Did Kim Kardashian Have Ribs Removed for Met Gala? Her Personal Trainer Comes to Her Defense

The 2019 Met Gala which went down last night certainly did not disappoint for fans watching the red carpet at home. Although the star-studded annual event did not bring out the likes of fan-favorites Rihanna or Beyoncé, we did see the Kardashians, Lady Gaga, Cardi B and more in impressive looks.

This year's theme, "Camp: Notes on Fashion," was demonstrated in many different ways, with Kim wearing a custom-made Thierry Mugler dress which took eight months to create. "He envisioned me this California girl stepping out of the ocean, wet, dripping," the reality star told Vogue on the red carpet. But as gorgeous as Kim looked, fans started questioning her seemingly nonexistent waist.

Did Kim Kardashian Have Ribs Removed?

Fans on social media started speculating that Kim literally had ribs removed for her Met Gala look, as her body looked super exaggerated. Look below and judge for yourself.

Many took to Twitter to discuss the possibility, with most certain Kim had to have had ribs removed.

While we're not sure exactly which comments about her look Kim saw, her personal trainer Melissa Alcantara was quick to defend the businesswoman on social.

"To make things clear. 1. This dress is corseted BUT 2. Kim trains her ass off 6 days a f--king week, she wakes up early AF and is dedicated," Melissa wrote on Instagram, according to E! News. "3. I paved the road for her but SHE did the work! MOST IMPORTANTLY I don't give s--t about your opinions on her body, if you think [it's] fake or not! I see her every morning, I see her train and I see her sweat and I see all the work she does outside the gym and THAT is commendable!"

As dedicated as Kim is to perfecting her physical appearance, we're pretty certain she wouldn't go as far as to remove her own ribs. Especially since she's also very dedicated to working out. Fortunately for the star, we're sure she won't take the criticism to heart.
