The US Navy shot out the rudder of an Iran blockade runner with a Super Hornet’s 20 mm cannon

An F/A-18E Super Hornet, attached to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 151, launches from the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) during Operation Epic Fury, March 31, 2026.

  • A US Navy fighter jet disabled the rudder of an Iranian-flagged tanker on Wednesday with its 20 mm cannon.
  • The tanker was trying to bypass the blockade of Iran’s ports, the US military said.
  • It’s the second time the US has used force against an Iranian commercial ship in recent weeks.

A US Navy fighter jet knocked out the rudder of an Iranian-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman on Wednesday using its 20 mm cannon, the American military said.

The incident is the second time that the Navy has used force to disable an Iranian commercial vessel since the Trump administration began its blockade of maritime traffic going in and out of Iranian ports last month.

US Central Command, which oversees American forces in the Middle East, said it observed the unladen tanker M/T Hasna as it transited international waters en route to an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman.

The ship “failed to comply” with repeated US military warnings that it was sailing in violation of the blockade, CENTCOM said. A Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet that launched from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln fired several rounds from its 20 mm cannon gun into the Hasna’s rudder.

In addition to the missiles the carrier-based fighter jet is able to carry on the wings, the Super Hornet is armed with an internal 20 mm M61A2 six-barrel rotary cannon.

CENTCOM said that it disabled the tanker, which is “no longer transiting to Iran.” It added that the blockade of Iran’s ports “remains in full effect.”

Last month, a Navy destroyer fired nine inert rounds from its 5-inch deck gun into the engine room of an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel trying to evade the blockade in the Arabian Sea. It marked a rare use of force by the Navy against a non-combat vessel.

The front of the USS Spruance is seen at night with another vessel next to it conducting an at-sea refueling.
The USS Spruance (DDG 111) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer.

The Navy destroyer, USS Spruance, intercepted the Iranian-flagged cargo boat M/V Touska, which was sailing toward Iran through the Arabian Sea at 17 knots. The Navy said that it issued several warnings, which the Touska ignored. The Spruance then ordered the evacuation of the engine room and opened fire.

The engagement disabled the vessel, which was subsequently boarded by Marines.

The US military operation against Iran, Operation Epic Fury, has concluded. The more recent focus has been on securing ship movement through the Strait of Hormuz as part of a new initiative called “Project Freedom,” though that was paused Wednesday as Washington and Tehran discuss a deal.

In recent days, US Navy vessels have been working to clear a path through the strait and establish a defensive umbrella for commercial ships to travel under. Iran has fired drones and missiles at commercial and military vessels in the area. The US has fended off threats and responded with force, including by using helicopters to sink Iranian small boats.

I went from no kids to twins. I’m still learning how to be a dad.

Dad with twin daughters
  • I went from zero to two kids, and you grossly underestimate experiencing life before twins.
  • There is nothing in this world to prepare you for becoming a twin parent.
  • The Married Single Parent thing is a real phenomenon, so I step up as best as I can.

In February 2019, at 12:23 and 12:24 p.m., my life changed in an instant.

On the second night after my twin girls were born, we wanted them to sleep in the room with us. That night was the exact moment when I realized that twin parenthood is a totally different beast.

We were constantly awakened because one child would fall back asleep, only for the other to wake up shortly after. That cycle continued the entire night. Needless to say, we sent them back to the nursery so we could get some sleep.

A few days later, we were discharged to go home, and the journey began: adjusting to being twin parents.

My wife and I enjoyed being DINKs

Before kids, my wife and I traveled, had plenty of late nights, bar-hopped, attended Beychella, and enjoyed the freedom of being a DINK couple. Then, in the summer of 2018, we found out we were going to be parents.

Dad holding twins
The author says having twins made him softer in a good way.

We really underestimated this and didn’t know how much life was about to change.

Nothing actually prepares you for becoming a parent. I’m seven years into this, and I’m still learning. Going from zero to two overnight was a shocker, and nobody can ever prepare you for this.

It feels like you are being herded as fast as possible through a narrow hallway that doesn’t end, and the anxiety of what happens next is always on your tail. The first, and obvious, change is finances. Everything is in twos: formula, clothes, private school tuition, everything. One of the beauties of having a gap in kids is the hand-me-down factor. With multiples, you don’t get that.

