If you thought Kim Kardashian's waist was cinched-in on the 2019 Met Gala red carpet, wait until you see her super cinched-in waist in her latest Instagram video.
On Tuesday (June 23), the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shared a never-before-seen video of herself from a "special trip" she took to London last year to visit Mister Pearl — the legendary French couturier who constructed her iconic Met Gala corset — after the piece he originally created for her went missing hours after she wore it on the red carpet.
"Just found this in my phone from my special trip to London last year to meet w Mr. Pearl. I wore a corset like this for the Met Ball for my @manfredthierrymugler Camp look but the corset was misplaced that night 🤦🏻♀️ and I want it so badly preserved for my archive that I flew to London to have another made for the archive," Kim captioned a video of herself showing off her unbelievably tiny waist in the reconstructed corset.
The 39-year-old business mogul went on to tease that she also visited Mr. Pearl to start working on looks for her upcoming 40th birthday on October 21. "We also might have started making a few more looks including my special 40th bday look," Kim added. "Can’t wait to show you the LOOKSSSS we’ve been cooking up ✨."
Last year, Kim wore a custom-made “dripping wet” Thierry Mugler dress to the 2019 Met Gala. While the dress and Kim's insane curves, which were put on display in the dress, were praised, Kim later told WSJ that she was incredibly uncomfortable.
“I have never felt pain like that in my life,” she shared. “I’ll have to show you pictures of the aftermath when I took it off — the indentations on my back and my stomach."
In a behind-the-scenes Vogue video, Kim also admitted that it took three assistants to squeeze into the corset and bodysuit before she could even put on her dress.
