Kardashian paired the gown with a slicked-back bun and natural makeup, opting for a minimalist approach with no accessories, leading some to joke it looked as if she had rolled out of bed and wrapped herself in a sheet.

“Like the fitted sheet no one can fold,” one user wrote in the comments section of Vanity Fair's Instagram post.

"Is it a trash bag or a shower curtain?" someone else asked.

Another chimed in with, “Toilet paper and a terrible tan.”

"Two-ply?" someone else wrote.

One commenter joked, “Spare a square?” while another dubbed her “Kleenex Kardashian.”

Interestingly, the gown was crafted from Tyvek, a high-density polyethylene material typically used in house wrap, personal protective equipment, and medical packaging, adding another layer to its unconventional design.
