Kim Kardashian Lost 16 Lbs To Stuff Her Body In Latest Fashion

Kim Kardashian lost 16 pounds to stuff her body in the latest fashion. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum brought glamour to the Met Gala. The theme for the Monday, May 2, 2022 event was “Gilded Glamour,” which celebrated the theme of excess, fame, and opulence. Some of the celebrities got the memo, while others missed the mark.

Fans didn’t like Kim Kardashian’s idea for the fashion event. As expected, she channeled her inner Marilyn Monroe. The curvaceous reality star slipped into the iconic sparkly dress the actress wore when she sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” to President John F. Kennedy.

KUWTK alum didn’t fit in Marilyn Monroe’s dress

Kim Kardashian and Marilyn Monroe don’t share the same body type. Though both of them are known for their curves, Kim still had to lose weight. Marilyn had to be sewn into the dress when she wore it. Kim lost 16 pounds but still couldn’t walk in the attire.

She needed help from her boyfriend Pete Davidson. Instead of styling her platinum blonde hair in Old Hollywood waves, Kim Kardashian rocked a slick back look. She paired the dress with a white stole. The 41-year-old struggled to climb the stairs of the biggest fashion event of the years.

In an interview with Vogue, she revealed what she had to go through to wear the dress. When she saw it at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! museum last week in Orlando, she knew she had to try it on. Armed guards brought it to the Skims founder while wearing white gloves. Though she didn’t fit into the dress at first, she was up for the challenge.

“I tried it on and it didn’t fit me. I said, ‘Give me three weeks,'” Kim Kardashian told Vogue. I had to lose 16 pounds down today. It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit [into] it. I haven’t had carbs or sugar in about three weeks.”

She joked that she was celebrating with a “pizza and donut party” later that night. Kim was referring to her and her boyfriend. Even if she lost weight, she still struggled with the design. Fans noticed that she could hardly walk in it.

Fans mock Kim Kardashian for “not being able to walk”

Fans noticed that Kim Kardashian didn’t look comfortable at the Met Gala. Some of the fans on Twitter noticed that Pete held onto Kim’s behind with one hand and held her hand with the other while guiding her up the steps. It took her a long time to climb up those steps.

The 28-year-old stuck to a simple black suit with a skinny tie and black sunglasses. The King of Staten Island stuck to their ’60s theme. However, fans were amused with how long they took to walk the red carpet. It could be the reason why they were one of the last to walk it.

• “Pete..you are just gonna have to carry Kim up these stairs. Otherwise, we will be here all evening.”
• “It’s Pete dragging Kim up the steps of the met bc she can’t walk for me!! The GRIP he has on her a**.”
• “He looks so done in that last photo.”
• “Pete is watching Kim’s every step on the stairs like he knows he has one job. Do NOT let her fall.”
• “Pete Davidson painstakingly helping Kim Kardashian up the stairs one step at a time is the #MetGala moment I didn’t know I needed.”

She shared the many photos of herself in the dress on Instagram, which you can check out here. In her post, she expressed her appreciation for being able to wear it. What are your thoughts on Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress? Sound off below in the comment section.
