Kim Kardashian looked snatched & miserable in Maison Margiela at the Met Gala

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian at the 2024 Met Gala. I saw some fashion talk about how she still represents Balenciaga and yet she didn’t wear anything from her friend Demna (the chief designer). Kim stopped repping Balenciaga a few years back, but she does still wear the brand sometimes. This year, she decided not to destroy a significant vintage gown and instead went with a Maison Margiela custom piece by John Galliano. The point of this is to say “Kim’s 19-inch waist is snatched.” Indeed, she probably had surgery to get her waist that tiny, plus there’s obviously an intense corseting situation happening here. All in all though, she just looks uncomfortable. In the videos of Kim walking the carpet, she looked absolutely miserable and like she couldn’t even breathe properly. What women do for fashion, huh?

I also have to wonder if the cardigan was always part of the plan. The way she was clutching it in a particular way, it makes me wonder if something on the dress broke and the cardigan was a quick fix. Her hair also needs a quick fix – she went back to blonde last week and I knew she was doing it for the Met Gala. Congrats, it looks like sh-t. Stop frying your hair!

Bonus Maison Margiela looks: Gwendoline Christie looking absolutely insane, and Bad Bunny looking like The Count of Monte Cristo.

    It’s all about the still photograph with Kim K, in motion she could hardly move or breathe. How is that a good look for brand Maison Margiela? And yes I agree, something must’ve broken up top for her to be clutching that fugly cardi

    • HandforthParish says:

      Yes, it screams last minute stylist saves the day by finding an old cardi from somewhere and suggesting a ‘storyline’ to explain it. If I recall KK described as wild night and borrowing boyfriend’s cardi in the morning… sure, Jan.

    • StillDouchesOfCambridge says:

      It’s so snatched she probably just has back cleavage so the cardigan is to hide that.

      • Lolo86lf says:

        It failed because she still looks like she can hardly breathe, and the cardigan looks like she found it at some grandma’s yard sale.

      • Ariel says:

        I understand that this is a costume party, but I just wonder how soon her daughters will feel they “need” plastic surgery to be beautiful. And I wonder how her millions of young women followers are going to starve and try to rearrange their organs to get this type of “look”.
        I know it’s a costume – but it makes me a little sad.

        As an aside, the first time I typed “followers” I did so carelessly and it came out “dollwhores” and I almost left it.

      • Localady says:

        That’s funny, @ Ariel! I’ve never heard of a dollwhore before. Learn something new on celebitchy every day huh

    • Tarte Au Citron says:

      2nd year in a row, right? Didn’t she have some burst seams on the Marilyn Monroe dress she borrowed last year and that was why she was wearing a stole over her bum?

      And again, her hair looks friggin’ horrible, sorry. Blonde isn’t her colour, that’s a scraggy looking blowdry and those roots?! I don’t even see the dress, I see a very uncomfortable looking woman who just isn’t feeling it tonight.

    • Bad Janet says:

      0/100% chance that cardigan was planned. They literally grabbed that off an assistant at the last second after physics finally won the Kim vs. dress battle. You win some, you lose some, I guess. It completely ruins the look.

      Her hair looks awful. I don’t understand spending that much time and money on your face and body, and then turning your hair into a frizzy mess. It looks like a first timer doing a single process home bleach job. At least it’s a better shade for her than her previous blonde attempts.

      • Matilda says:

        She came up with some lazy ass excuse that the sweater was done on purpose at the last minute as it reminded her of being younger and grabbing her boyfriend’s sweater at the last minute to cover up a dress. Yeah, right!

      • February pisces says:

        The cardigan was definitely on purpose, there are no accidents at the met gala, given how much time and planning goes into it. Which makes the cardigan ensemble even more confusing cos it ruins the dress.

      • February pisces says:

        Upon further inspection she is covering one of her boobs with that ragged cardigan. Also the boob she’s covering look kinda flat. I dunno what she’s doing.

