If you thought suffering through a night in heels was tough, wait until you hear what Kim Kardashian endured at the 2024 Met Gala. The queen of style made a show-stopping entrance in a metallic floral Maison Margiela gown that looked like it was plucked straight out of a dream. But while her look was a total success, wearing it was anything but glamorous.
From the start, Kim knew she was in for a challenge. While getting ready, she quipped,
“God bless the Bridgerton cast who dress like this every day. That would be so hard.”
Why Kim Kardashian Almost Collapsed at the Met Gala
Attending the Met Gala is a luxury few can afford, and it’s likely why every guest aims to stun with their looks. But Kim took it to a dangerously uncomfortable level.
The drama began when Kim stepped into the limo to head to the event. Picture this: trapped in a dress so tight you can’t breathe, move, or even think about using the bathroom. Yep, that’s exactly what happened to her.
Kim, who is claustrophobic, panicked as she felt suffocated in the dress. She confessed to her friend LaLa Anthony that she had “never felt so much pain in her life.” At one point, she even felt like she was going to throw up.

Despite the discomfort, Kim powered through the event. But as soon as it was over, her only mission was to get out of the dress ASAP. “I can’t breathe, I can’t get this off, I need to take it off now,” she said on her way back to the hotel.
When she finally freed herself from the corset, her body told the story: deep marks on her skin and even bruises on her back.
