AlthoughNorth Westdid not attend theMet Gala, she did walk out of the Ritz-Carlton entrance in New York City on Monday with her motherKim Kardashian!
Kardashian’s eldest daughter, 9, joined Kardashian, 42, for the car ride to the gala, wearing a vintage Chanel jacket fromWhat Goes Around Comes Around, jeans, and a conch shell clutch, per social media.
The reason why North did not grace this year’s carpet? As of 2018, Met Gala attendees must be 18 or older, according toThe Hollywood Reporter.
In 2018, the Met Gala’s theme was"Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination," and the admittance of anyone under the age of 18 was prohibited. That year’s theme was deemed “not an appropriate event” for those under the legal age, according to a spokesperson, perThe Hollywood Reporter.

“I wanted pearls,” Kardashian toldVogue. “I thought, ‘What is more Karl [Lagerfield]?’ You know, the iconic Chanel pearls is what I always thought of. So we wanted to just be dripping in pearls.”
The gown took one-dozen artisans 1,000 hours to craft.
The Kardashians’star admitted that “some popped on the way, and I told my daughter to grab them all. They’re real pearls and she was putting them all in her purse.”
