Kim Kardashian criticised after acknowledging she “lost 16lbs” to fit into Marilyn Monroe Met Gala dress
The famous ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’ reality TV star has been criticised for ‘promoting unhealthy body standards’ as she discloses she went on a crash diet to fall weight, in order to comfortably wear her Met Gala dress.
The CEO of Skims has come under fire for ‘promoting extremely unhealthy body standards’ as she confessed she went on to do a crash diet and lost 16lbs because of the dress she wore at the Met Gala.
At the yearly prestigious occasion on Monday, May 2, 2022. Kim 41, donned an iconic gown, which was seen on the body of Marilyn Monroe to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy back in the year 1962
While many fans have separate views on whether Kim did the dress justice, other fans have criticised Kim following her opinions about losing weight to fit into the thin dress.
The Reality star
found it difficult to get her hands on the exclusive dress – her team having taken numerous trips to Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museums and having to employ additional security for the expensive dress.
Nonetheless, it was alarming for fans when SKIMS CEO, told BFF and Vogue guest host La La Anthony, that she relinquished a whooping 16 pounds in just three weeks so she could comfortably wear the gown.
“It was like preparing for a role,” Kim who bleached her hair platinum blonde and paired the dress with a white fur shrug, said of her tribute to Marilyn.
Kim said she believed she would fit into Marilyn’s dress as ‘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.’
Farther talking about how she lost weight, Kim clarified:
‘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.’
This did not seat well with some fans who criticised the reality star for prompting unhealthy weight loss on social media.
Below are some of the tweets:
“I’m gonna say it and no one can change my mind: f***k kim kardashian for deciding she NEEDED to wear a historical dress & then publicizing her extremely unhealthy weight loss to achieve that.”
“the kardashians are already responsible for so many unhealthy beauty standards.”
