Kim Kardashian’s dress was a silver gown that embodied the Met Gala’s theme, ‘The Garden of Time’.
The most talked-about part of the outfit was the extremely thin waist. Kardashian wore a Maison Margiela corset designed by John Galliano that was so tight she required help moving around. It made her waist 19 inches.
A new video by Vogue revealed more about the controversial dress. We see Kardashian struggling to breathe as she’s squeezed into the corset. Despite the discomfort, Kardashian loved the way the corset accentuated her figure.
“It makes my boobs and waist look so good… I’ll feel so snatched, I won’t even be able to communicate to you how snatched I feel.” She said.
On the red carpet at the Met Gala, we see Kim struggling to walk up the stairs and being assisted.
Another interesting detail was Kardashian’s unique footwear. She wore special shoes with a thick, clear sole but no heels to avoid snagging the holes in her skirt. These shoes required her to walk on her tiptoes, but Kardashian felt the extra height was necessary for the look. In the video, she said “Ballerinas do it; why won’t I?”
The video also explains the idea behind the seemingly out-of-place cardigan she wore over the dress. According to Kardashian, it was meant to represent the casualness of throwing on a boyfriend’s sweater after a night out.
It should be noted that the writer of this article opines that Kim Kardashian makes beauty look like pain all the time and that her beauty standards are unrealistic and unattainable. Considering her influence, her outfit can generally trigger body dysmorphia since waists aren’t meant to be that thin.
