her final rationale for choosing her bridal look: "This year I'm very stress-free. I don't care what people think. This dress is much more than just a dress for me. It's such a special night honouring my friend and his work and that's why I'm here."
