Kim Kardashian made a dramatic entrance at the 2024 Met Gala, showcasing a bold fashion statement that required extensive preparation, as revealed in a behind-the-scenes Vogue video.
Wearing a custom Maison Margiela corset, Kardashian needed assistance navigating the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art due to the outfit’s constrictive design.
In the video, Kardashian is seen being tightly laced into the corset, which she described as an “art form.”
The corset, intricately woven with antique silver brocade, was part of a look designed to enhance her silhouette, which she admitted made her feel incredibly “snatched.”
Despite the challenge of breathing and moving, Kardashian expressed her love for the corset’s effect on her appearance.
The ensemble also featured a metal see-through skirt and a custom thong by Maison Margiela, designed to ensure coverage despite the revealing nature of the outfit.
Furthermore, Kardashian wore specially designed shoes with thick clear soles and no heels, requiring her to balance on her tiptoes like a ballerina—an addition she believed necessary to elevate the outfit’s dramatic impact.
Kardashian’s Met Gala look was not just about fashion but also storytelling, aligning with the event’s theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
She likened the outfit to waking up in a garden after the best night of her life, wearing what she described as a “boyfriend’s sweater,” adding a personal touch to the fairy tale-inspired theme.
