While some people can’t wait to take their bra off at the end of the day,Kim Kardashian Westfeels the opposite — she’s “comfortable and cozy”in her skin-tight shapewear.
The reality star and fashion mogul — who has a new line of shapewear, though thecompany is in need of a new nameafter widespread backlash and accusations of cultural appropriation forthe original name, Kimono— said that she prefers to be “all smoothed” rather than showing her cellulite.
“I’ll never be a person who says it’s a more positive thing if I show my cellulite,”she told theWall Street Journal. “The feeling when I had to wear that corset, [the shapewear] is not that. It’s the second skin that makes me feel comfortable and cozy and all smoothed.”
Kardashian West said that her insecurities over her body started after she gave birth todaughter North, 6,and son Saint, 3, and had gained around 60 lbs.
“It changed my body, my skin,” she said. “[I got] photographed from every angle.”

The mom of four (daughter Chicago, 1, and son Psalm, 2 months, were born via surrogate due to complications from placenta accreta with her first two children) now has such a slim waist that people accused her of removing a rib to fit into hernarrow Thierry Mugler dressfor the2019 Met Gala. Shelater clarified in a behind-the-scenes videothat she wore a taut corset to achieve the look, and confirms to theWSJthat she definitely did not have a rib removed.
“I don’t even know if that’s possible,” she said, explaining that the corset painfully did the trick. “I have never felt pain like that in my life. I’ll have to show you pictures of the aftermath when I took it off — the indentations on my back and my stomach.”
AndAlcantara backed up Kardashian West on the day after the Met Gala, saying that in addition to the corset, she works hard in the gym to get her slim waist.
“To make things clear 1. This dress is corseted BUT 2. Kim trains her ass off 6 days a f— week, she wakes up early af and is dedicated. 3. I paved the road for her but SHE did the work! I love compliments either way,” Alcantara said. “I don’t give a s— about your opinions on her body if you think she 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 of the gym and THAT is commendable!”
