Kim Kardashian Turns Heads at Met Gala with Controversial Corset Outfit

Kim Kardashian has always been a controversial figure when it comes to her Met Gala outfits. Every year, the reality TV star manages to spark conversations with her bold fashion choices at the prestigious event. This year was no different, as Kim made a statement in a custom Maison Margiela corset that tightly cinched her waist.

The corset was so snug and restrictive that Kim needed help to climb the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Many online spectators wondered how she was able to breathe in such a tight outfit. In Kim's own words, it was an 'art form'.

A behind-the-scenes video was shared online, showing the process of Kim getting fitted into the corset. When asked if she could breathe, Kim confidently replied, "It's an art form, but I got it," as her team laced her up. Despite the obvious discomfort, Kim managed to breathe through her mouth as she squeezed into the metallic corset.

The ensemble was completed with a silver brocade skirt. Despite the challenges of wearing the corset, Kardashian expressed her love for it because it accentuated her figure in a flattering way. Kim complemented her outfit with unique shoes that featured a thick clear sole but no heels to prevent her skirt from getting caught.

She described the experience of wearing the shoes as similar to that of a ballerina, constantly balancing on her tiptoes. Kim's overall look at the Met Gala aligned with the event's theme of Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. She explained that her outfit was inspired by the idea of waking up after a magical night and hurriedly grabbing her boyfriend's sweater before running out the door.

This real-life scenario resonated with Kim, who later rushed to catch a flight to Hamburg, Germany, immediately after the Gala to attend the 2024 OMR Festival as a guest speaker the next day. Kim Kardashian's daring outfit at the Met Gala once again set tongues wagging and solidified her status as a fashion icon who isn't afraid to push boundaries with her style choices.
