Kim Kardashian West finally unmasked herself for the Met Gala after-party, following the head-to-toe Balenciaga look she wore earlier on Monday evening.

The 40-year-old founder of Skims was pictured leaving the Ritz Carlton Hotel by Central Park on her way to the Justin Bieber-hosted event in yet another black bodysuit Balenciaga look, according to Vogue.

The seemingly Catwoman-inspired outfit, comprised of skin-tight black material, wrapped around her shoes, arms, and waist. It also came with a flowing train, which trailed behind her as she walked.

Compared to her Met Gala red carpet outfit, her after-party look was slightly less incognito. Choosing to accessorize the outfit with a pair of angular black sunglasses, her face was partially visible as she made her way to the after-party in New York City.

Earlier in the evening, the outfit she wore to the Met's exhibition titled "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" became the source of Meta Gala memes on Twitter, with commentators comparing it to a sleep paralysis demon or the Dementors from the "Harry Potter" films. Despite being completely covered up, her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic posted Instagram photos on Tuesday revealing that the beauty mogul was in full glam beneath the mask.

In contrast to the Cher-inspired outfit she wore to the Met Gala 2019 after-party, a baby-blue Lycra minidress paired with a glittery wig, her second look for this year's biggest night in fashion was darker and much more covered up.

Both her main Met Gala 2021 and after-party looks follow a trend Kardashian West set as she arrived in New York City.

On Saturday, she was photographed wearing a leather outfit paired with a mask that zipped up to cover her eyes, nose, and mouth. Accessorizing her all-black-everything ensemble, she carried a silver glittery Balenciaga purse, which was priced at nearly $5,000 when it was in stock.
