North West‘s Balmain jacket certainly looked familiar, but then it clicked! She donned the same sparkly 2016 outfit worn by her dad, Kanye West, on the Met Gala red carpet. North has always been supportive of her father’s style, and even though the rapper didn’t get an invite to the party, his jacket did…

North West’s Balmain jacket

North West’s jacket from Kanye’s archive is a custom Balmain embellished trucker jacket by Olivier Rousteing. She digged out the 2016 look and smiled for pictures with her mom, Kim Kardashian.

Kim and her daughter posed for photos under their Christmas tree at her Christmas Eve party, held at her home surrounded by celebrity guests and many pine trees covered in fake white snow.

The Hulu star wrote on her Instagram Story, “You know North went through the archives to pick her Dad’s Balmain Met jacket, iykyk [if you know, you know].” And yes, Kim, we do know!

The embellished trucker jacket that Kanye wore to the Met Gala was complimented by blue contact lenses and blue ripped jeans. He even matched with his then-wife’s silver costume dress!

Met Gala’s theme for that year was Manus x Machina: Fashion In An Age Of Technology, and the parents both wore blinged out looks for the occasion, while holding hands on the red carpet.
