Kim Kardashian West is already turning heads on her way to the Met Gala -- this time, without even showing her face -- and it's all thanks to a look from Balenciaga and inspiration from her estranged hubby.
Kim just left her hotel in NYC wearing the custom outfit designed by Demna Gvasalia, the creative director of Balenciaga. The look includes a curve T-shirt under a T-shirt dress with an incorporated bodysuit, completed with jersey boots Pantaleggings, jersey gloves and a mask hiding her whole face.
Sources connected tell us that while Kanye won't be at the Met in person, he gave Kim the courage to push the envelope with creativity and people's imagination through art.
We're told Kanye was also the one who introduced Kim to Demna -- who will join her at the Gala -- so he's a big reason the look came together in the first place.
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker were also spotted leaving the same hotel as Kim, but both were dressed down and likely headed to dinner ... no Gala.
We saw Kim rocking another head/face mask over the weekend in the Big Apple -- a head-to-toe black leather getup.
As you know ... Kanye's been all about the full head wraps lately too, and it sure looked like Kim might've taken a cue from him for the ensemble -- which appears to have been from the Spring 2019 Vetements collection.
The ensemble tonight is also a complete departure from what Kim's worn during past Met Galas -- especially over the last handful of years when her dresses were bright, shiny and sleek. She's rocked gowns designed by Thierry Mugler, Versace, Balmain and Vivienne Westwood -- just to name a few.
Now, she's going the Balenciaga route, and still looking incredible.

Kim Kardashian Flashes Leather for NYFW ... Full-Body Coverage, Literally
Kim Kardashian looked hell-bent for leather this weekend -- and that's no exaggeration ... she was completely covered up in the material from head to toe (emphasis on the former).
The middle Kardashian sister was out in NYC Saturday, heading into the Ritz Carlton to check in ahead of the Met Gala on Monday. Of course, it's also New York Fashion Week -- and, boy, did KK make a statement with her getup in front of a crush of paps and photogs.
Check it out ... Kim donned black leather from the tip of her scalp to the bottoms of her feet, which included a full face mask -- complete with zippers and a ponytail hole up north.
She was also wearing a black leather trench coat, black pants and black boots to ... well, boot. It was quite an outfit -- and she had all eyeballs on her as she went into the building, not really stopping to chat with anyone. And, frankly, how could she ... she was wrapped up!
This definitely tops her other fashion flex earlier this week, when she stepped out for a birthday dinner in Malibu in yet another black ensemble -- with a trailing cape and sunglasses for good measure. She's got the same color scheme going here ... but with a slight twist. And she seems to be keeping the 'Matrix' vibes going too -- maybe some 'Pulp Fiction' as well.
Also of note ... this is almost in the same vein as Kanye's recent full head masks ... a la 'Donda' listening events and other outings, where the dude is fully hidden from view. Makes ya wonder if she's following in his footsteps, fashion-wise. Hmmm ... 🤔
Anyway, after a show-stopping number like this ... the pressure's on for whatever she might rock on Monday for the big show. Can't wait to see it!

Kylie Jenner Shows Off Baby Bump and a Lot More!!!
Kylie Jenner certainly isn't trying to hide her pregnancy the second time around. And, there's not much else she's hiding!
Kylie, who made the trip to NYC for Fashion Week, hit the town Thursday wearing a black sheer bodysuit with a lace design. It's the second time in as many days we've seen the 24-year-old showing off the growing evidence of baby #2.
If Kylie's outfit looks familiar, it's because Kim Kardashian wore something similar in 2015 at the LACMA Film + Art Gala in L.A. ... when she was pregnant with Saint.
Kylie announced earlier this week she and Travis Scott were expecting. She posted of video of her showing Travis her pregnancy test. You also see Kyle and Travis make a trip to the obstetrician. And, you see Stormi surprising Kris Jenner with ultrasound pics.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
It's unclear when Kylie's due or if she's expecting a boy or girl ... but one thing's clear ... this time around Kylie will be modeling some high-fashion maternity getups.

