Kim Kardashian, accustomed to stirring up controversy, likely isn’t losing any sleep over criticism of her 2024 Met Gala dress being deemed “unhealthy” by some.
The star-studded event, held yesterday, attracted a plethora of A-list celebrities. True to form, attendees seized the opportunity to showcase avant-garde ensembles in line with this year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and the dress code, “The Garden of Time.” Predictably, a flood of photos surfaced capturing the attendees embracing their eccentricities with flamboyant gowns and bold statements.
There’s been ample chatter about the dazzling ensembles sported by various A-listers at the Met Gala, but none garnered as much attention as Kim Kardashian, donning a bespoke creation by John Galliano.
The 43-year-old reality TV icon’s attire featured a strapless silver corset atop a floor-length silver leaf mesh netting, complemented by a grey shrug-style cardigan – a tongue-twister if ever there was one. This ensemble sparked fervent reactions from viewers tuning in from home.
While Kim K undeniably looked stunning, scrutiny of the corset component revealed its restrictive nature, prompting some to voice discomfort.
In simple terms, the corset’s design creates the illusion that the TV personality’s waist is incredibly small, giving the impression of a drastic body transformation to fit into it.
Social media buzzed with commentary on Kim’s fashion choices, with some expressing concern about the potential consequences if others tried to replicate her outfit.
One commenter remarked that Kardashian’s promotion of such an unhealthy waist was alarming and not a natural standard to aspire to.
“Hey ladies, this is not what you should strive for,” cautioned one Instagram user, highlighting the unnaturalness of the look.
Another questioned, “Where’s your torso, Kimberly?”
“It looks painful,” observed someone else.
“Quite disturbing,” quipped another.
“Are your organs okay?” worried a fifth.
Undoubtedly, Kim’s ensemble at this year’s Met Gala evoked images of past eras where women endured excruciatingly tight corsets, risking fainting and internal injuries.
According to the Royal College of Surgeons in the UK, prolonged corset use led to deformed ribcages, digestive issues, and weakened back muscles.
