“I have never felt pain like that in my life,” Kardashian West, 38, told theWSJ Magazinefor a digital cover story.
The custom nude corset was tied so tight on her frame, Kardashian West was left with markings on her body after she peeled the piece off at the end of the night. “I’ll have to show you pictures of the aftermath when I took it off — the indentations on my back and my stomach,” she added.

In abehind-the-scenesVoguevideo, Kardashian West took fans along as she got fitted in her corset and dress two days before the star-studded event.
It took three assistants to strap her into the bodysuit before Kardashian West could slip into her mini dress that was dripping with crystals. Though she looked loved the way she looked in the design, the star revealed moving freely and sitting likely wouldn’t be an option.
“Okay, so Anna, if I don’t sit down for dinner, now you know why. I’ll be walking around mingling, talking, but I cannot hardly sit,” Kardashian West said in the video, addressingVogue‘s editor-in-chiefAnna Wintour. “I can only like, half sit.”
Though her look turned heads on Met Monday, not all of the attention was positive, as some criticized her tiny corseted torso. While some accused Kardashian West of getting her ribs surgically removed in order to achieve such a distinct hourglass shape, the star toldWSJ Magazinethat was definitely not the case.
“I don’t even know if that’s possible,” she said.

“To make things clear 1. This dress is corseted BUT 2. Kim trains her ass off 6 days a f— week, she wakes up early af and is dedicated. 3. I paved the road for her but SHE did the work! I love compliments either way,” Alcantara said. “I don’t give a s— about your opinions on her body if you think she fake or not! I see her every morning, I see her train and I see her sweat and I see all the work she does outside of the gym and THAT is commendable!”
