It’s been over six-years since she was pretty much laughed off the red carpet when she attended the 2013 Met Gala while heavily pregnant with daughter, North, wearing a not-entirely-flattering floral-print gown… and Kim Kardashian is STILL not over it!

In a new video for Vogue, the Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s star reflected on the wardrobe fail.
“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, noting that she didn’t actually get an invitation.
“Kanye [West] was performing so I wasn’t actually invited, I was just Kanye’s plus one. And that was okay with me because I never really dreamed I would be at the Met Ball,” she said, adding, “I know no one really probably wanted me there at the time.”
The 39-year-old went on to explain that then-Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci – who also dressed Kanye on the night – was conscious of keeping her growing baby bump in mind when designing the dress.
“We chose a really stretchy fabric because I would be growing and we wanted to make sure that alterations were easy and it was comfortable,” she said, while also revealing that two versions were made: a black gown and the floral print she eventually went with.
“I was like, ‘I think I should just do the black version,’ and Riccardo was like, ‘No, c’mon, we have to do the floral,’ ” she explained, adding the the designer later gave a sweet explanation for his choice. “Riccardo said afterwards, ‘What do you give a woman who is pregnant? You send her flowers.’ ”
“I could never really speak up at that point because I so shy and just wanted to make everybody happy,” she recalled, adding that she eventually agreed on the printed option after Tisci told her that Anna Wintour, Vogue‘s editor-in-chief who co-chairs the annual event, was also pushing for it.
However, after pictures of Kim in the dress went viral, fans started making memes mocking the mum-of-four.
“I think Robin Williams even tweeted it, said I looked like Mrs. Doubtfire,” she said. “I was crying the whole way home because I just couldn’t believe it.”
Kim has certainly come a long way since her Met Gala fail. However, the reality star came under fire from husband Kanye ahead of this year’s Met Gala as he thought her “dripping wet” dress was “too sexy”.