My mom did her best to teach me the ins and outs of home operations from her side of the house. Then, when parenthood came along, I went into focus mode so my wife wouldn’t feel like a married single parent.

I don’t want my wife to be a married single parent

I do my best to support my wife as much as possible. Thinking back on my childhood, I remember my dad being present. I used to hear stories about absent dads and learned to appreciate his presence, especially as I got older. I learned from my mom after he passed that he tried his best. She also made sure to instill in me what it meant to support your wife as a present parent.

Family posing for photo
The author doesn’t want his wife to be a married single parent.

Now, talking to other parents and even the organic interactions in public make being a married single parent a real problem. For example, one night while we were feeding, I noticed my wife was tired and exhausted from her day. My mother’s words and advice clicked right then. I refuse to let her be a married single parent. She’s my best friend, and I wouldn’t want to let my best friend drown.

With us both navigating twin parenthood, stepping up as best I can is an active choice every day. It’s also a choice that has taught me a lot.

My twins are everything to me

While the challenges of twin fatherhood are heavy, being a twin dad is one of the best blessings I have. My girls love coming to the hardware store with me, and our thing is playing tic-tac-toe on the smart fridges. It’s moments like that that teach me the value of just being there in the simple moments.

Another thing my daughters have taught me is how to be soft. I grew up playing sports, had a stint in combat sports, am an entrepreneur, and am always seeking a challenge. Building the plane as it’s flying is in my nature, so I developed a bit of a hard skin to withstand adversity. When they came along, I had to learn to revise that. They are full of emotions and, even now, at times, it’s a challenge for me to navigate.

My girls are helping me learn how to dial it back.

Anthropic taps Elon Musk’s SpaceX for more AI compute power

Elon Musk
Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO.
  • Anthropic and SpaceX have signed a new deal for 300 megawatts of compute capacity.
  • The OpenAI rival will use Colossus One data center to boost Claude Code for developers.
  • SpaceX, after acquiring xAI, is inking new deals to sell GPU access.

Anthropic is turning to Elon Musk for computing capacity.

As the company faces a surge in demand for its AI coding service, Claude Code, Anthropic will use SpaceX’s Colossus One data center to meet the moment. Chief Product Officer Ami Vora announced the blockbuster deal at Anthropic’s developer conference in San Francisco on Wednesday morning.

Vora said that Anthropic is doubling the current 5-hour rate limit for developers on Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. The company is also raising rate limits for developers using the advanced Claude Opus model’s API, allowing more input and output per minute. These moves will stretch the company’s already strained computing capacity.

Given this challenge, Anthropic has turned to SpaceX, which acquired Musk’s xAI lab back in February. SpaceX’s Memphis-based Colossus One data center is one of the world’s largest, housing tens of thousands of advanced Nvidia chips that run AI’s compute-intensive work. Musk’s rapid buildout of the site and the nearby Colossus 2 data center have provoked ire locally, with residents complaining of pollution from gas turbines.

Anthropic expects the deal to deliver more than 300 megawatts of computing capacity within the month, across more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs. This builds on the company’s strategy of sourcing chip time and capacity from hyperscaling giants — work with Google, Amazon, and Microsoft is also underway.

The deal is another in SpaceX’s fledgling compute sales business. Business Insider reported in April that the coding startup Cursor would train its latest model on xAI’s GPUs. By inking computing deals with other companies, SpaceX and xAI can generate revenue from their own infrastructure, while also still developing AI models.

Musk, as recently as February, excoriated Anthropic’s Claude model as “misanthropic and evil.” But the billionaire’s mind has changed, he wrote Wednesday on X. Musk said he spent time last week with Anthropic leaders, and was impressed: “Everyone I met was highly competent and cared a great deal about doing the right thing. No one set off my evil detector.”

There could be another deal between Anthropic and SpaceX in the works. Tucked low in the press release accompanying this announcement, Anthropic wrote that it has “expressed interest” in working with SpaceX to build data centers in space.

OpenAI loses its head of private equity to Google

Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.
  • OpenAI lost two more senior staffers after a trio of departures in mid-April.
  • Paul Zimmerman, the AI lab’s former head of private equity, announced a move to Google.
  • OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are increasingly turning to PE firms for help ramping sales.

Two more senior staffers left OpenAI in recent days, including its head of private equity, who was hired by Google.

