KIM K'S TOXIC 'WAIST'
Painfully pretty Met look: Corset, heelless heels
Looking good is torture. Kim Kardashian on Thursday detailed exactly what went into her elaborate outfit to the Met Gala, which involved whittling inches off her waist and wearing “invisible” heels that put enormous pressure on her feet.
The pictures resemble a medieval interrogation with a hautecouture twist.
Holding hands with designer John Galliano, Kardashian, 43, is slowly bound into a silver Maison Margiela corset and metal skirt.
“How’s your breathing? How’s it going?” a voice asks off-camera in one video, before Kardashian replies, “It’s . . . it’s an art form. But I got it.”
It’s unclear how much the corset changes her body dimensions, which are already supposedly, and shockingly, 34-26-41. But her internal organs certainly seem squeezed.
The corset was “couture . . . rewoven from antique silver brocade,” according to Galliano. The shirt, meanwhile, was silver metal with chains, crystal pendants, pearls and “floral motifs cut from mirror fragments.”
In the video Kardashian also shows off her shoes, which had previously been hidden by the floor-length skirt. The strappy, clear sandals included an intense platform and no heel, so a stiletto wouldn’t get caught in the skirt.
Friends and family members were awestruck.
“Damsel in distress,” commented sister Khloé Kardashian. “That invisible heel is wild! How did you manage? I definitely would have fallen.”
Fans also commented on the eye-popping corset, with one writing that she looked to be in “agony” and another remarking, “Kim is extreme when it comes to dressing.”
