Kim Kardashian mocked for bizarre mask at California gala – the theory behind it
”Looks like one of those crazy looking pumpkin heads,” another added.
”Worst dressed star”
Outlets didn’t hold back either.
The article noted, “Among the style blunders at the Annual Academy Museum Gala was a peculiar masked look from none other than red carpet queen Kim Kardashian.” Fans echoed the criticism, and some confusion, online.
One user on X likened it to a tongue-in-cheek “cover the face with a brown bag” joke: “Guarantee you it isn’t the first time somebody had to cover her face!” another chimed in.

Others took a lighter approach. “Definitely a better look, than what she usually covers her face with,” one fan wrote.
Connections to her past relationships weren’t lost on commenters either. “So… she has a face. Never noticed till now,” wrote one observer, while another added, “Oh look, Kanye’s ex wife acting like Kanye.”
One theory stood out
The parallels to her 2021 appearance were obvious. That all-black Balenciaga ensemble, complete with pointed shoes and a flowing fork-tailed cape, had drawn comparisons to Kanye West’s current wife, Bianca.
