Another year, another Met Gala hot mess by Kim Kardashian! At least this time it was academically interesting (at least to me) as someone who is currently researching corset wearing and women's relationship with the garment from the 1700s-1900s. Kim is also an excellent example of tight lacing gone "wrong", which has excellent parallels to Victorian writings about corsets and tight lacing. Finally, because I keep seeing this silly critique going around: the sweater + formal gown combo was not unique to Kim, but was actually on the Maison Margiela runway. It's a part of the brand's broader styling choices for that couture collection, even if her story to explain it's appearance was cringey. 🤣

If you wanna see the video about the Met Gala mess of 2022, where Kim wore Marilyn Monroe's dress and destroyed it (and how we really needed to place more blame on Ripley's, Vogue, and even the Met itself than her...as controversial of a take as that was...): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vro6Df57YsQ&t=505s
