Kim Kardashian stuns in orange pointy dress at Met Gala, Lewis Hamilton absent

This year, Kim Kardashian made a solo entrance at the Met Gala in a controversial outfit, despite her budding romance with Formula One icon, Lewis Hamilton.

The founder of Skims dazzled in her distinctive Met Gala ensemble, showcasing her curves – with a focus on pointy details and a sculpted waist.

At 45, Kim dared to go without pants for fashion’s grand occasion, choosing an orange corset accompanied by a lengthy train crafted from beige leather.

The glossy, orange attire included built-in designs for a daring look, echoing a similar style by her sister Kylie Jenner’s Met Gala outfit worn the same night.

The corset closely embraced every curve of Kim’s renowned figure, flowing down to form a skirt at the hips but leaving the front entirely open.

Although the bottom was quite revealing, the top was more reserved, extending up to her neck.

Kim switched up her usual dark hair for a blonde look to finish off her outfit.

Fans who expected to see her with Lewis were surprised when Kim chose to attend the event with her mother, Kris Jenner.

Although Lewis, 41, skipped the night's affairs, Kim has previously brought her partners to the gala.

Back in 2022, Kim made headlines by attending with her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson.

She first appeared at the Met Gala in 2013 with then-boyfriend Kanye West.

After that, the duo attended twice as a married couple – initially in 2016 and later in 2019.

Given her past of escorting a partner to the gala, fans eagerly looked forward to seeing her with Lewis, but the champion driver was a no-show.

For months, speculation surrounding Kim and Lewis’s romance has grown following several public appearances together.

The two, who have known each other for years, have been spotted together around the world recently, with their closeness capturing public and media attention.

Their connection traces back to 2014, first at the GQ Men of the Year Awards, where Kim was with Kanye and Lewis was with Nicole Scherzinger.

During that period, their interaction seemed to be just another star-studded rendezvous.

In the ensuing years, their paths continued to cross at major events, such as being pictured at the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards in 2021, highlighting their lasting friendship.

The buzz intensified in late 2025, when both attended a New Year’s Eve bash in Aspen hosted by Kate Hudson.

Although they kept it low-key at the time, fans later recalled the sighting as a potential milestone.

Early in 2026, the speculation peaked with photos showing them arriving separately but only minutes apart at a high-end hotel in the Cotswolds.

The timing raised curiosity, sparking reports of their private rendezvous inside.

Days afterwards, they were spotted seated closely at the 2026 Super Bowl, engaging in animated conversation in viral clips that had fans buzzing.

Their joint sightings didn’t slow down, with reports placing them together at significant events in Europe, like Coachella, along with various international getaways.
