Kim Kardashian has once again come under fire for setting unrealistic body standards, just a few days after causing a stir with her Met Gala red carpet look.
If you’ll recall, the 43-year-old Skims founder was slammed for her Met Gala look, as she wore a seemingly rib-crushing corset with her metallic Margiela by John Galliano dress to make her waist look impossibly thin.
One X user wrote at the time, “Unrealistic body expectations,” while another asked: “Why in the world would anyone think this looks good? She can’t even walk or breathe in it. Can we have normal beauty standards please?” A third messaged Kim directly, and said: “I wish you would understand the horrible precedent you set for women and girls in society. Truly, beauty standards are so warped because of the ‘aesthetic’ you continually portray with your distorted figure and facial fillers.”

Kim Kardashian's Controversial Margiela Look
Just a few days later, she modeled another controversial look; and it seemed to cause an even bigger stir online!
On Wednesday, May 8th, the mom-of-four shared a carousel of pictures with her 363M Instagram followers showing the steps she took to get into another controversial Margiela look. The look essentially consists of a nude turtleneck catsuit, with a leather corset worn on top to cinch Kim's waist.
Kim captioned her post: "Margiela Broken Doll." The head-scratching outfit was worn with over-the-knee socks, which were made to resemble skinned knees, and gloves to seemingly resemble black fingers. She finished the look off with black platform heels and a hat.
The comments section was predictably filled with people calling her out for setting "unrealistic" body standards once again with the impossibly tiny waist, while many others thought the whole look was "out of touch" and "disturbing."
Internet Reactions
"Looks like abuse and it's disturbing," one of her many followers wrote in the comments section, as another unimpressed Instagram user wrote: "Kimmy it's giving… lost organs." "She is looking like her spleen is touching her gallbladder. Why Kim?" asked another, while someone else asked: "How many ribs did you have removed… asking for a friend?"
"The end of the Kardashians is here," slammed another follower, as someone else said: "These people just get stranger and stranger." "This is a horrible message to send to your daughters and other young women. It's not healthy," wrote another fan. Another deemed the whole thing "disturbing," and another said it was "horrendous," while someone else pointed out how "unrealistic" her body shape was. "Ok this is getting ridiculous," criticized another follower.
"Literally, your worst look ever," wrote another fan, as another concurred, writing: "Not attractive at all. I don't understand why you want to look like that." Another disapproving fan added: "These corsets look awful. And the message it's sending women is messed up."