Paul Zimmerman said he now leads Google’s efforts to sell its AI to PE firms and their portfolio companies. He’d worked at OpenAI for just over a year, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Meanwhile, James Dyett, who described himself as OpenAI’s head of sales, announced he was leaving for VC firm Thrive Capital, a major OpenAI backer.

The pair make the latest high-profile departures from the company after three execs left in a single day last month.

The generative AI race has shifted from consumer adoption to business use cases in the past year, with Anthropic, OpenAI and other leaders seeking bigger, steadier revenue that often comes from corporate customers. One way to do that is by going through private-equity firms that control thousands of companies and are looking for ways to make them more efficient.

OpenAI is launching a $10 billion joint venture with PE firms including TPG and Bain Capital, Bloomberg and Reuters reported recently. Arch rival Anthropic also launched a partnership with PE firms worth $1.5 billion.

Google is also in talks with Blackstone and KKR to bring its AI models to their firms, Bloomberg reported.

Zimmerman declined to comment to Business Insider. Dyett, OpenAI and Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Every outfit Blake Lively has worn to the Met Gala, ranked from least to most iconic

Blake Lively attends the Met Gala in May 2026.
Blake Lively attends the Met Gala in May 2026.
  • Blake Lively is a frequent Met Gala attendee, walking its famous red carpet 11 times.
  • She has upped her Met Gala fashion game nearly every year she has attended.
  • Lively wore a pastel gown at the 2026 Met Gala after settling her legal dispute with Justin Baldoni.

The 2026 Met Gala has come and gone in a haze of sparkly dresses, bold suits, and celebrity sightings.

Celebrities interpreted the “Costume Art”-themed gala’s “Fashion is Art” dress code in a variety of ways, from Beyoncé’s sparkly skeleton dress to Lauren Sánchez Bezos’ recreation of a painting inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In one of the most exciting red-carpet moments of Monday night, Blake Lively returned to the Met after a four-year hiatus in one of her boldest looks to date.

Check out every look Lively has worn to the Met Gala, ranked from least to most iconic.

Lively’s Marchesa minidress for the 2010 Met Gala was playful but lackluster compared to her other looks.

Lively’s minidress stood out on the “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity” red carpet, which was full of floor-length gowns. She paired it with glittery black shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

The outfit was pretty but not as eye-catching as the actor’s other Met Gala looks. 

Lively made her Met Gala debut in an overly simple Ralph Lauren dress in 2008.

The theme of the 2008 Met Gala was “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy,” and Lively attended in a black, mermaid-style dress with feathers on the skirt.

Black gloves and diamond bracelets brought a fun flair to the look, but it was a bit plain overall.

Lively opted for an edgier look for the “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” Met Gala in 2013.

Lively’s strapless Gucci gown had a gray bodice and a black skirt, with tiers of silk fabric and metallic beading across the hips.

She completed her look with statement diamond earrings. 

At the 2009 gala, Lively began embracing daring fashion in a Versace dress with a thigh-high slit.

Lively paired her outfit with simple gold heels at the “The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion” gala.

Her understated accessories drew attention to the sheer sleeve, thigh-high slit, and plunging neckline of her dress. 

Lively looked elegant at the 2011 Met Gala in a Grecian-inspired dress.

The same year that Lively became the face of Chanel, she attended the “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty”-themed event in a gown from the brand’s Fall 2009 Haute Couture collection.

The bodice had a sheer base embellished with silver flowers, while taupe fabric draped over one side and was attached at her shoulder.

In 2014, Lively exuded Old Hollywood glamour in her sparkly dress, cementing her place as a style icon to watch at the gala.

The actor arrived at the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” exhibit in a floor-length, sequin-covered gown from Gucci Première. The blush gown hugged her figure to the thigh, flaring subtly at the knee into a dramatic train.

The red jewelry Lively wore coordinated with the pink color of the dress.

Lively’s pink look for the 2016 “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” Met Gala didn’t fit the theme, but she still made a statement.

Lively looked ethereal in the pink Burberry dress. It had a thigh-high slit covered in sheer fabric, offering a glimpse of Lively’s leg, and a red, floral appliqué adorned the gown’s built-in cape.

When she walked the red carpet, Lively was pregnant with her second child, but the news hadn’t been made public yet.

Lively stepped up her Met Gala game even further with the gold Atelier Versace gown she wore at the 2017 Met Gala.

