It was arguably one of the Metâs most meme-worthy moments of the night: Kim Kardashianâs (questionable) attire.
Kardashian wore a stand-out Balenciaga haute couture gown, complete with a long black train and full-face covering.
Naturally, the outfit was a catalyst for a Twitter frenzy, with some comparing the look to that of Harry Potterâs dementors or, more specifically, a âsleep paralysis demon.â

After a night of wild, yet hilarious, comparisons, the attention has since moved away from what the reality star was wearing. Instead, people want to know more about her face under the mask.
Kardashianâs make-up artist, Mario Badescu, posted a series of snaps to his Instagram () in the run-up to the Met Gala to showcase his glam skills.
While impressive, one Twitter user was quick to highlight what everyone was thinking:
âWas it worth it, Mario ????? Was it ????â

Just as everyone had started to get over last nightâs bizarre outfit, the tweet reignited an influx of humorous responses.
âThatâs like having a perfect Brazilian wax and then wearing your grannies undiesâ, one joked, while another suggested to âturn the outfit inside outâ to find out.

What may seem like hours wasted in hair and make up for the Met, Marioâs work was eventually unveiled to the world after Kardashian unmasked herself for Justin Bieberâs after-party in New York.

The 40-year-old donned yet another all-black Balenciaga Catwoman-inspired look â and left the face-covering at home. Instead, she remained incognito with a pair of sunglasses with her face partially visible.