      • Flamingo says:

        I disagree @February pisces accidents happen all the time. And she used a stole last year to cover she popped a seam on Marilyn Monroe’s dress. Which, ugh, I know Ripley’s Museum owns the dress and can do whatever they want with it. But it was still sacrilegious that they let her wear it. Even if it was for only five minutes on the runway.

      • February pisces says:

        @flamingo, whilst wardrobe malfunctions absolutely happen, so much work goes into every little detail, that no one would stroll onto the red carpet with some crappy looking cardigan unless it was a choice. These costumes are conceptual and have to mean something.

        But Kim does look all kinds of wrong and she is covering one of her boobs for dear life so who knows.

      • Flamingo says:

        she’s claiming she grabbed the sweater from a memory of a wild night with her boyfriend in a garden.

        Do I believe it, no. Something happened with the bust. She was holding on to that sweater for dear life for her boobs to stay in place. Besides hardly being able to breathe.

        Just not a winning few days for Kim. On top of being booed the night before at the Tom Brady Roast.

      • Truthiness says:

        So she grabbed her boyfriend’s cardigan? Lmao Kim is such a bad liar.

      • Teddy says:

        It was planned. There’s a Vogue video of her doing a practice run of the look a few days ago. At the end she puts on the cardigan. It also shows her getting laced into the corset, and it’s creepy.

      • Flamingo says:

        @Teddy thanks, well if it was planned it was poorly execucted. The sweater ruined the dress. And if it is going to be a sweater what designer would let he walk the runway in pilled cardigan. Make it fabulous! I just don’t get it.

    • Snoozer says:

      Nope! The cardigan was intentional. The Maison Margiela collection Galliano showed in January this year was full of these cardigans worn with beautiful dresses and skirts – it was a running motif – and all of the models posed in similar ways to Kim.

  2. HandforthParish says:

    Gwendoline went for it and I love it! The hair and makeup is giving me strong vintage Galliano vibes.
    Kim looks exhausting, And what is wrong with her red fingertips? Not a great look with pale claws.

    • seaflower says:

      Gwendoline amazing.

      KK just ridiculous. She couldn’t even walk properly, let alone breath. Ad the cardy looks like it is pilling badly.

      • acha says:

        Poor kim looked so uncomfortable and unhappy. She was mostly giving “i am choking to death”

    • TQ says:

      Gwendoline looks amazing! It’s giving me evil queen/Maleficent vibes. Am here for it.

      • Alarmjaguar says:

        It was definitely one of my favorites of the evening! I loved the color pop and she had presence!

    • Josephine says:

      Kim looks like she never has any fun at these things. I don’t get the point of being so miserable and everything she does is so anti-woman to me. There are so many attendees that are celebrating fashion and playing with art and she shuffles in looking like a zombie and cinching herself within an inch of death for what? The male gaze? I assume most men rather have a woman who can breath and have fun.

      • CherHorowitz says:

        For what? For people to talk about her. Mission accomplished! I also believe that much of what Kim does is actually for the female gaze, rather than the male gaze? She gives a vibe that she’s desperate for woman to be jealous of her, and doesn’t strike me as particularly sexual a person, despite her appearance.

      • kif says:

        I’m of the same mind with @Josephine. Kim has always been about the male gaze – to titillate. It was never about expressing or celebrating the female body/ form or womanhood. A perfect example of this is her nipple bras. What was the point of all that if not to call men’s attention to your breast & supposedly hard nipples simulating arousal (or feeling cold). Everything she regresses the advancement courageous feminists have fought for. Women have a right to show their nipples if they want to – regardless of size, whether it’s drooping or not, if it’s even the same size or on the same level with each other. Selling bras with the fake upthrust, perky nipples feeds into very false & dangerous narrative on what the ideal woman’s body should be. The irony is that I very much agree with @CherHorowitz as well – I don’t think she’s a sexual person at all. I don’t think she’s in touch with her sexuality. She’s very much in touch with greed though. I think she’s just all about the money and she knows sex sells and she does so – very hard.

