Once Nicky picked out her clothing, she realized the look needed some glitzy accessories to make it a memorable Met Gala moment.

“I needed to be, like, glammed up, so I just went in and I throw on a necklace and I was out the door,” she said.

However, her mom immediately knew something was missing from her jewelry collection and called security after assuming someone broke in and stole it. “Within an hour she’s calling me, panicking,” Nicky remembered. “She has the entire Waldorf Astoria security team looking at the cameras.

Nicky’s older sister Paris, 40, has loved going into Kathy’s closet from a young age.

“When I was little, I would always go in the closet with my sister and I remember this one time, I put on this really cute floral, like, big puffy-sleeved Moschino dress with your Chanel glasses and your Manolos, and I took pictures,” Paris said. “I just saw them the other day.”

Now, Paris is thankful her mom’s influence affected her own sense of style. “[In] a Chanel jacket, you just look chic and elegant,” she said. “I would never wear that before, but when Nicky and my mom put me in them, it’s really a different look for me.”
