Kim Kardashian particularly skipped on the Met Gala afterparties after her tiny waist caused concern online.
The reality star, 43, was absent from the festivities after her super slim waist caught the attention of fans, with one asking online: 'How many ribs have been removed?'
Vogue then shared a video of Kim struggling to breathe as she prepared for fashion's biggest night.
The video started with Kim exhaling long and slow as the director asked her, “How's breathing going?”
'It's an art form. But I get it,” Kim replied.
But ultimately, it wasn't Kim's outfit that kept her from attending the after-parties — the reality star missed the late night celebrations because partying has never really been her “thing.”
Kim Kardashian skipped the Met Gala after-parties because partying was never really her “thing.”
After the fashion festival, Kim traveled straight to Europe, where she was scheduled to speak at the OMR Festival 2024 in Hamburg, Germany on May 7 and 8.
“From there I went to the plane,” says Kim – who too recently appeared on Tom Brady's roast – explained at the festival, according to People. “I slept on the plane and here I am.”
She added that partying wasn't really her thing: 'It was really good not to go to all the after-parties. It's not really my thing to go out, so it was the perfect excuse because I really wanted to come here.'
Proving she can really do anything, Kim landed in Hamburg at 3pm on Tuesday after walking the red carpet on Monday evening around 7pm New York time.
Germany is six hours ahead of New York, making her two performances only thirteen hours apart. The flight time from New York to Hamburg is approximately nine hours.
The reality star dazzled on the red carpet where she showed off her impossibly slim waist in the silver custom Maison Margiela by John Galliano number.
But she opted not to attend raucous afterparties in the Big Apple and instead hopped straight on her private jet to head to Europe on a red-eye.
She still looked flawless as she arrived at Hamburg airport in front of her adoring fans and even took time to sign autographs after the long flight.
Kim's Met Gala ensemble sparkled There is widespread concern among social media users – with one person predicting she would be 'in hospital by the end of the night', and another asking: 'How many ribs have been removed?'
Others subscribed to the rib removal theory, as one said, “Did she have a rib removed? Good Lord.'

Another made references the body transformations the SKIMS founder has undergone at previous Met Galas.
They wrote: 'Kim Kardashian does it again, I wonder how she breathes with that #MetGala'
They seemed to reference one of Kim's most iconic looks at the gala when she looked impossibly thin to wear Marilyn Monroe's classic 2022 dress.

Kim previously revealed she took corset breathing classes to fit into a Thierry Mugler corset dress for the 2019 Met Gala.
She gushed, “I learned so much about couture from this genius man [Thierry Mugler], it went beyond couture, it was art! 7 months making and editing in Montreal, Paris and LA.