Kendall & Kris Birthday Parties, Coast to Coast!!!
The Jenner family was out and about on opposite coasts Thursday night, looking stylish and celebrating friends' birthdays ... but Kendall Jenner's night included a close encounter of the EX kind.
Kendall and her BF, NBA superstar Devin Booker, hit up Lucali in NYC where they were attending the bday bash of their friend, model and DJ Fai Khadra. Not shockingly, Kendall was dressed to the nines in a skintight, and tiny, black dress. Hey, she is a supermodel!
But, here's the thing, Fai has another NBA-playing buddy by the name of Blake Griffin, and he showed up ready to party too -- although, not nearly as decked out as his ex-GF.
We don't know if Kendall and Blake actually saw each other inside, but they split way back in 2018. We're guessing everybody's cool by now.
Meanwhile, on the west coast, Kris Jenner was out at Craig's in WeHo for a birthday dinner for one of her gal pals.
The Kardashian/Jenner matriarch was beaming about Kylie having another baby ... but made sure not to spill any tea about her grandchild-to-be. Instead, she just called the latest family pregnancy a blessing.

Kim Kardashian Cries Her Eyes Out Saint Broke His Arm in Multiple Places
Kim Kardashian's son, Saint, broke his arm ... and it's devastated her.
Kim's 5-year-old son took a trip to the ER after fracturing his arm in multiple places. Kim didn't reveal how it happened, but she made it clear ... it broke her heart and she's been crying her eyes out.
She shared a couple photos ... you see Saint sitting in a wheelchair with an ice pack on his right wrist/arm, captioning it, "Who do you think cried more today? My baby broke his arm in a few places today. I’m not ok." #MomsWillBeMoms.
Kim posted another pic showing Saint's injured arm wrapped in a navy-blue cast.
It looks like Saint got hurt Thursday, because earlier in the day she shared a photo of Saint with one of his friends who was celebrating his birthday.
It was a night out on the town for most of the Kardashians ... from coast to coast. But, Kim clearly had other priorities and never surfaced Thursday night.
Saint's back home, hopefully on the mend. Feel better soon, Saint!!! You too, Kim.

Kylie Jenner Public Baby Bump Debut at NYFW
Kylie Jenner's still in the early stages of her second pregnancy, but it already seems like she'll be a lot less private this time around ... because she's out flaunting her bun in the oven.
Kylie publicly debuted her new baby bump Wednesday night as she stepped out in NYC in a short, form-fitting white dress and a duster ... a fitting look to attend New York Fashion Week.
Of course, she also posted several photos of herself getting ready to go out ... prompting all sorts of "hot mama"-type comments.
As we reported ... Kylie officially announced she's expecting her second child with Travis Scott the other day with a short video documenting the first stages of her pregnancy.
The vid included a trip to the doctor with their daughter, Stormi, to get an ultrasound, as well as the moment she delivered the news to her mom, Kris Jenner.
Kylie famously spent her first pregnancy mostly hiding inside her home, but it looks like things will be a lot different with her second child.

Kim Kardashian Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?!? Fancy Dressin' for Pal's Bday
Kim Kardashian going to dinner mid-week isn't just a meal -- it's a head-to-toe fashion event ... especially when she's celebrating her friend's born day.
The middle K sis went out for a bite Tuesday night at Nobu in Malibu, where she was joined by her mom, Kris Jenner, and Corey Gamble ... who were all on hand to help celeb florist Jeff Leatham ring in the big 5-0.
Vanessa Bryant -- who is also very close with Leatham -- also shared a photo from inside the party with Kris and Corey.
Despite it being Jeff's day, it was Kim who upstaged everyone ... 'cause she showed up for chow in an eye-popping black ensemble, complete with a freakin' cape! Looks like she might've had a little 'Matrix' fever here or something.
Anyone else getting red pill vibes?
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Anyway, cool to see her out and about -- feels like it's been a while since Kim's done dinner like this. She and Jeff are good palls ... they even rolled out a series of fragrances together earlier this year.
So, the occasion called for a "dress to impress" outfit and, as usual, Kim didn't disappoint.
As for her Neo-esque style? Watch your back, Keanu ... clearly, you're not the only one who can pull off that look.

Tori Spelling's heard all the buzz from folks comparing her new look to Khloe Kardashian, and she has just one word ... honored.
We got the '90210' star out at the Malibu Chili Cook-Off on Monday night and we wanted to get her take on fans raving about her resemblance to Khloe during a recent lunch outing.
As they say, flattery will get ya everywhere with Tori, because, as she put it to us, Khloe's gorgeous. We asked if she intentionally went for a Khloe-look, and you've gotta see her reaction. We'll just say ... she was amused.
ICYMI ... Tori posted a pic last week wearing a denim jumpsuit and black leather boots. The glam look had everyone losing their minds about how much she looked like Khloe in her blonde days.
One fan tweeted, "Who Wore It Better Khloe Kardashian or Is It Tori Spelling... Khloe Spelling." In fact, fans said Tori's exact look was eerily similar to a Khloe outfit she wore back in February 2020.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
We also asked Tori about the Scott Disick-Amelia Hamlin drama, but Tori wouldn't bite.
Something else she didn't bite that night? Chili, apparently.