    • Giddy says:

      Love, love, love Gwendoline! She has the presence and confidence to pull off that look.

      • Alarmjaguar says:

        Exactly (and I should have read down the thread before commenting, b/c you beat me to it) 🙂

    • tealily says:

      Did Gwendoline look insane? Yes. Did I love it? Yes! Yes! Bad Bunny looked great too, I thought.

      Kim with crispy fried blond bedhead clutching her boob? Less so. Yikes.

    • The Hench says:

      Gwendoline is channelling Lady Tottington from Curse of the Were-Rabbit. That hair!

  3. Truthiness says:

    When I saw Gwendolyn Christie having so much fun in her bonkers couture outfit I couldn’t hate a thing about it. She simply “made the outfit.”She’s a good interviewer too, she adds depth.

  4. Elle says:

    I don’t care for the white blonde hair for Kim, I never have, because I think her natural hair color is so striking and beautiful. That being said – if you’re going to bleach your hair that much, find a better deep conditioner. My bleached blonde hair which is several shades darker than this – it’s just golden blonde really, my natural color is an ashy medium to light brown and it’s dull looking – gets dry and I have to use hair masks and deep conditioner to avoid breakage and it looking dry. They put something on it at the salon, too, for moisture. So if my salon here in Kentucky can treat my dry hair, I would think Kim could moisturize hers better given who she is and where she lives. Something nice – her makeup looks great! The dress is meh to me. Make it not sheer and a jewel tone to symbolize flowers/plants like red or green? Or bronze? Or just get a new dress altogether.

    • Nubia says:

      I dont think that’s her hair,she shared pics on insta about a week ago,her hair was short and pinkish. This must be some type of extensions.

      • BeyondTheFringe says:

        Yeah, I came to say the same thing. It looked like she tried to go blonde last week or so, fried the sh*t outta it and then had to get a short chemical cut bob so I was assuming that is extensions or a wig.

      • Scorpio says:

        Dont believe it’s a last minute hair issue. She has been “rocking” that nasty party-city wig for a while. The dress ( sans the sweater) was lovely, but the styling was quite bad and she looked both uncomfortable and high. Sexy in my book is feeling good and confident, Kim needs to take a long break, but you know she won’t.

  5. Cel2495 says:

    Kim couldn’t even breathe and talk when interviewed! lol… she is crazy. Why wear something like that? She couldn’t walk, talk and looked absolutely uncomfortable. The hair is bad too btw.

  6. Lightpurple says:

    Christian Siriano doing commentary on E! Just couldn’t handle that ridiculous cardigan and didn’t hold back. The reactions to her whole look on Twitter were hilarious with the general consensus that she would need medical attention before the end of the night

    Gwen Christie is everything

  7. girl_ninja says:

    That lady really took her guts and a couple of ribs out and threw on a pilling cardigan from Marshall’s. 🥴😂😂😂

  8. Jais says:

    She really looked like she was taking shallow breaths! Sometimes it feels like she’s striving for cartoon or real-life anime. Makes me appreciate all the “unsnatched” waists out there keeping it real.

  9. Cathy says:

    I’m not sure what I want to do first… pass Kim one of those defuzz things to deal with the pills on her cardi or give her a conditioning treatment for her hair?

  10. Lolo86lf says:

    Bad Bunny’s costume looks like a 1930’s unfinished gangster suit. Kim’s wrap does not compliment her tortured dress.

  11. JanetDR says:

    Gwen is a goddess!

  12. Eleonor says:

    Whatever Kim is wearing looks painful AF, but she get the job done: we are talking about her. Sigh.
    Gwendoline looks incredible !

  13. Normandes says:

    Yea some malfunction definitely happened there. No way would she willingly cover up

  14. Chaine says:

    There’s no way that pilled old cardigan is part of the outfit. She looks raggedy and exhausted. The perimenopause is hitting her.

