Kim Kardashian is no stranger to splitting opinions, so it’s unlikely she’ll be too bothered about her 2024 Met Gala outfit being called “unhealthy” by some.
The event, which took place yesterday, was attended by the biggest celebrities. They had the chance to embrace the strange and fantastic, with this year’s theme being “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” and the dress code as “The Garden of Time.”
Naturally, a flood of images from the event appeared, showing participants in colorful and head-turning gowns and outfits.
Kim Kardashian stole the show in a custom John Galliano dress. The 43-year-old reality TV star wore a floor-length silver leaf mesh netting, a grey cardigan-like shrug, and a strapless silver corset. This ensemble sparked strong reactions from Met Gala viewers.
While no one could deny Kim’s stunning look, the corset’s tight fit made many people feel “uncomfortable.” Her waist looked so tiny that it seemed like her body had been drastically reshaped to fit into the outfit.
People took to social media to share their thoughts on Kim’s wardrobe choice. Some said that trying to copy her look “actually is concerning.”
One commenter said Kim was “continuing to promote an unhealthy waist” that was “not natural and healthy.”
A worried Instagram user warned, “To all the ladies, this isn’t natural. Don’t think for one sec this is what you need to look like.”
“Kimberly, where is your torso?” another person asked.
“Seems like you’re hurting,” someone else said.
“Scary,” remarked a fourth person.
“OMG, are your organs ok?” wrote a fifth.
Kim’s outfit brought back memories of times when women wore tightly laced corsets, risking fainting or severe internal damage. According to the Royal College of Surgeons in the UK, long-term use of such corsets caused women’s back muscles to weaken, digestive tracts to be affected, and ribcages to become deformed.