Lively’s dress for the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” Met Gala was mostly gold, with long sleeves and a plunging neckline.

The train had four shades of blue feathers, so Lively looked like she was about to take flight. She completed her look with sapphire and gold jewelry. 

Blake Lively surprised fans when she arrived at the 2026 Met Gala in a custom Versace look.

On the same day that the 2026 “Costume Art” Met Gala took place, Lively and Justin Baldoni settled their legal dispute over the film “It Ends With Us” just weeks before they were set to go to trial.

Rather than staying out of the public eye as the dust settled, Lively arrived at the Met Gala mere hours later in an archival Versace gown from 2006.

The dress had a pale-yellow halter bodice with silver sparkles along the sides. Soft yellow, peach, and purple layers of fabric made up the full skirt, and Lively told Vogue she had the train lengthened to make a stronger statement for the Met. It trailed behind her as she ascended the stairs.

The bold look signaled Lively was closing the chapter on a dramatic time in her life. A PR expert told Business Insider it was the perfect stage for a comeback.

At the 2018 gala, Lively wore another Atelier Versace dress with sheer slits on both legs.

Lively’s Versace gown for the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” Met Gala took more than 600 hours to make.

The ornate ruby-and-gold gown was designed with a jewel-encrusted corset. She accessorized the dramatic look with a spiked headpiece, Christian Louboutin shoes, and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

The gown was one of the best looks at the 2018 Met Gala.

Lively wore her most stylish Met Gala look in 2022, channeling the Statue of Liberty in a gown that transformed on the carpet.

The actor, who co-chaired the 2022 event alongside her husband Ryan Reynolds, arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a custom Versace look that changed from bronze to green to mirror the oxidation of the famous New York City landmark. The dress was embroidered with crystal, metallic leather, and tri-tone copper foil. 

When Lively arrived, the dress had an oversize copper bow at the hip that gave way to a long, dramatic train. The bow unraveled as Lively walked along the red carpet, becoming green.

Lively told E! on the red carpet that the front of the dress was also designed to emulate the architecture of the Empire State Building, and her Lorraine Schwartz crown was another accessory meant to mimic the Statue of Liberty. 

E!’s Zanna Roberts Rassi said the green side of the train was embroidered with a celestial map inspired by the same 12 zodiac constellations painted on the ceiling of New York’s Grand Central Terminal.

All the outfits worn by the Kardashian-Jenner family at the Met Gala, ranked

Kendall Jenner inside the 2026 Met Gala.
Kendall Jenner inside the 2026 Met Gala.
  • Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family have been attending the Met Gala since 2013.
  • Some of their red-carpet looks have missed the mark, while others are now considered iconic.
  • Kim Kardashian’s outfits, in particular, have become some of the most famous worn at the event.

It’s tough to imagine the Met Gala without the Kardashian-Jenner family.

Kim Kardashian made her first appearance at the event in 2013 as Kanye West’s date. Since then, she, her sisters, and mom, Kris Jenner, have regularly made show-stopping appearances at the Costume Institute fundraiser.

And while some of their outfits have made Met Gala history, others have missed the mark.

Here’s a look at everything the family has worn at the annual event, ranked from least to most iconic.

Kris Jenner attended the 2016 Met Gala in a dress that was more simple than stunning.

Still, her black Balmain gown was pretty. It was custom-made for the TV star with sheer long sleeves, a mermaid-style skirt, and beaded patterns from top to bottom.

She paired it with a black choker, heavy eye makeup, and diamond jewelry.

Kendall Jenner walked her first Met Gala red carpet in a hairstyle that didn’t suit her gown.

Her strapless, mermaid-shaped gown, designed by Topshop, made her look like a princess — especially when accessorized with a sparkling clutch and diamond necklace.

But her messy, swept-back hairstyle contrasted with the glamour of her look and distracted from her dress, making for a mismatched look.

Kim Kardashian played it safe at the same event, which she attended with Kanye West.

She wore a strapless Lanvin design in blue satin with a black lining.

The Skims founder also kept her accessories and glam simple, wearing strappy sandals, dangling diamond earrings, and a loose, wavy hairstyle.

Kendall Jenner’s gray ensemble in 2025 had a corporate vibe.

She wore a two-piece set from Torishéju, including an extra-long skirt and a blazer with a peplum waist. The top was worn without a shirt beneath it, creating a plunge that showed off her diamond necklace.

