Kim Kardashian's Met Gala gown was made from more than 66,000 pearls.

The 42-year-old reality TV queen made her 10th appearance at the Met Gala and stepped out in an extravagant custom Schiaparelli haute couture dress by Daniel Roseberry.

As reported by Vogue, the skirt and top - which took 12 artisans a staggering 1,000 hours to make - were made from over 50,000 freshwater pearls and 16,000 crystal pearls.

Reflecting on her way of paying tribute to Lagerfeld, Kim said: "I wanted pearls.

"I thought, 'What is more Karl?' You know, the iconic Chanel pearls is what I always thought of. So we wanted to just be dripping in pearls."