Scott Disick Breaks Up With Amelia Hamlin ... Dispute Over Who Pulled the Plug

10:01 AM PT -- Sources close to Amelia tell TMZ, SHE is the one who broke up with him, not vice versa. We're told Amelia had it once Scott sent that DM to Younes about Kourtney. One source said, "The breakup was coming, but the Younes DM was the final straw."
Scott Disick is a single man again ... he and his 20-year-old girlfriend, Amelia Hamlin, are no more.
Sources close to Scott tell TMZ ... things had been falling apart between Scott and Amelia for weeks and over the holiday weekend, they officially ended things.
Our sources say Scott is the one who called it quits ... we're told it wasn't anything personal, he just didn't see a future with Amelia long-term, and didn't want to keep wasting his time or hers.
The breakup, of course, comes on the heels of Scott mocking his ex, Kourtney Kardashian's, PDA pics with Travis Barker to her ex, Younes Benjima, and getting called out by Younes.
Our sources say while the timing of the split is suspicious, they say it didn't have any impact on Scott's decision to pull the plug.
It's interesting ... Amelia shaded Scott over the weekend, posting a pic of her in a tank top with the inscription, "Don't you have a girlfriend?"
We last saw Scott and Amelia out on a date at Nobu Malibu last month. They started dating last fall following his breakup with Sofia Richie.
Always waiting for Scott's next move.

Travis Barker Hints at Marrying Kourtney ... 'Forever Isn't Long Enough'
Travis Barker wasn't coy about his intentions ... he's on a path that's leading him to the altar.
Travis posted a bunch of pics Friday ... mostly showing him and GF Kourtney Kardashian locked in a kiss from all over Paris. And then, he dropped the big hint.
"Forever isn't long enough," Travis said in a caption next to pics of the 2 smooching on a carousel, and in front of the illuminated Eiffel Tower.
"Forever" is a big word, and it often, if not typically, means getting hitched.
The pics not only show the depth of their relationship ... it's gotta drive a certain ex crazy, especially the one where Kourtney is straddling her BF as she goes in for the kiss.
As we reported, Scott Disick tried to shade Kourtney by DM'ing her other ex, Younes Bendjima, but Younes put Scott on blast and he seemed jealous and petty.
Kourtney doubled down after Scott's DM became public, with an image of 2 people kissing with the caption ... "Relax ... This is going to hurt FOREVER" -- followed by, "HOW TO GET OVER SOMEONE who treated you BADLY."
As for Travis and Kourtney ... they've taken their romance around the world ... smooching in Cabo, Italy and Paris, before returning to the U.S.
Kourtney and Travis have been close friends for years, so they know each other well. It seems only a matter of time ... and maybe sooner rather than later.

Kourtney Kardashian Appears to Shade Scott ... You Treated Me Badly
If Kourtney Kardashian is not dragging Scott Disick over the coals, she's sure making it seem that way, because everything about her post early Wednesday morning points to her ex.
Kourtney posted this image ... 2 people locked in a kiss, with the caption ... "Relax ... This is going to hurt FOREVER" -- followed by, "HOW TO GET OVER SOMEONE who treated you BADLY."
It's more than a coincidence ... the kiss mimics Kourtney/Travis's passionate kiss on a boat in Italy -- a kiss that triggered Scott.
As we reported, Scott saw the pic and sent a DM to Kourtney's other ex, Younes Bendjima, shading Kourtney for the PDA display. Younes wasn't having it, and apparently nor was Kourtney.
It's puzzling ... when Kourtney and Scott split it seemed amicable, and they appear to be co-parenting without big problems. There was a time when Scott was off the rails and Kourtney was concerned about him being around their 3 kids, but that seemed to be in the rearview.
As for Kourtney and Travis, they've left Italy for Paris, where they spent Tuesday at Disneyland.
That may be the happiest place on earth, but the home front ... not so much.