Jenner looked pretty, but her understated look wasn’t glamorous enough to become iconic.

In 2015, Kris wore a plain red dress to the “China: Through the Looking Glass”-themed event.

The simple Balmain design had shoulder pads, a ruched bodice, and a wrap skirt.

While Kris made the outfit more unique with statement earrings, a thick golden belt, and black pumps with gold detailing, her overall outfit wasn’t the most memorable that she’s worn at the event.

Kim’s white dress in 2017 was pretty but massively understated.

Vivienne Westwood designed the off-the-shoulder dress, which also had long sleeves and a straight skirt.

Kim wore simple sandals, no jewelry, and a straight hairstyle to complete the minimalist look.

Kris attended the 2021 event in a suit that wasn’t as flashy as expected for a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family.

She told E! News on the red carpet that her outfit included multiple pieces from Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, and Tommy Hilfiger.

Kris also carried a sparkling Judith Leiber clutch.

Kim’s orange outfit for the 2026 “Costume Art” gala wasn’t super effective.

She walked the red carpet in a custom artwork by Allen Jones. It featured a fiberglass bodysuit in metallic orange and a leather skirt in shades of orange and brown.

Though the top half of the outfit was unique and eye-catching, the rest wasn’t very striking.

Kris started to have more fun with her Met Gala looks in 2018.

She attended the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”-themed event in a black Tommy Hilfiger design.

It had sheer sleeves, a feather-covered skirt, gold-ribbon embellishments, and amber jewels attached.

So did Kendall in 2016.
Kendall Jenner's 2016 Met Gala dress had a blue geometric pattern, a racer back, and cutouts on her ribcage.

She walked the red carpet that year in a blue, tan, and white dress created by Atelier Versace.

Its halter top led to a backless, bralette-style bodice, rounded waist cutouts, and a form-fitting skirt.

The year prior, Kendall looked great in green.

She wore a sleeveless, mock-neck design made with green fabric and beads from the Calvin Klein Collection.

It was held together on each side with thin, crisscross straps and worn without accessories. The model opted for a sleek hairstyle and natural-looking makeup.

Kim started to make her mark on the Met Gala red carpet in 2016.

She attended the “Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age of Technology” event in a futuristic look: a silver, long-sleeved dress covered in sequins and tiny mirrors.

The metallic gown was designed by Balmain and had a daring, thigh-high slit.

But she had actually gone a step further the year before.

For the 2015 Met Gala, the middle Kardashian sister wore a beaded Roberto Cavalli dress with sheer panels and a feather-trimmed skirt.

In an Instagram post at the time, she said her daring dress was inspired by a similar Bob Mackie garment Cher wore to the same event in 1974.

She looked striking at the 2025 event in an edgy ensemble.
Kim Kardashian poses at the Met Gala in a leather dress and a hat that covers her eyes.

She wore a leather Chrome Hearts look with an alligator-skin print. Its corseted top was positioned off her shoulders, and her tight skirt expanded into a mermaid-tail shape.

Though the dress was simple by Kim’s standards, her accessories were interesting. She wore a hat that covered her eyes and a statement diamond necklace.

Kourtney Kardashian made her Met Gala debut in an underwhelming outfit.

She walked the 2022 red carpet alongside Travis Barker, and both wore ensembles from Thom Browne.

Kourtney’s outfit featured a white, cropped blouse and a unique skirt with bandage-style fabric up top and black pleats at the bottom.

But due to its mix of fabrics and muted colors, it almost looked like Kourtney was wearing an unfinished garment.

Kris took inspiration from Jackie Kennedy at the 2022 Met Gala.

She wore a pastel-yellow Oscar de la Renta gown that wrapped around her body. It had a single long sleeve, a shorter one that revealed her white gloves, and a thick beaded hem.

Though her ’60s hairstyle made the outfit look a bit more like a costume, she still looked chic on the red carpet.

In 2026, she wore a Dolce & Gabbana robe that shimmered in the light.

The robe-style dress was custom-made for Kris and featured all-over sequins in the shapes of sculptures and other prints.

While it wasn’t her best Met Gala look of all time, it was a strong one. She paired it with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and a bob haircut.

Kylie Jenner made her Met Gala debut in a daring red-carpet look in 2016.

Designed by Balmain, her metallic dress was long-sleeved and had silver sequins covering its sheer, mesh fabric. There were also large cutouts at her hips, and smaller ones beneath her waist.

