Kim Kardashian caused quite a stir at the 2024 Met Gala. While walking the red carpet on May 6, the reality star made jaws drop by wearing the tiniest corset dress. Although Kardashian looked stunning, fans were concerned about her waist being tightly squeezed into her gown. Some even wondered if she could breathe. A new video shows the behind-the-scenes process of Kardashian getting dressed for the Met Gala. Let me tell you, it’s wild.
Was Kim Kardashian’s 2024 Met Gala Dress Worth the Pain?
In the video, Kardashian could be seen breathing through her mouth as her team tied her corset tightly around her waist. Despite being physically uncomfortable, the mother of four maintained her composure during the fitting. After someone off camera showed concern for her, Kardashian reassured her team she could handle the pain. She even made light of the situation by calling her breathing technique an “art form.”
Later in the video, Kardashian gushed how the corset dress accentuated her chest and waist. She said it made her figure look “so good.” Since she was having trouble breathing, Kardashian joked that she wouldn’t be able to properly “communicate” just how “snatched” she felt. So, although some fans would have preferred it if the Skims founder wore a more comfortable outfit, it seems the pain was worth it for Kardashian.
There’s no denying Kardashian looked beautiful at the 2024 Met Gala. According to Vogue, her viral dress was a custom look from Maison Margiela. It consisted of a metallic bustier top and a silver chain-mail dress with floral accents, as well as a gray cardigan. Her outfit was meant to capture the night’s dress code, “The Garden of Time,” which was based on a short story by J.G. Ballard.
