Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing.
I was excited to wear it, not a wink of me was nervous.
I wasn’t before, during, or even now after.
I’m very grateful that I grew up in a household with very strong, powerful, curvy women.
We were raised to find power in the creases of our body.
To be loud about being comfortable.
I wore that dress because I know.
Life will get a whole lot easier, I promise.

Peter [Dundas, the designer] has been a close friend since we attended theMet Galain 2021.
He knows me well, and he gets and knows the woman’s body.
It’s a process of getting ready for the red carpet.
I pay attention to every detail.

I thought I had been invited to such an illustrious event because I am good at my job.
Putting clothes on is such a small part of my day.
They may as well have been criticizing me for brushing my teeth differently to them.”
Why does it matter so much what I was wearing?
Why did no one ask my husband where he got his suit from?
I felt wonderful in that dress.
And surely that’s all that counts.
With the added fun of answering the red-carpet question, ‘Where did you get your dress?’
with ‘Oh, it’s just last year’s, pet,'” she said.

Many people includingLili Reinhart criticized Kim for crash dieting so she could lose weight and fit into the dress.
On herInstagram story, Lili said, “So wrong.
So fucked on 100s of levels.
To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of the Met Gala.
The ignorance is other-worldly and disgusting.
just stop supporting these stupid, harmful celebrities whose entire image revolves around their bodies.”
It is not sustainable at all and should NEVER be the goal or attempted by an individual.
It perpetuates the narrative that thinner is ‘better.’
Even Renee Zellweger gained weight for a role.
It’s all the same to me.
THE CRITICISM PT.
