Kourtney Kardashian has nothing to worry about when her tattooed Prince Charming is around!
The reality TV star, who gained recognition as a member of the famous Kardashians-Jenner clan, recently made her Met Gala debut.
By her side on this big day was none other than her fiancé Travis Barker, who twinned it up with his significant other for the annual prestigious fashion event.
Kourtney Kardashian's First Met Gala Is Nerves-Free Thanks To Her Fiancé
Before strutting down the iconic Met Gala's red carpet, Kardashian underwent a series of glam steps to achieve her flawless look for the event and shared the juicy details on her POOSH website.
Surprisingly, being one of the most famous people in the world did not mean that the 43-year-old media personality had nerves of steel as the Los Angeles native previously avoided the Met Gala.
According to the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" alum, she never considered attending the fashion event because it always felt "too overwhelming and seemed like a lot of pressure."
The mother-of-three admitted that she used to get nervous on red carpets; however, her worries were blown out the window when Barker entered the picture.
Taking the opportunity to praise her fiancé, the soon-to-be bride explained that she enjoyed going on these types of outings with the Blink-182 drummer because he made every occasion fun.
This is why the couple decided to enjoy themselves without any pressure after receiving an invitation to this year's Met Gala. In the TV personality's words:
"When Travis and I were invited this year, we decided we were going to just enjoy the process, have fun being together, and not stress about it— and that’s exactly what we did!"

The "Kardashian Konfidential" co-writer revealed that she enjoyed a relaxing facial a night before the event after skincare expert Joanna Czech came to the couple's suite at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Central Park.
To keep the tranquil atmosphere going, the lovebirds went out for matcha on the day of the Met Gala, worked out, and had lunch before preparing for the fashion event.
The dynamic duo also used the prestigious ceremony to promote their blossoming romance by wearing matching outfits made by Thom Browne.
The "Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive" alum explained that the pair were the first couple the luxury fashion designer had ever styled, and his vision consisted of making them an extension of each other.
Barker looked "perfectly polished in a gilded era-inspired white-tie formal look," while the reality TV star became the "unrefined, undone version" of him by using pieces of her fiancé's outfit to create her look.
For their complete ensembles, the "Kourtney And Kim Take New York" star rocked a cropped white button-down shirt paired with a black mermaid-inspired maxi skirt designed with a muslin cummerbund corset.
On the other hand, the American socialite's significant other rocked a similar style with a white shirt and matching white bow tie paired with a black tuxedo jacket, black pleated skirt, and black trousers.
The couple also twinned it up by designing their thumbs with an old English K and wearing matching black shoes for the event, with Barker in flats and Kardashian in heels.
