Waxman Staff Writer May 8, 2015 8:29 PM UTC While many followed coverage of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual gala and wished they could own the dresses the stars were wearing, one comedian on the web found one way to make his own–just call it DIY couture. Canadian actor Mina Gerges uploaded a picture to Instagram of his own version of Kim Kardashian’s sheer, feather-covered Roberto Cavalli gown from Monday night. He made the outfit using a beige curtain, white paint, and white feathers. ### See Kim Kardashian's Most Memorable Magazine Covers  Kardashian was photographed by the controversial photographer Terry Richardson for her Rolling Stone cover. In the issue she talks about Caitlyn Jenner, her marriage to Kanye West and her love for the Backstreet Boys. Terry Richardson—Rolling Stone  From the #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple to the #worldsmosttalkedaboutbutt. Kim Kardashian already got national attention for being naked when a sex tape went public in 2007, but as the new cover of Paper magazine suggests, it's still her body — not her multi-million dollar iPhone game, not her TV show, not her marriage to Kanye West — that has the power to "break the Internet." Jean-Paul Goude—Paper  Kardashian called her first Vogue cover "a dream come true," while critics accused to magazine of chasing what was trendy rather than defining it. "As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it," Anna Wintour said in its defense. Annie Leibovitz—Vogue  Before Kanye and Kim posed for Vogue, they posed on the cover of the French magazine L'Officiel Hommes in 2013\. Is this just a strikingly suggestive pose or actual candid moment between now-spouses? Probably a little of both when it comes to this steamy photo shoot. Nick Knight—L'Officiel Hommes  In 2012, Kardashian graced the cover of V magazine — shot by Nick Knight, who also shot her L'Officiel Hommes cover — and defended her reality show empire in the magazine's pages by comparing it to rap music. "When rap music first came out, people were like, 'We don't understand this, what is this, it's just a fad.' But rap music is definitely here to stay, and I think reality shows have proven they are as well." Nick Knight—V Magazine  Channeling the typographic work of the iconic American artist Barbara Kruger, the cover of W magazine's November 2010 issue found Kim Kardashian (almost) bearing it all. Inside its pages, the only layer she had on was a thin coat of silver body paint. Mark Seliger—W Magazine  Kim Kardashian lands magazine covers because she's a familiar face, but that didn't matter to YRB. The magazine made her look near unrecognizable in a bob and dramatic makeup for a 2012 photo shoot that she later called "one of the most unique shoots \[she's\] ever done." YRB  Two of America's biggest style icons met in 2009 when Kim Kardashian dressed up like Barbie, who "guest edited" an issue of Australia's Kurv magazine. But it's no surprise the star would say yes to a magazine that starts with the letter K. Kurv  A 2009 shoot for Complex caused controversy when the magazine's website accidentally published an unretouched photo of Kim Kardashian. While it reignited the ongoing debate about beauty standards, Kardashian herself wasn't mad. "So what? I have a little cellulite," Kardashian later wrote on her website. "What curvy girl doesn't? How many people do you think are Photoshopped? It happens all the time!" Complex  Kim Kardashian was the most-clothed person on the cover of Prestige magazine's September 2010 issue when she posed with two naked men while looking like a sexed-up gladiator. "This might be one of my most risque covers to date!" she tweeted. Prestige  In 2012, Kim Kardashian covered New York magazine's fashion issue, which asked whether she had a place in the industry. Since then, she's only shown that the answer to that question is a resounding yes as she attended Paris Fashion Week and the Met Ball and landed that Vogue cover — a magazine that in the past has been not-so-open-minded about women with curvy figures like hers. New York Magazine ## Transcript Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will soon be Mr. and Mrs ., but before they're bound for life here's a rundown of how they went from flirtation to family. The pop culture power duo was first spotted hanging out back in 2010. But relationship rumors seemed to be just that, rumor's at the time. Kim went on to date, and then Wed, basketball star Kris Humphries, but their marriage, lasted an infamous 72 days. A few months after Kim and Kris' split, Kanye released his 2012 track, Cold Theraflu, featuring the lyrics, and I'll admit I had fell in love with Kim, around the same time she had fell in love with him. But I said before, I mean, Kanye and I have been friends for years. And, you know, you never know what the future holds or where my life will take me, so, I like the song. Their relationship soon turned into romance and Kimye was born. That summer the reality star gushed about her quote, new fairytale, to Oprah. One day it just, I don't know it just happened and I'm like, it took kinda like, took me by surprise even. The pair did come under fire for their past relations, notably from West's ex Amber Rose, but it turns out Kanye had been in love with Kim for some time. I, I loved her from the first day I saw her, which I said on bound, I don't remember when that was [ LAUGH ]. I don't know when [ LAUGH ]. I remember seeing pictures with her, you know, I think she was in Australia with Paris Hilton or something, and, and reading her name and telling my friends like, have you ever seen Kim Kardashian? Those pictures Kanye was talking about, that was back in 2006. Once they were finally together, things were a whirlwind. Not long after going public with their relationship, Kanye announced some big news. Can we make some noise for my baby momma Kim Kardashian? [ NOISE ]. After revealing they were expecting Kim and Kanye steamed up the cover of a French fashion magazine, and made numerous public appearance, notably at the Met Gala. Then in June 2013 the couple welcomed a daughter, North West. The pair kept a low profile, after becoming parents, but they did show their love online, shamelessly flirting. Who can forget that selfie? And then they made a big splash in October, when Kanye popped the question, in San Francisco, on Kim's 33rd birthday. They followed that, with the over the top, and topless movie video, for Kanye's song Bound To. And since then it's been all about wedding planning and that vogue photo shoot. And now, here we are on the eve of the couple's European nuptials. Congrats to the almost newlyweds. Thanks for watching, I'm Bryce Sander. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3852436/kim-kardashian-met-gala-2015-mina-gerges/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3852436/kim-kardashian-met-gala-2015-mina-gerges/"},"headline":"This Guy Turned Kim Kardashian's Met Ball Dress Into the Ultimate Arts and Crafts Project","datePublished":"2015-05-08T20:29:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:43:34.333Z","description":"Talk about crafty","url":"https://time.com/3852436/kim-kardashian-met-gala-2015-mina-gerges/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
