When the Met Gala\u2019s \u201cCostume Art\u201d theme hit the headlines, the Kardashian\u2011Jenner family was front\u2011and\u2011center, walking the New York City red carpet in a flurry of high\u2011fashion statements. 58\u2011year\u2011old style icon Melissa Rivers took to Us Weekly<\/em> to give her verdict on the family\u2019s outfits, declaring that they \u201cgot the memo.\u201d Rivers didn\u2019t just give a thumbs\u2011up; she ranked each look from best to worst, offering a behind\u2011the\u2011scenes look at what made each ensemble stand out (or fall flat).<\/p>\n

The Costume Art Theme Explained<\/h2>\n

The Met Gala\u2019s 2026 theme, \u201cCostume Art,\u201d invites designers to explore the relationship between clothing and the human body, blurring the line between garment and skin. The idea is to create pieces that feel like an extension of the wearer, turning the body into a canvas for artistic expression. For the Kardashian\u2011Jenner family, this meant pushing boundaries with avant\u2011garde silhouettes, unexpected materials, and daring color palettes.<\/p>\n

Kylie Jenner\u2019s Schiaparelli Masterpiece<\/h2>\n

Rivers\u2019 top pick was Kylie Jenner\u2019s custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture look. The 28\u2011year\u2011old stunned in a nude\u2011top that flowed seamlessly into a white gown, giving the illusion that the gown was draping off her body. The design was a perfect embodiment of the \u201cCostume Art\u201d concept, marrying the human form with couture in a way that felt both intimate and sculptural. Rivers praised the look as \u201cspectacular,\u201d noting that it showcased the \u201cart of dressing and the art of fashion and the body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kendall Jenner\u2019s Zac Posen Statement<\/h2>\n

Next on Rivers\u2019 list was Kendall Jenner\u2019s cream\u2011colored GAP by Zac Posen gown. The minimalist silhouette highlighted Kendall\u2019s statuesque figure, while the soft hue added a touch of understated luxury. Rivers appreciated the elegance of the design, calling it a \u201cclassic\u201d that stayed true to the theme without over\u2011the\u2011top theatrics.<\/p>\n

Kim Kardashian\u2019s Bold Statement<\/h2>\n

Kim Kardashian, the family\u2019s fashion trailblazer, delivered a look that was both daring and polished. She chose a custom ensemble that blended metallic accents with a sleek, body\u2011conscious cut. While Rivers didn\u2019t rank Kim\u2019s outfit as the top pick, she acknowledged its impact, noting that Kim consistently pushes the envelope and sets the tone for the family\u2019s style narrative.<\/p>\n

Kris Jenner\u2019s Classic Touch<\/h2>\n

Kris Jenner, the matriarch, opted for a more subdued yet sophisticated look. Her outfit featured a tailored sheath dress in a muted tone, paired with subtle accessories that kept the focus on the garment itself. Rivers felt that Kris\u2019 choice was solid but didn\u2019t quite capture the \u201cCostume Art\u201d spirit to the same degree as the younger members\u2019 ensembles.<\/p>\n
