Kim Kardashian's waist at the 2024 Met Gala, accentuated by a Maison Margiela dress, sparked mixed reactions. While some admired the old Hollywood glamour, others were concerned about the safety and health implications of such extreme waist-cinching. Kardashian, familiar with waist training, faced criticism for potentially promoting harmful beauty standards.
Experts warn that prolonged use of corsets or waist trainers can cause serious health issues, including breathing difficulties, organ compression, and muscle atrophy. While temporary slimming effects are achievable, there are no long-term benefits to waist training. Health professionals recommend achieving a slimmer waist through exercise and a balanced diet instead.
