Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson knew the assignment when they rocked up to the 2022 Met Gala.
They closed out the red carpet - a coveted position reserved for fashion heavyweights or the 'it' celebrities of the moment - marking the importance of 'Skete' in pop culture.

With all this hype in mind, it's hard to believe Kardashian and Davidson have only been together since late 2021.
But as a lot has happened in this short period, we thought it helpful to recap everything we know about the relationship between the reality star andSaturday Night Livecomedian.
More than a year after filing for divorce from Kanye West, Kim Kardashian was declared 'legally single' in March 2022. It was a messy divorce between the two, and continues to be, with West repeatedly making aggressive "social media outbursts".
And a lot of those outbursts had to do with Pete Davidson.
In late 2021, Davidson and Kardashian were seen out together at a Californian theme park. The pair were holding hands on a rollercoaster and were joined for the outing by Kourtney Kardashian and her fiancé Travis Barker.
It was the pairing that precisely no one saw coming
At the time a source 'close to the family' said to PEOPLE: "They hang in the same circles so they will be together from time to time. It's just friends hanging out."
However, just a short time before, Kardashian and Davidson had performed together during herSNLhosing debut – the pair sharing a kiss during one sketch.
She later said to the press that her and Davidson had been talking prior to theSNLperformance.

Throughout the following month, the pair were spotted on multiple dates throughout New York City, with yet another close source now saying the pair were seeing each other romantically but not seriously.
"Kim thinks Pete's hilarious. Pete is quite the charmer, and she totally understands the allure. Kim loves that they just laugh the entire time they are together and she is really enjoying hanging out with him," the source said to E! News.
"Things are definitely casual. Kim isn't looking to date anyone right now. She's loving this time in her life and having a lot of fun. There is no pressure between them. Pete is a very chill and casual guy, and she likes that. They have plans to see each other again while Kim is in New York City. Whatever is going on between them is exciting to her."
By late November, the couple confirmed their relationship.
But as the romance between Kardashian and Davidson developed, Kanye West's frustration grew. He made his feelings public, and things got pretty scary very quickly.
In text messages West posted publicly, Kardashian told West he was "creating a dangerous and scary environment".
"Someone will hurt Pete and this will all be your fault," she told him. Soon after, West apologised for sharing their private messages. He said he was "going to handle the situation myself" and asked "upon my wife's request" that his followers not "do anything physical" to Davidson.
Later in a court hearing, Kardashian described West's "social media outbursts" as "causing emotional distress" to her and her loved ones.
And then in March 2022, things got worse.
Just hours after Kardashian was declared 'legally single', West dropped a music video for his song 'Eazy'. The video clip portrays him kidnapping and burying a claymation depiction of Davidson (who he calls Skete) alive. Roses sprout from the characters's head and are then loaded into the back of a pickup truck - a reference to West's public Valentine's Day gift to Kardashian. The song featured lyrics like, "God saved me from the crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidson's a**"..The spectacle was a disturbing watch.
Regardless, Davidson and Kardashian continued on with their relationship. And by April, they were making things Instagram official.
