In her speech, she told the audience her dress had unzipped and exposed the SKIMS shapewear she had on underneath, People reported at the time.

"Thank god I had SKIMS on, or this would have been a very different kind of show tonight," Kardashian joked.

When Kim Kardashian stepped out in a floral patterned Givenchy gown for her Met Gala debut in 2013, she had no way of knowing it would be the dress that launched a thousand couch memes.

Discussing the outfit in a fashion look-back video with Vogue in 2019, she said she broke into tears the whole way home after the gala.

"I was crying, like, the whole way home because I just couldn't believe it," she said. "There were all these memes about me and this couch."

According to the Belfast Telegraph, Kim and her ex-partner Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, used the code word "yellow jacket moment" when referring to a fashion faux pas, which started after she was seen walking around Miami in a mustard-colored jacket that she said was ill-fitting.

"One time in Miami where I wore this yellow suede jacket, and it was tighter here [at the wrists] and the sleeves got big and it was cropped, and oversized," she said, according to the publication. "It would look really cute on someone that was tall and it was not for my body type."

It's unclear whether Kendall Jenner was aware that her all-grey post-flight ensemble in Nice, France was sheer.

She also stirred up some dress-code controversy by wearing a pair of jean shorts during Cannes Film Festival.

Khloe Kardashian needed to improvise quickly before her appearance on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" in 2021. Speaking to People afterward, she said that the t-shirt she planned to wear on the program split last-minute down the back.
