Kim Kardashian rejects criticism of 2022 Met Gala weight loss

The reality TV star walked the famous steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York back in May wearing the crystal-studded gown Marilyn wore when she sang Happy Birthday, Mr. President to President John F. Kennedy in 1962. Kim lost 16 pounds (seven kilograms) in three weeks to fit into the dress as it couldn't be altered due to its fragile nature and while many body image activists criticised her actions, the mother-of-four has now insisted the transformation was no different to an actor losing weight for a film role.
