Kim Kardashian stunned her fans by showcasing her tiniest waistline yet as she stepped out to the 2024 Met Gala.

The SKIMS founder looked striking in a corseted metallic gown as she joined the celebrity elite on the red carpet at the annual fashion industry bash. While Kim's bobbly cashmere cardigan she teamed with her glamorous gown was a talking point for some, it was her tiny waistline that sparked more debating over her look.

Kim headed into the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City wearing a silver Margiela by John Galliano corseted dress with anon-trend sheer skirt that cinched her waist and left it looking even smaller and more svelte than usual. The look has left fans questioning how she managed to appear so tiny.

Kim's extreme look appears to have been achieved thanks to the corset incorporated into the dress crafted from an antique silver brocade material pulled extremely tight to sculpt her figure into an exaggerated hourglass shape. At one point the star was seen supposedly struggling to breathe in the outfit and needed assistance walking on the steps of the iconic venue.

It isn't yet clear if she dieted for the look, however Kim is known for making sacrifices for fashion - in 2022 when she wore Marilyn Monroe's nude-illusion dress she shed over 20lbs just to fit into the legendary fashion item. Prior to that in 2019 Kim wore her famous skintight latex beaded Thierry Mugler gown that was so tight, she couldn’t even sit down during dinner. The gown - which took eight months to make - was carefully designed so it looked as though she was dripping wet and was adorned with raindrop-esque crystals.

"If I gotta pee, it's a problem," she was filmed telling her team as she was helped into her outfit. "If it's an emergency, I think I pee my pants and then have my sister wipe my leg up. I'm not even joking. She can wipe my leg up."

Kim's 2024 look saw her make a return to platinum blonde hair wearing it in loose messy waves as she ramped up the glamour with a full-face of makeup and simplistic nude lip. She also wore long pointed nude nails as she clutched at the controversial cardigan added to the outfit.

Kim's fans were left divided over the look with some taking to Instagram to comment on her tiny waist. One commented: "I love you and respect you so much as a mother and entrepreneur, but your waist being cinched in so tight does not look healthy or send the right message. Not that my 2 cents matters in the grand scheme of your you life, just had to say it." While another wrote: "I respect the branding beast she is as well as the style but the waist is scary."
