Kim K shocks in dominatrix outfit

Kardashian is in town for the Met Gala on Monday night. The venerable celebrity bash has drawn ever-increasing criticism in recent years for devolving from the height of haute couture to a three-ring fashion clown show.“It used to be the high-fashion event of the year,” said historian Bronwyn Cosgrave, who hosts the A Different Tweed podcast. “Now it’s an elaborately themed costume ball.”Kardashian’s Ritz-Carlton ensemble, all of it in black leather, included stiletto heel boots, loose-fitting pants, trench coat and complete head covering with room for a ponytail to stick out the back.The look is similar to the face masks worn by her former husband, rapper Kanye West, who Kardashian filed for divorce from in February this year.While West’s bizarre presidential run and Twitter tirades proved the nail in the coffin, it’s understood his infidelity and struggles with alcohol also strained the relationship.Breaking her silence on the divorce on the last ever episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which streams on Binge, the mother-of-four said she was starting to feel lonely in her marriage.“I’ve never ever thought I was lonely … I thought I could just have my kids, and my husband moves from state to state, and I’m on this ride with him and I was OK with that,” Kim said in the episode, which aired in June.“But after turning 40 this year I realised, ‘No, I don’t want a husband that lives in a completely different state’.“I thought that was when we were getting along best. But then that is sad to me. And that’s not what I want.”Despite the divorce, the billionaire KKW Beauty founder and reality star has been publicly supportive of West since the Donda promo tour kicked off.This story first appeared on the New York Post and has been republished with permission.
