Kim Kardashian turned up at the 2021 Met Gala looking quite literally like a shadow of her former self.
If you've missed it, here's a photo of her outfit that has spawned a good number of memes in a matter of days (the gala took place on Sep. 13):

According to Vogue, Kim was wearing a Balenciaga haute couture gown with a mask that obscured her visage, as well as a matching train.

From the red carpet to Paya Lebar Quarter
Soon enough, some marketing/social media executive/intern (we presume), who possibly tried and failed to sweep the idea under the carpet, was made to wear a replica of the outfit in full public view.
All in the name of publicity and marketing, which is as good a reason as any.
This person, who is the definition of earning their keep, had to wear tights on their face, in addition to a swathe of bath towels around legs for the "train".
10/10 for being the first (that we know of) to jump on the meme though.
