Meta Costume

Meta Costume

A costume that comments on itself — dressing as a person famous partly because of you, for instance. Kim Kardashian’s North West look is a masterclass: a mother impersonating the daughter whose style she helped raise, posted to the platform that made them both icons. It works on every level at once, which is why it outran far more expensive costumes.
