Kardashian encountered similar difficulties on the Costume Institute's red carpet where she was seen carefully shuffling up the stairs, with help from her boyfriend Pete Davidson. According to her agreement with Ripley's, no alterationswere allowed to be made to the dress though she later changed into a replica for the rest of the event.

With Kim Kardashian revealing she lost a stone in a few weeks to fit into her Met Gala dress, Laura Hampson says it's a giant step backwards for the body ...

But when it comes to diet culture and the pressure to be slim to be seen as a whole person? “It was this or nothing,” she told the publication, adding that her extreme routine in the run up to the gala included wearing a sauna suit (a suit that retains sweat, often used by athletes to lose weight before a competition), running on the treadmill and completely cutting out “all sugar and carbs”. “I didn’t starve myself, but I was so strict,” she said. When weight loss and an Instagram-perfect body is so entwined into your core being, of course you’re going to do anything you can to look perfect, to fit into the dress. When I was in my early teens, I remember reading about a fad diet Beyoncé had done to lose 14 pounds before a tour. Speaking to US Vogue, the reality star said she wanted to “cry” when she first tried on the dress and it didn’t fit. Kim Kardashian wants us to know that she lost 16 pounds (just over a stone) to fit into her Met Gala dress.

The sweet spot is in the recovery period, and whilst Kim doesn't say how long she was in her sauna suit for, twice per day seems excessive." "The reason Kim found it 'such a challenge' is because she was going against the needs of her body and silencing its cues for nourishment. Establishing a healthy metabolism for weight loss takes time, proper nourishment, consistency and patience." Fellow registered nutritionist Charlotte Faure Green, who helps stressed bodies and minds regain balance, explains that extreme weight loss is classified as the loss of more than one kg a week for a sustained period.

Kim told Vogue that she went on an extreme diet to fit into the dress after it didn't fit her three weeks before the event.

“The Met and Vogue celebrating putting a museum artifact on Kim Kardashian is a new low,” tweeted former Head Conservator of the Costume Institute at the museum ...

But to choose to put it on a living body over a mannequin within a controlled environment is crazy.” Questions about how Kardashian got hold of the dress are inevitable and, as usual when it comes to celebrities, the answer comes down to who you know. Without her usual red carpet body make-up on, she got dressed in a changing room next to the steps, helped by a specialist conservator wearing white gloves. The most expensive dress ever sold at auction at $4.8m (Monroe paid designer Jean-Louis $1,448 at the time) now belongs to the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum, and it has not been worn by anyone since the president’s 45th birthday.

'But Demna [Gvasalia, Balenciaga’s creative director] and the team were like, "This is a costume gala. I was so nervous to go by myself I almost threw up on the way & I had to pee every second..

During her first year at the splashy, star-studded event she had on a tight floral dress that made the most of her very pregnant belly. Husband Kanye West was in the same designer. Big mistake to bleach the brows but Kanye looked so good this year with those blue eyes! It was originally sketched by Bob Mackie and hand-sewn with 6,000 crystals by costumier Jean Louis. Marilyn was said to have been sewn into the skintight style, and Kim had to lose 16 pounds to fit into it! The California native said that she was not invited but rather was West's plus one.
