Met Gala 2025: Luann de Lesseps Reacts to Kim Kardashian Comparisons
It might be time for Luann de Lesseps to invite Kim Kardashian to join her cabaret show.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum chimed in with her thoughts after many social media users compared the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s 2025 Met Gala fashion to the 59-year-old’s cabaret look.
After one fan quipped on X (formerly Twitter) May 6, “Kim paying homage to @CountessLuann was my favorite part of #MetGala last night,” Luann responded to the post with several laugh-crying emojis.
The countess also shared multiple Instagram Stories of fans comparing Kim’s look to hers, showing her hysterical reaction throughout. She even gave a shoutout to Philip Treacy, from whom she gets her cabaret hats.
“It’s no secret I love my @philiptreacy hats,” Luann wrote on her Instagram Story May 6 alongside a side-by-side comparison of herself and Kim. “After all darlings, he was the hatter for the Queen of England.”
For her part, Kim—who was styled by Jahleel Weaver and donned a black leather dress by Chrome Hearts with a matching black hat by Stephen Jones Millinery, as well as multiple Moussaieff diamond necklaces across her chest with sparkling earrings to match—has not chimed in on the comparisons.
Instead, she opted to name musicians Lenny Kravitz, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis as inspirations for the look she chose to meet the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme’s “Tailored for You” dress code.
“Inspired by Lenny Kravitz, a modern dandy whose fluid, bold aesthetic, alongside icons like Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis, pioneered distinct and culturally significant aesthetics - shaping the way men dress for generations to come,” the SKIMS founder wrote in a May 6 Instagram post. “Lenny’s signature Chrome Hearts style perfectly captures the spirit of this theme - Black style, razor-sharp tailoring, and dandy tradition.”