  15. Hannah says:

    Someone needs to tell Kim about Olaplex. With her kind of money, how can her hair look so dry and her skin so dehydrated

    I work on a period drama about a Scottish / North American family set in the 1780’s. I knit these grey shawls that the cast wear. Theirs were for practical purposes. Kim looked like she snatched something out her wardrobe to cover what that extreme corset was doing to her upper back

    • Kitten says:

      I think that messy/teased look was intentional, which make sit even weirder.
      Even with Olaplex, it is not an easy feat to lift dark brown/black to platinum with no residual damage. I get that she likes to change up her look but it’s just not worth destroying your hair over IMO.

  16. Shawna says:

    Christie FTW. It’s perfect. She and Bad Bunny look like they’re a couple going to the same goth ball.

  17. Lisa says:

    I am sorry but this look on Kim is disgusting. She was clearly in pain, you can see it in the still photos, she couldn’t walk, and honestly no one can look like that so this is just sending a dangerous message to young women. It should truly be studied the damage that family has done to young women’s views of body/face image.

    However, the fact that she felt she had to do this for a moment, for relevancy, for some attention honestly breaks my heart for her. Did she remove some ribs? Like this just seems like a cry for help. I am sorry but no one should praise that look, it is disturbing and I am a fashion girly that was not fashion, that was not on theme that was just torture.

    • QuiteContrary says:

      I agree with all of this. It’s a grotesque look.

      Suffering for fashion isn’t supposed to be literal in 2024.

      Also, in a roomful of designers someone couldn’t figure out a better remedy than that cardigan? Even tulle used for decorating would have been a better solution.

    • Shawna says:

      All of this! It’s pathetic.

    • B says:

      It’s so sad to be driven to be a caricature.
      Remember when we were kids hearing that the battle of the sexes had been won?

  18. February pisces says:

    I was watching the live steam and Kim looked so ill when she walked out I couldn’t look at her. She looked in pain and I legit thought she was going to faint. I hoped she changed out of it as soon as she got to the top of the stairs, cos there’s no was she would have made it though the evening without passing out.

    The cardigan ruined the look, I know it was on purpose because there are no accidents at the met gala, plus she did a photoshoot with it.

  19. K says:

    The Kardashians are just absolute trash and always will be. Repulsive.

  20. Rachel says:

    This look was part of Galliano’s couture collection for the Margiela SS24. Galliano designed these with this cashmere sweater. There are videos of her getting out of the van without the sweater and the outfit is fine.
    This is how the sweaters were worn at the couture show and the “used look” is very intentional.

  21. Veronica S. says:

    I thought she looked stupid lol. Like, the dress could be fine, but the cinched corset makes her look disproportionate. The hip to waist ratio is off. She’s clearly miserable and in pain. Nothing sold it as interesting or compelling for that reason. Like damn, woman, just wear something that fits.

  22. UpIn Toronto says:

    Oh, to go from Pam Anderson in her Met red carpet debut with no makeup and comfortable in her skin to…this.

    Kim is the living definition of fake, and well, she looks pretty uncomfortable.

    In a world of Kims and Pam’s, I wannabe a Pam

  23. Mel says:

    Kim was wearing a nice dress and felt compelled to put her Grandma’s childhood sweater on top it . The sweater was pilled and everyone ( who was that chick in the whit dress, never have her comment on fashion again) was trying to act like it was okay except Christian. She also looked like the poster child for eating disorders with that waistline. They all need to go away, far, far away.

  24. Raster says:

    Kim’s theme in my head looks like leaving a dude’s house the morning after hooking with a random, wearing the fit from the night before with just-woken-up hair and grabbing a kid’s sweater on the way out because the morning air was chilly while walking out the house to meet an uber.

  25. JFerber says:

    I’m living for Gwendolyn Christie! Yes, yes, yes.
