It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian is always in the news for one thing or another, especially when it comes to her fashion choices.
The recent Met Gala event was no exception, and Kim made sure to turn heads on the red carpet while her older Kardashian sisters were absent.
Although we’ve come to expect Kim to cause a stir at these events, this time around, some people are saying that she may have gone too far in the name of fashion.
Remember when she wore Marilyn Monroe’s priceless dress at the In America theme two years ago? Well, this time, fans are once again worried about what she’s chosen to wear.
For 2024’s Garden of Time look, the Skims founder donned a Maison Margiela corset and cinched her waist within an inch of it’s life.
That unattainable figure seemed to be a struggle for even Kim as she appeared to be short of breath on the Met Gala runway.
She flashed the silver corset, with cascading silver leaf detailing making up a see-through floor-length skirt.
Her look was completed with a grey cropped John Galliano cardigan, which she delicately clasped around her shoulders.
Kim wore her platinum blonde hair down around her face, subtly hitting back at speculation she has bleach damaged it so much it fell out in a so-called chemical cut.
However, stunning the dress was, fans were not impressed by the extreme corsetry from the media mogul.
‘Y’all Kim k can’t breathe in this dress…’ wrote Ayah on X with a video of the reality star walking and looking uncomfortable as she took short shallow breaths.
‘She’s obviously struggling to grasp her breath,’ replied Odogwu Anioma as manicore added: ‘Kim give it up i know your intestines are BEGGING for help.’
‘Good this should be a telltale sign that she is NOT the direction we should be going in for beauty and fashion,’ added cowboylikejonah.
‘Kim K literally looks like she’s going to faint trying to breath[e] in her dress,’ added Kassidy.
Ciandria shared: ‘Mam. We don’t care about how small your waist is. You shouldn’t care either. Let it out girl! Don’t let the internet do you like that.’
As the Kardashian family are so often key in influencing major trends, Kim’s snatched waist could do more than just damage her ability to breath.

AS SOMEONE THAT WEARS CORSETS A LOT FOR WORK:
Well fitted corsets should NOT cause you pain or lack of breath. When put on, adjust your breasts & fill your tummy OUT. Corsets are comfortable as hell. Kim Kardashian's will make her irreversibly ill. I wore ONE bad fitted corset+

Fans are concerned this will spark a return to horrifically small waists and pressure, particularly on femme-presenting people, to be increasingly thinner.
