Lil Nas X honors Kim Kardashian by wearing Balmain suit to Grammys 2022 nearly identical to her $20K pre-wedding dress
KIM Kardashian fans are convinced Lil Nas X paid tribute the 2014 Balmain bachelorette dress she wore ahead of her marriage to Kanye West.
The Montero singer hit the 2022 Grammys red carpet in a sharp-looking pearl-covered white outfit.
Fans of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star were quick to note the similarities between the looks.
On Sunday, Lil Nas X stepped out at the Grammys in Las Vegas wearing an all-white outfit designed by Balmain – one of Kim’s go-to fashion designers.
The outfit was covered in pearl details and featured a butterfly on the chest.
It looked strikingly similar to a mini dress the KKW Beauty mogul wore in 2014 ahead of her and Kanye’s nuptials.
The dress was light blue with a similar design in the center.
Like Lil Nas’ latest look, it was covered in peal details and appeared quilted in some parts.
While the Atlanta-born rapper didn’t reference Kim by name, fans think his look was a not-so-subtle nod to the reality TV personality.
The dress cost a whopping $20k.

It’s unclear how much Lil Nas X’s outfit would retail for, but it’s likely even more.
Kim is known to serve some serious looks, often opting for Balmain designs.
Lil Nas completed his Grammys 2022 look with matching boots that featured equally ornate details to the two-piece suit he stepped out in.
FLASHY FASHION
His hair was styled high atop his head and he smiled as he posed for photos.
The singer’s teeth were covered with a diamond-encrusted grill.
He also had diamond earrings in and several rings on his fingers.
Lil Nas X appeared to have a hint of blue eye shadow in the corners of his eyes – perhaps another nod to Kim’s 2014 look.
LOSING WITH GRACE
The Old Town Road singer was nominated for several awards at Sunday’s Grammy Awards.
He was also picked to perform at the show, taking the stage with Jack Harlow.
After his performance, the Song of the Year category was announced.
That was one of the awards he was up for, however, he lost to Silk Sonic – a group consisting of Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.
The rapper took to Twitter to make a joke about his misfortune, tweeting to his millions of followers: “Lost all my grammies [sic] so far. lets celebrate that!”
In addition to Song of the Year, Lil Nas X lost in the Best Music Video category.
He was beat out by Jon Batiste, who won for his song Freedom.
Additionally, Lil Nas X was beat out by Kanye – who didn’t even attend the awards show.
The Chicago rapper’s song Hurricane, which features the Weeknd and Lil Baby, won for best melodic rap performance, besting Lil Nas X yet again.
Before the awards show, Lil Nas X joked: “If I don’t leave with Grammys tomorrow I will be formally turning in my resignation letter to the illuminati.”
