Kim Kardashian faced a unique challenge at this year's Met Gala, beyond the constraints of her extreme corset: she had to navigate the star-studded event on her tiptoes.
Two days before the gala, in an exclusive fitting with Vogue, the 43-year-old revealed her unconventional footwear plan—a pair of high heels with no traditional heel under her Maison Margiela dress.

Explaining the strategy behind this innovative choice, Kim shared, 'It's clever because if I had a shoe with a heel, the heel gets stuck in the metal skirt.' This practical consideration was vital for her mobility throughout the evening. Demonstrating her custom clear platform heels, she described the challenge ahead: 'So I'm going to have to put these on, and to wear these, you're on your tiptoes and you're balancing the whole time, flexing your calf muscles.'
Comparing the experience to that of a professional ballerina, Kim acknowledged the skill required, noting that her pre-gala fitting would serve as her 'only practice.' Standing at 5 feet 2 inches, Kim was willing to sacrifice comfort for the desired height to complement her ensemble.

On the night of the gala, Kim impressed onlookers with her slender waist showcased in the silver custom Maison Margiela creation by John Galliano. Despite her stunning appearance landing her on numerous 'Best Dressed' lists, social media reactions expressed concern over her figure, with some speculating about extreme measures she might have taken.

In a behind-the-scenes video shared by Vogue, Kim was seen struggling to breathe in her Met Gala look. Asked about her breathing, she replied, 'It's an art form. But I got it.' Kim's commitment to her appearance has been consistent over the years, as evidenced by her past preparations for the Met Gala, including corset breathing lessons for a Thierry Mugler dress in 2019.
