Real reason why Kim Kardashian SKIPPED Met Gala after-parties revealed – as she is seen struggling to breathe in corset ensemble in new video
She skipped the Met Gala after-parties after her tiny waist caused concern online.
Fans were alarmed to see Kim Kardashian at the fashion extravaganza in a corset ensemble that showed off her incredibly slim waist, with one fan asking: “How many ribs have been removed?”
But it didn’t take long for the world to find out why Kim couldn’t attend the after-parties – she already had a scheduled performance in Europe the next day.
Kim, 43, was scheduled to speak at the 2024 OMR Festival in Hamburg, Germany, on May 7 and 8.
“From there I went to the plane,” Kim – who also recently appeared on Tom Brady’s Roast – explained at the festival, according to People. “I slept on the plane and here I am.”
Kim Kardashian had a very good reason to miss the star-studded after-parties: she was scheduled to perform in Europe the next day
She added that partying wasn’t really her thing: ‘It was really good not to go to all the after-parties. It’s not really my thing to go out, so it was the perfect excuse because I really wanted to come here.’
Proving she can really do anything, Kim landed in Hamburg at 3pm on Tuesday after walking the red carpet on Monday evening around 7pm New York time.
Germany is six hours ahead of New York, making her two performances only thirteen hours apart. The flight time from New York to Hamburg is approximately nine hours.
The reality star stunned on the red carpet where she showed off her impossibly slim waist in the silver custom Maison Margiela by John Galliano number.
But she opted not to attend raucous afterparties in the Big Apple and instead hopped straight on her private jet to head to Europe on a red-eye.
She still looked flawless as she arrived at Hamburg airport in front of her adoring fans and even took time to sign autographs after the long flight.
Kim’s Met Gala ensemble sparkled There is widespread concern among social media users – with one person predicting she would be ‘in hospital by the end of the night’, and another asking: ‘How many ribs have been removed?’
Others subscribed to the rib removal theory, as one said, “Did she have a rib removed? Good Lord.’

Another made references the body transformations the SKIMS founder has undergone at previous Met Galas.
They wrote: ‘Kim Kardashian does it again, I wonder how she breathes with that #MetGala’
They seemed to reference one of Kim’s most iconic looks at the gala when she looked impossibly thin to wear Marilyn Monroe’s classic 2022 dress.
Kim struggled to breathe during her 2024 Met Gala look in a Vogue video documenting her preparations for the soiree.
“From there I went to the plane,” she said at the festival, according to People. ‘I slept on the plane and here I am’
The video started with Kim exhaling long and slow as the director asked her, “How’s breathing going?”
‘It’s an art form. But I get it,” Kim replied.
Kim previously revealed she took corset breathing classes to fit into a Thierry Mugler corset dress for the 2019 Met Gala.
She gushed, “I learned so much about couture from this genius man [Thierry Mugler], it went beyond couture, it was art! 7 months making and editing in Montreal, Paris and LA.
