Kim Kardashian mocked for bizarre mask at California gala – the theory behind it
A sock-like mask
Kim Kardashian, 44, has long been a fixture on the red carpet, turning heads with daring outfits that blur the line between fashion and spectacle. From curve-hugging gowns to avant-garde ensembles, the reality star and entrepreneur has made it her signature move to push style boundaries, and spark conversation while doing it.
Just as Kim Kardashian is no stranger to turning heads, the Academy Museum Gala in California is no stranger to jaw-dropping fashion. But this year, it wasn’t her gown that stole the spotlight, it was her head.

It wasn’t Kardashian’s first head-turning masked moment.
Back in 2021, she attended the same gala in an all-black Balenciaga catsuit with a cape, her head entirely concealed. But even repeat stunts didn’t soften the shock this time. And of course, social media users were quick to react.
”I didn’t realize that there was a Botox shortage until this,” one user wrote.
