Kim Kardashian marked elegance in a 60-year-old dress originally worn by the iconic Marilyn Monroe, at the Met Gala 2022. However, to fit into it, the star influencer was asked to lose 7kgs to be able to get into the outfit. Which she managed to lose in just 3 weeks, but triggered netizens all around the world for setting unhealthy body standards.
Kim said, “It was such a challenge. It was like a role. I was determined to fit,” She added, “I always thought she was extremely curvy. I imagined I might be smaller in some places where she was bigger and bigger in places where she was smaller. So when it didn’t fit me, I wanted to cry because it can’t be altered at all,” as stated in India Times.
She further said, “I would wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and all carbs, and just eat the cleanest veggies and protein. I didn’t starve myself, but I was so strict.” When it finally fit, she explained, “I wanted to cry tears of joy.”
However, this didn’t really go well with the netizens, and they called out Kim for promoting unhealthy body standards, on Twitter. One wrote, “All those dunking on @KimKardashian for her weight loss to fit into the Marilyn Monroe dress were you the same people praising Matthew McConaughey for his 50 pound weight loss for Dallas Buyers Club? Or Christian Bale for Batman and Machinist?”
Another stated, “The fact that @KimKardashian, knowing the mass influence she has on humans around the world, would publicly announce, and “essentially encourage” rapid and dramatic weight loss for a “look”, is incredibly disappointing, extremely problematic, and ultimately really sad”
