The most striking highlight of her appearance is her incredibly tiny waist. The public couldn't help but marvel at Kim Kardashian's appearance and her unbelievably small waist.

However, Kim Kardashian's 'unhealthy' Met Gala dress raised concerns about her health.

Many people thought Kanye West's ex-wife's dress was beautiful, but others expressed concerns about how her waist looked.

In the comments section, many expressed concern for Kim's health. Some even speculated about the potential damage to her rib cage. However, some users dismissed these concerns, claiming they were just jealous.

However, behind the scenes, it was revealed that Kim also suffered discomfort from wearing this tightly fitted dress.

To wear this dress, Kim Kardashian had to go through several steps, with the first step being putting on the corset taking over 30 minutes. Kim needed 3 - 4 people to help her dress.

A pair of high heels with a heel height of over 20cm is designed transparently. The most special feature of the shoes is that the heel disappears.

According to Kim Kardashian, she needed a pair of heels without heels so that the skirt wouldn't get caught in the heels every time she moved.

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."

The video segment sparked controversy over Kanye West's ex-wife's unhealthy attire.

While Kim is not afraid to face health risks to achieve an impressive style amidst hundreds of attending artists at the Met Gala, many viewers oppose her and believe she is setting unrealistic beauty standards.

One person said: Honestly props to her for standing in that SHOE because omg no one could go that long balancing on a shoe without a HEEL!!  

A second wrote: Not even kidding when I first saw the look I thought the dress broke and she was covering it with a random cardigan she found among her team but now I get it 

Whie a third commented: Kim’s waist is genuinely crying.

Anther added: The fact that breathing is an art form for her worries me a lot. 

Someone else said: Her livers and kidney be like - not again not again not again. 

Balancing on her tippy toes the whole time is actually insane!! Loved the look!  Another added.
