ê Shocking waistline
One of the stars’ most talked about looks at the 2024 Met Gala was Kim Kardashian. She appeared at the fashion world’s biggest night in a silver Maison Margiela corset personally designed by creative director John Galliano and a metallic skirt that showed off her famous hourglass figure.
Kim Kardashian shocked with her tiny waist on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet.
The outfit isn’t as elaborate as Zendaya and Cardi B’s or as bold as Jennifer Lopez and Emily Ratajkowski’s, but the level of discussion about it is much higher. The reason is because Kim’s unbelievable waist is “super round butt”.
Kim’s waist is so small that it looks like a comic book character and is out of proportion to her body. Many spectators seemed unable to believe what they saw. Some people even asked: “How many ribs did she have removed?”. Others wondered how the American reality TV star could breathe in such a tight shirt and worried whether her internal organs would be damaged.
In fact, Kim has difficulty breathing when wearing a high-end handmade outfit. In a behind-the-scenes video published by Vogue magazine on May 7, Kim had to practice breathing while staff helped her wear a corset and style her hair. The people around felt worried for the beauty and asked her: “How is your breathing?” How are things going?
However, that little difficulty is not a problem for the female billionaire born in 1980. Despite forcing her body, Kim calls what she wears “art” and is proud to own it.
She shared her passion for John Galliano’s designs for many years and took a lot of time to convince the creative director of Maison Margiela to agree to make her outfit for the Met Gala.
“To put it mildly, I spent about four or five years following him to see if he would design my clothes at the Met,” the mother of four revealed.
Obsession with appearance
The Kardashians star’s body has changed a lot over the past two decades. After gaining popularity in the 2000s, her plump curves quickly became a hot topic of discussion. Faced with rumors of butt augmentation, Kim angrily denied it, even going so far as to take an X-ray in an episode of the reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians to prove it.
Although she always affirms that her famous butt is natural, Kim is open about cosmetic intervention elsewhere to get her dream hourglass body. She once admitted that she had skin tightening in her navel area after giving birth to her two older children, North and Saint West.
After her daughter North was born in 2013, Kim shared that she cried every day because she gained 27 kg. She was under intense pressure and depressed when she was constantly compared “to what society considers a healthy pregnant person.”
The 8X beauty also expressed frustration when people discussed her weight loss on social networks.
“Anyone who has had a baby knows how difficult it is to lose weight (especially in the final stages of weight loss) and how your body changes completely. Mocking me for being pregnant and mocking me for trying to lose weight, it’s embarrassing for you guys. I’m not perfect but I will never conform to your skinny standards. Sorry, it’s not me. So far, I’ve lost a lot of weight and I’m proud of it,” Kim wrote on Twitter (today X).
Starting in 2014, Kim applied the waist training method using a waist belt. She often shares that process on Instagram.
After giving birth to son Saint in 2015, Kim adopted the Atkins diet – which limits carbohydrate intake – to lose weight. Kim said she wanted to feel sexy again and feel good about herself.
In a 2017 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians , Kim teared up while discussing the intense scrutiny she faced after a photo of her unusual butt on a Mexican beach was released. The 8X star lamented that people made her feel embarrassed and constantly put pressure on her.
Appearing on The View later that year, Kim shared the public’s reaction to the photos that made her want to get back in shape after taking a break from working out due to two surgeries on her uterus. At that time, America’s super butt hired bodybuilder Melissa Alcantara to help her improve her figure.
“I wake up every morning between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. and exercise before my children wake up. I practice for an hour and a half every day. In just a few weeks, my body became firmer. I literally zoomed out and got into position. I am very excited. We are training intensely and I love working out. It’s an effective stress reliever,” Kim said.
In August 2018, Kim revealed to E! has lost 9 kg to 52.6 kg. In addition to working out, Kanye West’s ex-wife seriously diets. She chooses good starches like sweet potatoes, small amounts of fat and protein along with vegetables.
Besides, the businesswoman is also frank about some extreme measures to get the right body. Kim said she underwent “waist training” by wearing a tight corset for hours and had to learn to breathe to fit into Thiery Mugler’s “wet” dress at the 2019 Met Gala.
In 2022, she fasted and successfully lost 7.2 kg in just 3 weeks so she could fit into Marilyn Monroe’s Happy Birthday Mr. President dress.
Sharing with Vogue later, the female billionaire announced that she completely cut out starch and sugar in her diet.
“I wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill, completely cut out sugar and carbohydrates, eat only the cleanest vegetables and proteins. I don’t starve but am very strict with myself” , said Miss Skim.
