Kim Kardashian is once again getting slammed by critics for “crushing her organs” in the extremely tight corset she wore for the 2024 Met Gala on Monday, May 6.
The reality TV star shocked online lookers after posing for photos in an excessively tight John Galliano for Maison Margiela dress for the celebrity-filled fundraising event. The see-through gown noticeably showed off her midsection. She added a modest knit sweater to the ensemble.
Not everyone was impressed by Kim Kardashian’s 2024 Met Gala look. The critics were quick to share their thoughts on social media.
“I’m not saying the media is to blame for young women’s eating disorders,” one critic wrote. “But Kim Kardashian crushing her organs to be thin on a red carpet sure doesn’t f—ing help.”
Other social media users agreed with the observation, with some pointing out that Kardashian was struggling to even take a step.
“Kim Kardashian with blue lips, barely able to breathe due to extreme corseting at [Met Gala]. Extreme corseting is an S/M practice, but is KK consenting? And should she be? This extreme look sends all kinds of wrong messaging.”
“The inability to breathe, the resulting issue [with] left breast implant… I hope she does some serious reflecting this morning,” another critic wrote. “It’s just all gone too far. Lovely woman, time to rethink everything.”
However, the online trolls didn’t stop Kim Kardashian enjoying the night and the gown. She took to Instagram to share images of her in the dress.
Kim Kardashian Was Accused of Damaging Tight Marilyn Monroe Iconic Dress at 2022 Met Gala
This isn’t the first time The Kardashians star made headlines over her Met Gala dress choices.
In 2022, Kim Kardashian borrowed Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday” dress for the fundraising event. However, she was quickly criticized when critics noticed Kardashian was stretching the dress, with what they thought was noticeable damage.
Kardashian addressed the accusation on Today, noting that she was so careful about the dress. The handlers from Ripley’s Believe It or Not! even had gloves on as they put the gown on her.
“I showed up to the red carpet in a robe and slippers,” Kim Kardashian explained. “And I put the dress on at the bottom of the carpet, went up the stairs – I probably had it on for three minutes, four minutes. And then I changed right at the top of the steps.”
Kardashian pointed out that Ripley’s had denied the rumors and she worked so well with the handlers to ensure the dress remained in its best condition. “There were handlers in gloves that put it on me,” she continued.
The reality TV star also said she was extra careful with Monroe’s dress because she respected her. “I understand how much this dress means to American history,” she added.
