There were tears, nerves

"Year 1- 2013 Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy," Kardashian West captioned the first set of pics. "I was Kanye’s plus one & so nervous! I didn’t know anyone & I’m sure no one wanted me there lol. I did my own lipstick & the color is so off. I went home & cried after of insecurity but this is one of my fave looks now."

"Year 2- 2014 Alber Elbaz for Lanvin. I was invited on my own this year!" she continued. "We just had our Vogue cover & Alber gave me the dress I wore on the cover so Anna suggested I wear Lanvin. Not sure why we picked blue lol. Following our cover, this is a dream."

Her confidence builds

"I felt so confident this year! I had more of an opinion and collaborated so well. I really felt so good this night," she shared about pics from "Year 3."

She can also admit when she's made a mistake.

Year 4- 2016 Olivier Rousteing for Balmain. I was back to insecure this year because I hadn’t lost all of my baby weight. Big mistake to bleach the brows but Kanye looked so good this year with those blue eyes! It was super controversial that he wore denim. pic.twitter.com/Ry8FaBEvvn

Even alone, Kardashian West has been a showstopper the last two years.

Going solo

"This was my first year going solo. I was so nervous to go by myself I almost threw up on the way," she admitted.

Year 5-2017 Vivienne Westwood. This was my first year going solo. I was so nervous to go by myself I almost threw up on the way & I had to pee every second.. I was FaceTiming my sisters to meet up at the top of the stairs. Vivienne made me this beautiful dress from her archive. pic.twitter.com/X1yA0RW4g7
