Kim Kardashian stuns in a chic John Galliano slip dress and Chanel clutch at the Time 100 Gala. Effortlessly elegant with a touch of glamor!

Earlier in the day, Kardashian seemingly hinted that she’ll be attending this year’s Met Gala.

Kim Kardashian attended the Time 100 Gala in New York City on Wednesday in a silk ivory bias-cut slip dress by John Galliano, which featured bedazzled buckle straps.

Kardashian added on a set of four layered necklaces, including a cross pendant, a 17-carat pear-shaped diamond pendant, and a large diamond ring, all by Messika. She also carried a plexiglass Chanel conch clutch, which debuted on the runway at Paris Fashion Week in spring 2012.

The reality star’s hip-length hair was styled in beachy waves. She borrowed her sister Kylie Jenner’s longtime makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, who gave Kardashian a smokey eye, pink blush and muted pink lip liner.

Kardashian’s Chanel clutch may offer a clue into her look for the Met Gala, which takes place on May 1. Earlier on Wednesday, she seemingly ended any speculation that she hadn’t been invited the annual fete.

On Instagram, Kardashian posted photos of a visit to the late Karl Lagerfeld’s office in Paris. She even posed with the designer’s cat, Choupette.

“Had a date with @choupetteofficiel in Paris,” she wrote. “We then spent some time at @karllagerfeld’s office to get a little inspiration for the Met.”

This year’s Met Gala honors Lagerfeld’s decades-long career in fashion. The dress code is “in honor of Karl.”
