Kim Kardashian's Met Gala Look Might Be A Nod To An Old "Playboy" Shoot, And It Proves Just How Far She's Come

So, you DEFINITELY saw Miss Kimberly Noel Kardashian's Met Gala look last night — it was, indubitably, a slay.

For this year's theme of "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," Kim wore a tan corset literally DRENCHED in pearls to honor the late (and lest we forget, extremely problematic) designer.

When asked about the inspo behind her look on the Vogue red carpet livestream, Kim said: "I thought, What is more Karl? You know, the iconic Chanel pearls is what I always thought of. So we wanted to just be dripping in pearls."

Like, yes, okay, absolutely. But as I kept up-and-downing Kim's dress, I realized that I'd seen her in this before...........

That's right. Her ICONIC 2007 Playboy photoshoot as seen on Keeping Up with The Kardashians!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, the infamous one that gave us, "You're doing amazing, sweetie."

For comparison, here's Kim at last night's Met Gala:

Say whatever you want about the Kardashian/Jenners, but they KNOW how to make a Media Moment™, baby!!!

And Kim? You're still doing amazing, sweetie.
