Fans have worshiped Kim Kardashian as a fashion goddess for years. But Anna Wintour doesn't seem the type to be pleased by a filtered selfie. It took time for Vogue's elusive editor to build enough confidence in the famous socialite to put her on the coveted Met Gala guest list. And it's possible that she immediately regretted her decision to expand the elite circle upon seeing Kim K turn up in floral upholstery.
For her first appearance at the 2013 gala as her then-partner Kanye West's plus one, Kardashian made an underwhelming statement in a Riccardo Tisci dress that did little to flatter her glam quotient but did lots for memes on the internet. Even Robin Williams got in on the fun, proclaiming that he pulled off the floral dress better as Mrs. Doubtfire than Kardashian did (via The Hollywood Reporter)!
As Tisci later explained to Women's Wear Daily, the flowers were a symbolic offering to Kardashian, who was heavily pregnant at the time. "People can say what they want," the Givenchy designer concluded. Kardashian wasn't as indifferent to the wide trolling as Tisci, revealing to Vogue that she "was crying, like, the whole way home because I just couldn't believe it." We can't say the same, but Kardashian eventually warmed to what is now infamously known as the couch dress — well, good for her!