Kourtney Kardashian Scott Mocks Her PDA ... Her Ex, Younes, Calls Disick Out!!!
Scott Disick's had it with Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's steamy PDA pics, but his search for an ally went awry ... and now he just looks like a petty, jealous ex.
Younes Bendjima -- who dated Kourtney from 2016 to 2018 -- leaked a DM Scott appeared to have sent him ... ripping Kourtney for the slew of romantic pics of her and Travis Barker ... in particular the shot of Kourtney straddling Travis on a boat in Italy.
Scott allegedly wrote ... "Yo is this chick ok!??? Broo like what is this. In the middle of Italy."
Younes shared the screenshot and shot back, "Doesn't matter to me as long as she's happy." Bendjima added insult to injury, telling Disick ... "PS: i aint your bro."
Younes has residual beef with Scott, because along with putting him on blast for the DM gossip behind Kourtney's back, he added, "Keep the same energy you had about me publicly, privately."
But, Bendjima wasn't done with Disick ... "He been playing around for too long, tried to stay quiet and be the nice guy." This is clearly in response to some snide comments Scott made about him on the 'KUWTK' reunion a while back.
Despite Lord Disick's exchange with Younes backfiring, it shows that he's grown weary of all the paparazzi attention toward the mother of his kids as she's been jet-setting with the Blink-182 drummer.
As we've told you ... Kourtney and Travis flew to Cabo last month -- which was Barker's first time on an airplane since his deadly 2008 plane crash -- then continued onto Italy where the couple's been spotted hand in hand, snuggling on a gondola, and packing on the PDA pretty much everywhere they went.
Kourtney & Travis Gondola Ride in Venice ... That's Amore!!!
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's romantic Italian getaway is sailing on ... on a gondola in Venice.
The lovebirds did the tourist thing Monday during their ongoing Euro vacation, getting comfy cozy together in the sea vessel on a seat shaped like a heart.
It paints a pretty fitting picture of the 2, who have been attached at the hip in Italy for a few days after kicking off their traveling lovefest a couple weeks ago in Cabo.
We broke the story ... Travis flying to Mexico with Kourt was his first time on an airplane since the deadly 2008 plane crash that killed 4 people and left him with third-degree burns on 2/3 of his body.
It must have gone well, because he then flew to Italy with his girlfriend to begin the overseas leg of their getaway, and the couple shows no signs of slowing down ... hand in hand everywhere they go.

Kourtney and Travis Give Each Other a Hand in Italy!!!
Love has no bounds and no borders ... thus Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker continued their love fest in Italy.
Trav and Kourt were exploring the sites in Portofino as they walked hand in hand. They were both covered in large, almost-matching hoodies as they traversed the town.
This has been a super-romantic vacay for the 2 ... they've been exploring Italy in what is clearly a budding relationship. In fact, scratch budding ... it's full-blown at this point.
It's a huge moment for Travis, who just recently started flying again. As you know, he hasn't gotten on an airplane since the fatal crash 13 years ago that killed 4, including 2 of his close friends.
He flew for the first time a few weeks back when he, along with Kourtney, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble, took Kylie's jet down to Cabo in Mexico.
The Cabo trip removed any doubt they are in a downright serious relationship ... making out in the main pool for all to see. The experience onboard a plane seemed tolerable enough for Travis to do it again.
Unclear where the next stop is ... this beats the Travel Channel!!!

Kim Kardashian & Kids Third Time's the Charm??? At Kanye's 'Donda' Event in Chicago

Exclusive

Kanye West fans are probably hoping there's a "Beetlejuice" situation with his "Donda" album -- after the third listening party it'll magically appear -- but regardless ... Kim Kardashian and their kids are in attendance once again.
As you probably know, Ye's holding another big event in anticipation of the release of his 10th studio album, but this one's the most special of the 3 ... because it's in his hometown of Chicago at Soldier Field.
Sources close to Kim and Kanye tell TMZ ... she and their 4 kids flew from L.A. to Chi-town Thursday, attending the show for support, just like they did for his Atlanta shows.
We're told he requested their presence because this listening event -- which will showcase a replica of his childhood home -- is very important to him.
As far as Kim and Kanye's relationship's concerned ... our source says it's still very much the same -- amicable and supportive. We got a glimpse of that as the 2 went out for lunch last week, and Kim's also keeping Kanye's last name ... despite what he does with it.
So, the only thing still to be determined is whether Ye will actually release "Donda" to the public after Thursday night's show ... and if he'll have any more to say to Drake.
