I am so excited to introduce the most pearlfect guest

at The Met Gala, Kim Kardashian.

Yes.

I love that

You're always one of the most talked

about people here on The Met Gala Red Carpet.

Do you feel pressure to outdo yourself every year?

What's your process?

I did, but this year I just wanted to feel glamorous.

I really didn't feel the pressure.

I just wanted to have a good time.

I took a shot before I came with my sisters.

My daughter was in the room with me.

She's actually in the car watching us, you know

all walk up the red carpet.

So it was just like a glamorous night.

And now I have a silly question.

What was it like meeting the famous Chupe?

A little scary, you know

it takes a little while to warm up to her.

She wrote me a sweet note and left it in my room.

We spent some time together before this.

Kim actually, you sent me a video

of you and Chupe having a little bit of a cat fight.

Ooh.

Did you guys kiss and make up?

We did.

Okay. That's the pictures

that I showed of us in the bedroom

Yes. laying on the bed.

I think she was intimidated by all the people, so

Yes. Yeah, we had a love fest.

And most importantly

tell us about what you're wearing tonight.

Yes. Who did, who designed this?

This is Daniel for Schiaparelli

and you know, I wanted pearls.

I thought, what is more Karl?

You know, the iconic Chanel pearls

is what I always thought of.

So we wanted to just be dripping in pearls

All the way down if you can see this,

mother of pearl, she's mothering.

She's, we're trying to be Gen Z.

We're trying to.

We're trying and failing.

Some popped on the way

and I told my daughter to grab them all.

They're real pearls.

And she was putting 'em all in her purse.

Are they real pearls?

They are.

All right, well then I think I'm gonna follow you

around all night too.

Yeah.

If you need me to pick up a pearl

I'm your girl. When's Mothers Day,

Khloe and I are gonna make some pearl necklaces

for our mother out of the remnants of your Met look.

Well, thank you so much

and we can't wait to see you inside.
