The Met Gala is infamous for over-the-top fashion, questionable themes, and more drama than an entire season of a Netflix reality TV show. But this year, Kim Kardashian provided us with something we were not anticipating—not a show-stopping gown, not a meme-worthy sound bite, but a nascent cosmic conspiracy. All because of a bumbling security guard who stepped on the train of her dress. Ordinary-sounding, right? Oh no, dear reader. What if I were to tell you that security guard was not human?
Kim, clad in a radiant Chrome Hearts outfit that was both haute couture and “Mad Max: Spa Day” all at once, was floating down the Met Gala red carpet like the goddess she is. The flashes were popping, influencers were taking in air for Instagram-perfect pouts, and then—crash—a security guard’s foot came down on her train, and she tripped for half a second. But the thing is. Eyewitnesses say the guard’s eyes flickered green and his voice stuttered when he uttered “sorry.” Coincidence? Or the initial instance of alien Met Gala interference?
Conspiracy web forums did not hesitate. One discussion thread, “Kim Kardashian: First Human Contact?” went viral in minutes. The (entirely unsubstantiated) report claimed the security guard was not merely a man doing his job—he was an extraterrestrial scout. His task? To scan Kim’s wardrobe, transfer her style to his mothership’s mainframe, and employ her look to update the wardrobe on Planet Zorp-9. Bad luck for him, though—he trod on the wrong icon’s dress.
Others interpret the flub as a botched abduction attempt. The alien, dressed in security attire, had one intention: quietly copy Kim’s aura and flip-of-the-hair skills, then disappear back into space before dessert. Kim’s now-folkloric hair flip, the theory goes, short-circuited the alien’s sensor frequency, rescuing the entire human population from being replaced with copycat Kimbots. Which, to be honest, sounds more plausible than most reality show plots.
The cherry on top? Kim rolled with it. She subsequently posted a TikTok dancing to a remix of “Take Me to Your Leader,” captioned: “When your train gets hijacked by a space intern ???.” Her fans went area 51 mode in the comments section, with one of them writing, “She didn’t stumble, she dodged a tractor beam.” Another merely wrote, “KIM FOR INTERGALACTIC PRESIDENT.”
In its wake, there were reports that the Met Gala committee would be putting up an “alien verification booth” next year. Elon Musk supposedly offered to sponsor it. Meanwhile, the supposed guard hasn’t been heard from since. Some claim he got transferred to Area 51’s “Fringe and Fashion” division. Others think he transformed into Timothée Chalamet and is living among us in secret.
So what actually went down? Likely just a small wardrobe malfunction. But in a universe where celebrities are revered like demigods and memes can initiate revolutions, why not add some alien flair to a bumbling moment?
Because let’s be honest—if aliens are actually looking to make contact, the Met Gala is likely where it’d begin.
