Kim Kardashian isn’t afraid to be uncomfortable for the sake of style, but even she has her limits.

On the Thursday, Feb. 13, episode of The Kardashians, Kim, 44, details the discomfort she felt in the immediate aftermath of the 2024 Met Gala. The reality star attended the event wearing a sheer Margiela by John Galliano dress featuring a lace train with floral accents. But it was her silver corset — which gave her an impossibly tiny waist — that had everyone talking.

Her unique take on the night’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion» theme left some people wondering how she could breathe in the extreme waist-cinching ensemble. In the episode, it’s revealed that the answer to that question was: She almost couldn’t.

Early in the episode, Kim appears to be in good spirits as she gets ready for the evening with hairstylist Chris Appleton and designer John Galliano.

«I’m not as uncomfortable as I might look,» she says. «It’s definitely a performance piece. I mean, God bless the Bridgerton cast that has to dress like this every single day. That would be so difficult.»
