Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala appearance sparked concern among fans on social media. Despite supporting women’s fashion choices, Kardashian, known for promoting various products and sometimes facing criticism for her presentation, faced scrutiny for her look at the 2024 Met Gala. She wore a silver, John Galliano corset-style dress, which some found striking but others deemed concerning due to its extremely cinched waist.

Social media users expressed worry about the potential discomfort and health risks of such a tight-fitting dress. One user remarked on Kardashian’s apparent difficulty moving in the outfit, while another questioned if she had broken her ribs. However, some defended her, suggesting that jealousy might be driving the criticism.

Corsetry, while not usually fatal, can be harmful, according to the Charleston Museum. Tight corsets can reduce lung capacity, cause breathing difficulties, skin irritation, rib compression, and weaken muscles. They may even lead to organ deformity and worsen existing health issues.
