Kardashian stepped onto the red carpet in a corset-style dress by John Galliano, combined with a 'shredded' sweater for the Gala's theme "Garden of Time" and the overall exhibition theme "Sleeping Beauty in the Woods: Fashion Awakens."
In Vogue, the 44-year-old TV star revealed behind-the-scenes preparation for her outfit.
Two days before the event, a support team tightly laced the corset onto her. "I don't know how to describe the feeling of being squeezed in," Kim said while inhaling.
The beauty confessed to having difficulty breathing but loved and persevered in wearing the silver brocade corset to make her figure look beautiful.
She paired the dress with gravity-defying plastic heels with no heels to avoid getting caught in the dress.
The designer also designed matching underwear in the same color and pattern to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions.
However, Kim Kardashian's "unhealthy" Met Gala dress has raised concerns among fans about her health and sparked discussions on social media.
Many believed Kanye West's ex-wife's dress was beautiful, but others expressed concern about how her waist looked.
In the comments section, many expressed concern for Kim's health. Some even speculated about the potential harm to her ribs.
A behind-the-scenes video uploaded by Vogue on YouTube reveals the unique shoes she wore under her floor-length silver dress.
The shoe is a see-through platform with a crucial element missing - the heel.
Kardashian explained, "This is my shoe. It's clever because if I had a shoe with a heel, the heel gets stuck in the metal skirt and so that was our issue of walking."
Kardashian said, "I'm going to have to stand on my tippy toes, much like ballerinas do. They probably have a lot of practice - this is our only practice but we'll do it."
Standing at 5ft2, Kardashian added that her team thought she 'really needed the height' from the heels to pull off the outfit.
The video shows Kardashian being helped into the shoes, quickly realizing she 'can't lean back' and would be on her toes 'from here on out'.
In the comments section, many criticized Kim for her 'unhealthy' dress, expressing concerns about its negative impact on her health.
While others couldn't help but admire her for managing to walk in those shoes along the entire length of the Met's carpet.
One person said: A corset that made people think she got her insides rearranged.. a tight metal skirt.. and a heel less shoe. Props to her coz shell do anything for a look.
A second wrote: I actually really like her interpretation of the theme .
While a third commented: Those shoes without heels is truly iconic.
Another added: I respect her commitment to aesthetics.
Someone else said: Her shoes are insane this woman really does like fashion.
