Kim Kardashian has always been known for experimenting with more extreme fashion looks, and this time, she has the internet buzzing about it.
The reality star recently posted photos of herself posing in a super tight, waist-cinching bodysuit for a photoshoot. The suit squeezed her waist and made it look tinier than ever, immediately grabbing the internet’s attention, as it looked as though she had transformed her body into a seemingly impossible shape. While her post included a lot of fashion and glamour, her comments section was filled with critical fans who felt she was promoting “unrealistic” beauty standards.

Kim Kardashian Poses In A Waist-Cinching Bodysuit For New Instagram Photos
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians icon has been known to contort her body to fit into particular looks and outfits, more notably the time she lost over 10 pounds in order to fit into a dress that Marilyn Monroe wore for the 2022 Met Gala. This time, she put on a sheer bodysuit for the fashion brand Mugler, which she wore for a chic photoshoot.
"Muler magic," she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post, which contained several pictures of her in the sheer and tight bodysuit.
The suit was completely sheer with a few strips of glittery black material running down her curvy figure. It also connected to sheer stockings, which had a similar look to them. For the official shoot, the dramatic look was completed with a large, black fur coat, which she wore off her shoulders. Kim kept her lengthy, black hair tied up in a messy bun and had on minimal makeup, letting the outfit do all the talking.
The Internet Calls Out Kim For Promoting 'Unrealistic' Beauty Standards In Her New Post
While the AHS actress's look was quite chic, the most attention-grabbing part of it was what it did to her waist. The sheer bodysuit acted like a corset, and hugged her waist so intensely that it seemingly shrank and was super cinched.
It was a similar situation to what she's done for past fashion events, cinching her waist so tight for dramatic looks. Even if her waist doesn't look like that 24/7, fans and other internet users were still shocked by the photos and felt that it was wrong of her to post pictures of her waist looking so small, because it could be an impressionable image on younger women and promote an unrealistic body type, they flooded the comments section of her post with criticism, writing that the post was low-key problematic.
"Can you breathe?" asked an Instagram user.
"Built like a Tim Burton character," wrote another.
One Instagram user wrote that the look was "actually insane," and another said that it was "an unrealistic beauty standard."
Another user wrote that Kim's look "was not a good message to young women around the world."
The mom-of-four has yet to acknowledge the backlash her tiny waist is getting online, but for now, it seems that many internet users are ready for her to give up the "unrealistic" look.
