Kim Kardashian is set to star in the upcoming season of “American Horror Story.” The reality TV star-turned-actress confirmed her involvement in the hit anthology series during her walk on the red carpet at the Met Gala on May 1st.
In an interview with Variety’s Marc Malkin, Kardashian shared her excitement for the new role, saying, “It’s really fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new and grow. I'm so excited for the experience.” While she couldn’t reveal much about her character or the plot, she did confirm that filming would begin at the end of the month.
“Delicate” is the twelfth season of “American Horror Story” and is based on the upcoming novel “Delicate Condition” by Danielle Valentine. It stars Emma Roberts, Matt Czuchry, Cara Delevingne, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, MJ Rodriguez, and Odessa A’zion. The new season is said to be a scary tale in the vein of “Rosemary’s Baby.”
Kardashian has acted in several scripted projects before, including”Disaster Movie” in 2008, “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor” in 2013, and “PAW Patrol: The Movie” in 2021. She has also made cameo appearances in various TV shows and films over the years.
In addition to her acting news, Kardashian’s Met Gala look made headlines for its opulent design. The ensemble was designed by Schiaparelli and featured a draped skirt and top made from over 50,000 freshwater pearls and 16,000 crystals. The molded corset was made in blush satin with a bone white washed faille stole, and her accessories included a choker, pearl drop earrings, and an articulated ring made from crystals and unique baroque pearls. The outfit took one dozen artisans and over 1,000 hours to create, with each strand of pearls strung and draped to Kardashian’s body.
Kardashian’s acting announcement comes at a time when she is also going through a divorce from rapper Kanye West. The couple announced their split earlier this year after seven years of marriage. Despite the personal turmoil, Kardashian has remained busy with her various business ventures, including her KKW Beauty line and Skims shapewear brand.
While some may be surprised by Kardashian’s foray into acting, it’s clear that she's ready to take on new challenges and continue to grow as a performer. With the start of production just around the corner, fans will have to wait and see what kind of role she’ll play in the eerie world of “American Horror Story.”
