Kim Kardashian reveals she felt trapped and panicked in her suffocating Met Gala dress corset.
Kim Kardashian is no stranger to extravagant fashion statements, but her latest Met Gala look pushed her to the brink. The reality star and business mogul has revealed that she suffered extreme distress after donning a tightly cinched silver corset under a sheer Margiela by John Galliano gown at the 2024 Met Gala.
The starlet, known for her daring style, appeared poised and glamorous on the red carpet. Cameras flashed as she glided into the prestigious event, confidently stating, “I’m not as uncomfortable as I might look.” However, behind the dazzling exterior, she was battling mounting discomfort that soon escalated into sheer panic.
In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim opened up about the ordeal that unfolded once the event ended. The moment she stepped into her limousine, the pressure of the rigid corset became unbearable. Overwhelmed with anxiety, she began to panic.
“I felt like I was literally going to throw up,” she admitted. “I am claustrophobic. I’ve never felt this way before, where I feel like I can’t breathe.”
Her struggle intensified as she realised she was trapped in the constricting garment. The corset, designed to sculpt her waist into an exaggerated silhouette, left her gasping for air. “I can handle it for so long, but then I have to pee, I can’t breathe, I can’t get this off… I was like, I’m going to die if you don’t get this off me right now.”
Kim, who has endured countless tight-fitting outfits over the years, admitted this was unlike anything she had ever experienced. “I’ve never been more uncomfortable,” she confessed.
The fashion-forward star has previously embraced extreme styling choices in the name of beauty, including restrictive corsetry and towering heels. However, this experience may make her rethink the limits of style over comfort.
Despite the terrifying ordeal, Kim’s Met Gala ensemble dominated headlines, drawing both admiration and concern. While fans praised her bold look, some questioned the risks of extreme fashion and the toll it takes on the body.
For now, the SKIMS founder may take a more balanced approach to high fashion—at least one that allows her to breathe.
