To achieve the look of a super snatched waist in her Thierry Mugler dress at the 2019 Met Gala, themed “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” Kim wore a constricting corset by Mr Pearl that made it difficult for her to move. Despite taking “breathing lessons” from the designer to ensure that she can breathe while wearing the undergarment, the ultra-cinched ensemble restricted her from sitting, forcing Kim to, um, opt out of using the bathroom once she had it on.
“If it’s an emergency, I think I pee my pants and then have my sister wipe my leg up,” she said while preparing for the event, as shown on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “I’m not even joking. She can wipe my leg up.”
Kim also said the beads on her gown, which hung off the fabric to make it look like she had just climbed out of the ocean, poked her from the inside. She quipped, “It’s a cactus.”
