Meanwhile, Kardashian’s sister Kendall Jenner, present at the gala in a more conventional gown, appeared to keep her distance on the red carpet, avoiding getting caught next to the SKIMS founder.

The masked appearance comes just days after Kardashian posed with her mother, Kris Jenner, at the All’s Fair premiere. Some social media users speculated that Kim looked annoyed with Kris for stealing attention while dressed to the nines in Givenchy.

Another theory swirling online suggests the mask might be a clever way to hide recent cosmetic procedures — a rumor that has been circulating ever since the look first appeared.

Whether it’s a bold fashion statement, a playful nod to past headlines, or a strategic cover-up, one thing is clear: Kim Kardashian’s latest red carpet moment has everyone talking. What do you think — genius move or fashion misstep?
