Kim Kardashian's weight-loss comments prove how warped our beauty ideals are

Met Gala is unquestionably the biggest red-carpet event on the fashion calendar, and this year's offering, with its Gilded Glamour theme, was no exception.

Naturally, given that she's one of the most famous women in the world, all eyes were on Kim Kardashian, who wore an iconic Jean-Louis dress previously seen on Marilyn Monroe – and she was incredibly open about the extreme lengths she went to in order to fit into it (given its status as a historic archive piece, it couldn't be altered in any way).

Speaking to Vogue about the strict regimen she adhered to pre-event, Kardashian explained that Monroe's diamond-encrusted dress was the only choice for her. 'It was this or nothing,' she said, adding that she wore 'a sauna suit twice a day, ran on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and all carbs, and just ate the cleanest veggies and protein' for three weeks prior.

In the end, she reportedly wore the dress only for her entrance photos (lasting less than an hour), before changing into a replica.
