Feeling blue? Here’s something that might cheer you up: Kim Kardashian committed one of the greatest fashion faux pas of all time, the kind you thought only happened to Elle Woods in Legally Blonde. Kim K, all decked out for Halloween as Mystique from X-Men (a.k.a. the shape-shifting character played by both Rebecca Romijn and Jennifer Lawrence) attended Tracee Ellis Ross’s 50th birthday party, which she quickly learned was not a costume party, but a normal party.
For her Mystique costume, Kim K was covered in blue latex from neck to toe. Her face was covered in blue paint, and she wore a red wig and yellow contacts. But Kim didn’t go solo. The SKIMS founder formed a group of X-Women (sorry) alongside friends Olivia Pierson as Magik and Natalie Halcro as Selene.
Here’s the costume:

Unfortunately, Kim’s night didn’t go exactly as planned. She attended the 50th birthday dinner for actor Tracee Ellis Ross, only to discover that the event was not a costume party. Kardashian could have, and probably should have double-checked the occasion’s dress code, but maybe she assumed all celebs would be in costume. Or maybe she did it on purpose. After all, she has to have content for her grid.
Kim shared the faux pas in her Instagram Story, posting a selfie with the birthday queen. “That time I showed up to a birthday dinner in full costume when it wasn’t a costume party,” she wrote in the Story. “Happy Birthday to the most beautiful soul @traceeelliseross.”
