Kylie Jenner walked away from the Met Gala with one fashion lesson: taping her feet into her heels wasn’t the brightest idea.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder attended the event on Monday (May 5) dressed head-to-toe in Ferragamo.
Later in the evening, she tried to take off her black pumps—only to realize that the fashion hack she’d followed turned out to be quite painful.
Kylie shared an Instagram video of her glam squad trying to remove her heels.

“Max told me to tape my feet into the shoe,” the 27-year-old said, referring to Ferragamo creative director Maximilian Davis. “And now my feet are stuck in the shoes.”
To loosen up the grip of the tape, Kylie’s team sprayed her feet with a clear liquid, but it still hurt the reality star.
Moments later, she updated her followers by sharing a photo of her bare feet and writing, “They’re okay!!!!”

The mom of two accessorized her gray and black dress with Lorraine Schwartz earrings and long see-through gloves that matched the sheer fabric of her midriff.
This isn’t Kylie’s first uncomfortable fashion choice at theMet Gala. In her first appearance in 2016, the fabric of her long, metallic Balmain gown scratched her legs.
“When your dress made you bleed and your feet are purple,”she captioned the photo, shared on Snapchat.
However, the Khy founder had no regrets, as she clarified in a subsequent post, “It was worth it though.”

Her older sister, Kim Kardashian, famouslywore an extremely tight corset at the 2024 Met Gala, which was part of an ensemble by John Galliano.
On her Hulu reality show, she revealed that she “couldn’t breathe” in the look and had “never been in so much pain before,” to the point where she felt like she was “going to throw up.”
Kim even considered leaving the prestigious gala early to change at her hotel, but changed her mind when host Anna Wintour asked her to sit at her table while she greeted guests.

After the gala was over, she filmed how her lower back had turned purple with visible marks left by the corset.
When a producer asked her off-camera if the pain was worth it, she replied, “Abso-f**ing-lutely.”
“That’s just who I am,” she added. “If you look good, it’s all worth it.”
But it’s not just the Kardashian-Jenner family who prioritizes fashion over comfort at the Met. White Tiger actress Priyanka Chopra shared that she “couldn’t breathe” at the 2018Met Gala.

“My second Met Gala outfit was this blood-red Ralph Lauren beautiful outfit with the gold hood. But the corset under that thing, I couldn’t breathe,”she shared.
“I felt like it reshaped my ribs. So hard to sit during dinner and I obviously couldn’t eat too much during that night.”
Taking to Instagram,Kylie shared photos from her fittings with Ferragamo as well as backstage photos of herself getting ready for the star-studded event.

As she and her boyfriend of two years, Timothée Chalamet, recently attended the Oscars and Golden Globes together, many people were expecting to see the couple at fashion’s biggest night.
