Kim Kardashian has stunned fans over the years with how she’s able to make her waistline nearly disappear with the use of corsets.

Two of her most famous looks came during appearances at the Met Gala. In 2024, she donned a silver John Galliano for Maison Margiela gown that has some fans wondering if her organs were being crushed.

In a getting ready video Kim did for Vogue, a voice off-camera asked, “How’s your breathing? How’s it going?” as she was tightened into her corset. “It’s … it’s an art form. But I got it,” she replied.

In 2019, Kim’s custom Thierry Mugler dress featured a corset so tight it also made it difficult to breathe. “I have never felt pain like that in my life,” she told the WSJ Magazine for a digital cover story in July 2019.

Painful

Kim’s 2019 Met Gala gown was one of her first major outings in a corset and one of her most memorable looks. “The day that I found out the Met Gala theme was ‘camp’, that same day we called @manfredthierrymugler the King of Camp! We met up in Miami right after the holidays last year and saw the sketches! I learned so much about couture from this genius man, it was beyond couture, it was art!” the aspiring lawyer wrote about her “fresh out of the water” look on Instagram.

“Spun with silk organza and dripping with sparkling crystals, the Mugler number was made to mimic the wet shirtdress that Sophia Loren wore in the 1957 film Boy on a Dolphin. Getting into the waist-whittling look was no small feat. First, Kardashian had to be laced into a corseted bodysuit that was custom-made by Mr. Pearl, widely acknowledged as the world’s foremost corset-maker,” Vogue wrote next to a video of Kim prepping for the Gala.

In it, The Kardashians star was seen wearing the corset and showed how it was so tight she was unable to sit.
