Watch: Kris Jenner on Getting Ready With 5 Daughters for Met Gala 2022

From one American icon to another!

To honor the 2022 Met Gala theme, "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," Kris Jenner took inspiration from a former First Lady known for her style, she told Live From E! at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 2. Swapping her trademark pixie cut for a bob, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum explained of her look, "I'm just kind of channeling a little Jackie Kennedy tonight."

The dress code for this year's star-studded affair was "Gilded Glamour" and Kris made sure to pay homage to the glitzy era with a yellow Oscar de la Renta gown that featured a sequin hem. The momager paired the elegant dress with white gloves and a sparkly clutch. (See more red carpet looks here.)

Kris added of her ensemble, "I wanted to do something glamorous and chic—and easy."

Hosted by Regina KingBlake LivelyRyan Reynolds and Lin-Manuel Miranda, this year's event marked the first Met Gala for Kris' daughters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian. To celebrate, the 66-year-old and her kids—including Kim Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner—all got ready for the soiree together.

While the glam session was a bit of "a process," Kris said the family "had a ball" nonetheless.

She added, "All five of my daughter's will be on the carpet tonight, so I'm gonna get to the top [of the stairs] and just watch them walk in, which I love to do."
