Kim Kardashian is no stranger to controversy, so it’s likely she won’t lose any sleep over the fact that her dress for the 2024 Met Gala has been labeled “unhealthy” by some.
The event, which took place yesterday, featured a who’s who of the biggest celebrities around. As usual, it was a chance for them to embrace the weird and wonderful with their outfits. This year’s theme was “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and the dress code was “The Garden of Time.”
Photos from the event showed attendees tapping into their more flamboyant sides, donning peculiar gowns and dresses designed to make bold statements.
Kim Kardashian, who wore a custom dress by John Galliano, was one of the most talked-about guests. The 43-year-old reality TV star’s outfit was described as a strapless silver corset over floor-length silver leaf mesh netting with a grey shrug-style cardigan. The look evoked strong reactions from those following the Met Gala from home.
We’re not saying Kim didn’t look great, but take a closer look at her outfit—specifically the corset part—and you might agree with those who felt “uncomfortable” about it.
The design of the corset made Kim’s waist look so small that it seemed like her body had been dramatically reshaped to fit into it. People took to social media to share their thoughts on her fashion choice, with some saying her outfit “actually is concerning” if others tried to emulate it.
One commenter said that Kardashian would “continue to promote an unhealthy waist” that was “not natural and healthy.”
“To all the ladies, this isn’t natural. Don’t think for one second this is what you need to look like,” one concerned Instagram user wrote.
Another added, “Kimberly, where is your torso?”
“Looks like you’re in pain,” said another.
“Disturbing,” quipped a fourth.
A fifth wrote, “Omg, are your organs ok?”
Kim’s look for this year’s Met Gala was reminiscent of bygone eras when women wore tightly laced corsets that could cause fainting and serious internal injuries. According to the Royal College of Surgeons in the UK, prolonged use of such corsets left women with deformed ribcages, impacted digestive tracts, and atrophied back muscles.
