Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala corset gown from the 2024 event caused quite a stir, as seen in a behind-the-scenes video from Vogue. In the video, Kardashian appeared to struggle with her breath in the form-fitting silver dress, eliciting concern from those around her. Despite the discomfort, she mentioned that wearing the dress was an art form and that she was able to handle it, showcasing her commitment to her look.
In the video, Kardashian revealed that she had wanted to collaborate with Maison Margiela to design her Met Gala look for years. She expressed her admiration for the brand and designer John Galliano, citing a theatrical fashion show filled with corsets that drew her in. The opportunity to work with Galliano was a dream come true for Kardashian, who expressed a desire to do justice to his work and craftsmanship.
After donning the corset for the event, Kardashian commented that she felt “snatched,” emphasizing the tightness and constriction of the garment. Despite her stunning appearance on the red carpet, some social media users expressed concerns about her well-being in such a tight dress. Comments ranged from praise for her figure to questions about where her organs were located due to the tightness of the gown.
While Kim Kardashian has not addressed the controversy surrounding her Met Gala look, her sister Khloé Kardashian took to social media to express her admiration for the ensemble. Khloé raved about her sister’s appearance, indicating that she was blown away by Kim’s choice of outfit for the event. This is not the first time Kim has made headlines for her daring fashion choices, as she previously wore Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday Mr. President” dress at the 2022 Met Gala.
Prior to wearing the Monroe-inspired dress, Kim Kardashian shared her intense preparation process, which involved losing 16 pounds to fit into the garment. Her regimen included wearing a sauna suit, exercising twice a day, cutting out sugar and carbohydrates from her diet, and focusing on clean eating. Despite the challenges and strict routine, Kardashian was able to achieve her desired look for the event, showcasing her dedication to her fashion choices and willingness to go to great lengths for her appearance.