She paired the sparkling look with silver sandals and a sleek black bob.

Kris wore what was arguably her best Met Gala look in 2019.

Her Tommy Hilfiger ensemble included a navy jumpsuit with a crystal star-shaped brooch attached to its deep neckline and a dramatic gray coat with oversize shoulder pads.

To make the outfit even more iconic, the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch added vibrant blue eye makeup, a bedazzled purse, and a short blonde hairstyle.

Kylie had a standout Met Gala moment years earlier in 2017.

At the time, she attended the Met Gala in a see-through Versace dress made from peach-colored mesh. The gown was decorated with beads and crystals, and its short sleeves had long, gold fringe.

Her hair, which was styled in a blonde bob, perfectly complemented her standout fashion.

Her 2025 gown was even better.
Kylie Jenner poses on the Met Gala steps in a corseted gown that's semi-sheer.

Ferragamo created her gray gown, which was perfectly tailored. It had a halter neckline, a sheer corseted bodice, and a gray skirt with beaded embellishments and a thigh-high slit.

She perfected the look with black pumps and sheer gloves.

Her wedding-themed look in 2022 was controversial, but memorable.

With its ruffled skirt, T-shirt bodice, and veil-adorned baseball cap, Kylie’s outfit might have been confusing at first glance.

But the look actually honored the late designer Virgil Abloh and his brand Off-White.

Her vibrant gown popped on the 2023 carpet.

It was tough to miss Kylie when she walked the 2023 carpet, thanks to the red-and-blue Jean Paul Gaultier gown.

Designed by Haider Ackermann, the dress had a blue satin lining, a thigh-high slit, and an asymmetrical neckline that gave the gown a distinctive shape.

Kylie took inspiration from a famous sculpture in 2026.

She wore a Schiaparelli gown that was designed to make her look like the Venus de Milo.

It featured a nude-illusion bodice shaped like her torso, and a satin gown that looked as though it were being taken off her body.

The outfit was on theme, but not as iconic as some of her past Met looks.

Kendall took a similar approach.

She wore a Gap by Zac Posen gown that looked like wet marble wrapped around her body. It was inspired by the Winged Victory of Samothrace.

Jenner looked stunning and, like her sister, she stayed on theme for the night’s event. Still, it’s not as flashy as many of her other Met Gala outfits.

Kendall had a gothic moment at the Metropolitan Museum one year earlier.

For the 2022 Met Gala, Kendall wore a black two-piece set from Prada. It featured a mesh tank top that she wore without a bra and a full, high-waisted skirt covered in ruffles.

It might not have been Kendall’s most iconic Met Gala look of all time, but it was certainly memorable — especially because she wore it with bleached eyebrows.

Kylie opted for a bold and edgy look on the 2018 carpet.

Her Alexander Wang gown was strapless and had a satin bralette connected to its long velvet skirt. There was also a cutout placed right above her stomach, and a silver zipper down her side.

Kylie wore the outfit — which also included tiny sunglasses and silver bracelets — just three months after giving birth to her first child, Stormi Webster.

Kim’s 2013 Met Gala dress was so iconic that it was quickly turned into a meme.
Kim Kardashian's Met Gala debut was in a floral dress with a thigh-high slit. The star was pregnant with eldest child North West at the time.

The floral maternity gown she wore — designed by Givenchy — had a high neckline, long gloved sleeves, and a thigh-high slit that revealed her matching heels.

Critics quickly took to social media that night, comparing her outfit to everything from a couch to Mrs. Doubtfire. But it wasn’t until years later that Kim told Vogue that the comments left her crying “the whole way home” from the event.

“I was very pregnant, very puffy, and bloated, and I was like, ‘Oh God, of course, the first time I go I’m gonna be huge,'” she said. “That was OK with me because I never really dreamed I would be at the Met Ball. I know no one really probably wanted me there at the time.”

Still, she noted that “none of the critics mattered” because the Olsen twins walked up to her that night and complimented her outfit.

Kendall looked chic in white at the 2018 Met Gala.

Whereas Kim’s all-white outfit from years prior was arguably forgettable, Kendall’s had flair that made it stand out.

Off-White designed her off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, which had mermaid-style pants with short trains at the bottom of each leg. Her look also included sheer white gloves, a long ponytail, diamond earrings, and glamorous makeup.

