Kim Kardashian<\/strong><\/a> gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at her 2024 Met Gala<\/a> prep and shared some fascinating insight into the shoes she wore to the event. In a video for Vogue<\/em>,<\/a> which was taken on May 4 and released on Tuesday, May 7, the reality star gave a closer look at her insanely high shoes, which were heelless.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s clever because if I had a shoe with a heel, the heel gets stuck in the metal skirt,\u201d Kim, 43, explained, referring to the silver Margiela by John Galliano dress she wore, which featured a metal skirt fashioned into a leafy design. \u201cSo that was our issue of walking. So I\u2019m going to have to put these on and to wear these you\u2019re on your tiptoes and balancing the whole time, flexing your calf muscles.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the uncomfortable position the shoes forced her to stand in, Kim was ready to embrace the challenge. \u201cI think \u2026 ballerinas do it \u2026 they probably have a lot of practice. This is our only practice,\u201d she pointed out. \u201cBut we\u2019ll do it. I think we really need the height on this look, so we gotta do what we gotta do.\u201d<\/p>\n Kim\u2019s Met Gala look was quite controversial, as the top portion featured a cinched corset<\/a> that was tied extremely tight around her waist. \u201cI feel so snatched, I won\u2019t even be able to communicate to you how snatched I feel,\u201d she told Vogue<\/em>.<\/p>\n One part of the ensemble that confused fans was the pilled sweater that the Skims founder had draped around her shoulders. However, she explained that the addition of the sweater was intentional<\/a> and was part of the vision she had for the event\u2019s \u201cGarden of Time\u201d dress code.<\/p>\n \u201c[I was] imagining having the best night of your entire life with your most magical person and you just are in a garden,\u201d she explained. \u201cYou\u2019ve overslept. You wake up after, like, literally the best night of your life. And I\u2019m just running \u2013 I\u2019m fantasizing this in my head \u2013 I\u2019m running out, my dress is falling off because it\u2019s one of those nights, and I just grab my boyfriend\u2019s sweater to, like, run off and make it to where I have to go.\u201d<\/p>\n For her beauty look, Kim wore her hair in a messy braid that was falling out, which was also purposeful. \u201cIt\u2019s like, you woke up, bedhead,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s [like] Sleeping Beauty, just woke up after the night of my life in this sacred garden.\u201d The Sleeping Beauty reference was due to the official theme of the Met Gala, \u201cSleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe part of my garden fantasy is that this corset<\/a> just stayed on the whole time,\u201d Kim admitted. \u201cBecause it just makes my boobs look so good and my waist. But everything else came off.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
