Lip reader reveals what Kim Kardashian said as she scolded security guard in awkward moment before Met Gala

Kim Kardashian hoped to turn heads at the Met Gala but before she could get there she had a tense moment with her security.

Kim Kardashian is a regular at the Met Gala and like many other celebrities uses it as an opportunity to delight fans with her fashion choices.

Leaving her hotel to head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, she was met by a barrage of fans who got the first look at her head-to-toe black leather Chrome Hearts dress.

As expected, she was escorted by security but ended up having to 'scold' one of her security guards as she and daughter North West exited the building.

This moment was captured on video by one of her fans who promptly uploaded it to TikTok where many people laughed at the awkward interaction.

One user commented: "It’s the hair flick for me like boy don’t mess this up for me."

With another adding: "Someone almost made her fall. She looks amazing!"

A third added: "Look how they step on kim's dress and act like it's not him I think he's still in the clouds."

The security guard appeared to trip over the long dress, almost causing Kim to fall herself.

Immediately after the reality TV star shot a stern look at the security member with many questioning what she would have said to him.

While it can’t be heard in the clip what Kim says to her security detail, a lip reading expert has weighed in on what they reckon was said.

Lip reading expert Nicola Hickling claimed to the Mirror that Kim said: “Can you watch where you step?"

If this is what Kim said, this hardly comes as a surprise as anyone would be annoyed if their dress got damaged or messed up before even arriving at the star-studded event.

This year’s theme for the Met Gala was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, with the dress code being 'Tailored for You'.

And Kim got a bit of a mixed reception on social media for her outfit.

Some users praised the star for her daring outfit, with one saying: "Look at the details of the outfit. The texture, the suit-like pockets on the top, the lapel, the back detail of the top, the hat. It's definitely a twist on menswear while still tailored to her personal style. Perfectly on theme. Even more so than others."

However others have been more critical, with another adding: "kim kardashian thought she would get away with that ridiculous outfit by putting on that hat."

UNILAD has contacted Kim Kardashian's representatives for comment.
