Kim Kardashian shows off her incredibly tiny waist in stunning corset throwback

KIM Kardashian showed off her incredibly tiny waist in a stunning corset throwback on Saturday.

Reality star Kim, 44, looked sensational in the jaw-dropping snap, which featured as part of a 2024 photo dump to mark the New Year.

In the image, the fashion mogul posed with her hands behind her head after squeezing into the sheer undergarment.

Fashion designer John Galliano appeared to the side of the shot, with just half his face showing, as he gazed away from the camera.

The photo seemed to have been taken during a fitting for the Met Gala, where Kim notably showcased her almost impossibly tiny waist.

The famously curvy star wore a corseted silver gown to the star-studded annual New York event.

In the custom Margiela by John Galliano look, Kim kept to the Garden Of Time red carpet theme with the outfit covered in silver metal lace, flowers, and floral motifs.

Other shots from Kim's latest Instagram post saw her enjoy quality time with her family, including her cousin Cici Bussey, 60, mum Kris Jenner, 69, and children North, 11, Saint, nine, Psalm, five, and Chicago, seven.

At the time of the event, Kim's fans were left worried that she'd had “ribs removed” and questioned “where her guts are stored”.

Plastic surgeons even warned against the dangers of prolonged and over-tight corset wearing.

Reza Nasaab, founder for CLNQ, said: “Wearing corsets for extended periods can lead to a range of health issues, including restricted breathing, digestive problems and even damage to internal organs.

“Contrary to popular belief, organs do not shift permanently when wearing a corset.

“Instead, the soft tissues are temporarily displaced, and the organs are compressed to some degree.

“It's crucial to approach extreme body shaping practices with caution and prioritise health and well-being over achieving a certain aesthetic.

“Surgery to achieve extreme body shapes also carries risks such as infection, scarring, and long-term health implications.”

Kim is rumoured to have gotten a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) a number of years ago to enhance her hourglass figure.

A BBL is the deadliest surgery around, with more than one death occurring per 4,000 procedures.

It involves plastic surgeons using liposuction to remove fat from other areas of the body and re-injecting it into the thighs and bum. 

Despite the rumours and fan speculation, Kim has never publicly acknowledged having such a procedure done.

One doc explained surgery alone couldn't have achieved Kim's body shape on for the gala.

The look left hundreds of fans were questioning where her organs and “guts” moved to while in the tight ensemble. 

DOC'S WARNING

“When a corset is worn, the tummy contents get pushed up into the chest where the lungs normally take up space," Naveen Cavale at Real Plastic Surgery said. 

"So, breathing can be restricted.

“The lungs are used to a set amount of space to expand and contract in, and they tend not to like the sudden change. 

“We see this same thing when we fix big hernias in the abdomen. 

“Suddenly pushing all the guts back to where they should be can put a sudden strain on the breathing, so we have to be careful. 

“I have even had a patient go into cardiac arrest, when we were fixing a big hernia.”

LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF CORSETS

Naveen warned that the long-term effects of wearing tight corsets include rib deformities, restricted breathing and weakened core muscles.

“Prolonged compression can also lead to organ displacement and digestive issues too,” he said.

“Frequent use may alter spinal alignment and posture contributing to back pain. 

“Opting for properly fitted corsets can mitigate risks, but I'd still recommend keeping using these for a one-off occasion.

“I'd always recommend prioritising comfort and health over aesthetic trends.”
