While walking the May 1 Met Gala carpet in a bold pearl ensemble, Kim Kardashian spoke to Variety‘s Marc Malkin about her upcoming role in “American Horror Story: Delicate.”
“We start shooting my stuff at the end of this month. But production has already started and I’m so excited,” Kardashian said.
Although she couldn’t tease much about the role, she did say, “It’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. I’m so excited for the experience.” When asked if she was taking acting lessons to prepare, she said, “I am, of course. It’s a challenge. I like to challenge myself.”
“Delicate” is the twelfth season of the anthology show, which also stars Emma Roberts, Matt Czuchry, Cara Delevingne, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, MJ Rodriguez and Odessa A’zion. It’s based on the upcoming novel “Delicate Condition” by Danielle Valentine, and is said to be a scary tale in the vein of “Rosemary’s Baby.”
Outside of her extensive work in reality television, Kardashian has also acted for scripted fare such as 2008’s “Disaster Movie,” 2013’s “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor” and 2021’s “PAW Patrol: The Movie.”
Meanwhile, Kardashian’s ornate Met Gala look was designed by Schiaparelli. Per a press release, “She wore a draped skirt and top made from over 50,000 freshwater pearls and over 16,000 crystals, molded corset is in blush satin, with a bone white washed faille stole. Her choker, pearl drop earrings,and articulated ring are made in crystals and unique baroque pearls. Ms. Kardashian’s look took one dozen artisans and over 1,000 hours to create, as each strand of pearls was strung and draped to her body.”