Kendall emerged as a Met Gala star again in 2019 when she wore a see-through orange dress covered with feathers.

Her iconic, sleeveless dress was custom-made for her by Versace. Its see-through fabric was decorated with beaded fringe, and its skirt had layers of orange feathers that reached the floor.

But her accessories really made this look stand out. She walked the red carpet in a giant feathered neckpiece and thick gold jewelry.

Kim was among the best-dressed stars at the 2018 “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” event.

She wore a gold Atelier Versace dress with a corset bodice and plunging neckline. The sleeveless garment was also metallic and had crystal cross embellishments.

And that’s not to mention her hair and makeup, which were equally stunning. Kim wore a half-up, half-down hairstyle, nude lipstick, and striking contact lenses.

Kim’s 2023 outfit became more iconic thanks to her daughter.

People had mixed feelings about Kim’s pearl-string Schiaparelli gown and the visible shapewear in its center. But no one was more opinionated on the piece than her daughter, North West.

“I like the pearls. I just don’t like that it looks like from the Dollar Store,” she said of the outfit on an episode of “The Kardashians.”

Kendall looked like a rock star when she walked the 2017 red carpet.

Her mesh La Perla dress was black and had a long cutout down the length of its bodice. The see-through fabric also wrapped around her body, creating a thigh-high slit in its skirt.

Kendall completed the iconic look with see-through heels, red lipstick, and a striking contour.

Kendall went pantsless in 2023, and the fashion risk paid off.

She stepped on the carpet that year in a Marc Jacobs bodysuit covered in black sparkles and embellished with silver.

But the garment’s most dramatic and impressive pieces were its extra-long sleeves, which reached the floor and cascaded into trains at her side.

The now-iconic outfit was worn with platform boots and diamond earrings.

Khloé Kardashian attended her first Met Gala in 2022, and she sparkled on the red carpet.

She wore a glittering Moschino gown that was embellished from top to bottom with gold beads. It was sleek, sexy, and glamorous — and made for the perfect debut dress.

Khloé wore the piece with a black satin shawl and gloves that reached past her elbows.

Kylie stole the show in 2019.

She arrived in a lavender Versace gown with a cream-colored bodysuit underneath a layer of see-through, sparkling mesh. The dress featured a scoop neckline and a feathered skirt that perfectly matched her puffy feathered gloves.

To top off the iconic look — which Kylie later dressed her daughter Stormi in for Halloween — the Kylie Cosmetics founder wore a purple wig.

Kim turned heads at the 2021 event in a Balenciaga ensemble that covered her entire face and body.

She looked unrecognizable in the all-black bodysuit, complete with gloves and a long train.

Kim wore it for the event’s “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion” theme, and viewers quickly turned the fashion statement into a meme.

Kendall’s most iconic Met Gala look was the see-through gown she wore that same year.

Her see-through gown matched her skin tone, creating the illusion that she was only wearing rows of sparkling diamonds.

On Instagram, the 818 tequila founder said her stunning dress was inspired by another iconic gown: the one Audrey Hepburn wore in “My Fair Lady.”

Kim’s borrowed dress in 2022 was scandalous and noteworthy.

She arrived at the 2022 gala wearing a piece that previously belonged to Marilyn Monroe. The sleeveless, sparkling gown was worn by the legendary actor in 1962 when she famously sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy.

It was later revealed in an episode of “The Kardashians” that Kim predicted backlash from people who didn’t think she deserved to wear the gown.

But like it or not, Kim wearing the dress will forever be a memorable Met Gala moment.

The most iconic Kardashian-Jenner Met Gala look is also the most controversial.

The skin-tight Thierry Mugler gown Kim wore in 2019 is iconic both for its exquisite design and the borderline dangerous measures required to wear it.

The tan button-up dress had ruching from top to bottom and crystals that mirrored water droplets, both of which made it look as though Kim had just emerged from water. She even wore her hair in a wet style to enhance the effect.

But in a video for Vogue released after the Met Gala, the reality star said she couldn’t sit or go to the bathroom while wearing it because the garment was so tight. She later added in an Instagram post that she had to take “corset breathing lessons” in order to wear the dress.

Ultimately, the iconic and controversial dress led many to criticize the tiny appearance of Kim’s waist, with some arguing that she was setting unrealistic beauty standards.
