‘It affects my soul when your pictures are too sexy’: Kanye West voices his last-minute disapproval over wife Kim Kardashian’s ‘underwear’-style Met Gala dress on KUWTK
Kanye West‘s concerns about wife Kim Kardashian‘s sexy dress nearly ruined her Met Ball appearance.
Kim, 38, had spent eight months perfecting her Thierry Mugler look for the Costume Institute Gala in New York City, but was left ‘anxiety’ ridden when her husband criticised her appearance at the last minute.
The rare argument between the couple, which took place ahead of the annual costume gala back in May, was revealed on Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
The reality star had long felt like an outsider to the fashion world and her seventh appearance at the ball was especially important to her, as it also marked her first solo US Vogue cover.
However, Kanye made it clear he wasn’t a fan of his wife’s impossibly tight corseted look, which prevented her from sitting down or going to the bathroom.
The 42-year-old rapper frowned at the underwear style of her dress, announcing at her last fitting that it didn’t match with his personal evolution from being a single guy to a married man.
‘I just made this transition from being a rapper, looking at all these girls, looking at my wife,’ he mused. ‘Like, ”Oh, my girl needs to be like the other girls, showing her body off”.’
‘I didn’t realize that that was affecting my soul and my spirit as someone that’s married and loved, and the father of now, what—about to be four kids?,’ Kanye said.
At the time, Kanye and Kim were just days away from becoming parents to their fourth child Psalm, who they welcomed via a surrogate, but the fashion event was so important to Kim that she risked missing the birth.
‘A corset is like a form of underwear,’ Kanye continued. ‘It’s hot. It’s like, it’s hot for who, though?’
‘So the night before the Met, you’re gonna come in here and say that you’re not into a corset bust?’ Kim asked. ‘I’m getting really bad anxiety. What are you talking about?’
‘I don’t need any more negative energy for you to now say that you’re not into me in a tight dress,’ she pointed out.
‘You are my wife, and it affects me when pictures are too sexy,’ Kanye said.
‘You built me up to be this sexy person and confidence and all this stuff,’ Kim adroitly pointed out.
‘And just because you’re on a journey and you’re on a transformation doesn’t mean that I’m in the same spot with you.’
‘All right, cool,’ Kanye said, leaving.
‘That’s absolutely ridiculous,’ Kim muttered.
Over the course of one week, Kim made time for the Met Ball, two dress fittings, two shoots for her cosmetics line KKW Beauty, law-school prep, a baby shower, and a music video appearance with Paris Hilton.
As the episode opened, she discussed Met Ball outfits with her mother Kris Jenner, 63, and sister Khloé Kardashian, 35.
Kris described her look as ‘Elton John-meets-Liberace-meets-Andy Warhol-meets-Studio 54.’
Her girls urged her to ditch her gaudy handbag, with Kim saying, ‘Honestly, if I sent this to Kanye, I think he might have a heart attack.’
‘Don’t send it to Kanye,’ her mother intoned.
‘Thank God we saw these photos, mom,’ Khloé opined.
‘We literally just saved your life,’ Kim added.
She confessed that her fitting later that day felt special because her late father, Robert Kardashian, used to buy her Thierry Mugler’s fragrance, which made her feel connected to the designer.
‘Being able to sit with him is such a full circle dream come true,’ she observed, as a photo of her consulting with Mugler was shown.
‘I had a corset made by Mr. Pearl, the legendary corset maker, because I wanted to completely accentuate my body to make it as campy as possible,’ Kim noted, marveling at her tiny waist.
‘It doesn’t hurt,’ she said of the super tight garment, ‘but it feels like you’re doing a crunch and you can’t get out of it. And then you literally can’t breathe.’
The dress took 20 minutes to get on and needed an assistant to physically lift Kim’s voluptuous derriere into the dress.
Afterwards, she met with her surrogate at the obstetrician’s office, where she heard the baby’s heartbeat and fretted the child might be born while she was away.
‘Khloé’s hoping that this happens while I’m gone, ’cause she just wants the baby,’ she told the woman. ‘She’s like ”I’m so excited!” I’m like, ”No, no, no, this can’t happen”.’
‘It has taken eight months to get our Met look perfected, and I’ve committed to this, so I can’t miss it,’ Kim added in a confessional. ‘I just hope she doesn’t have the baby early.’
With that done, she hosted her own ‘Zen and calming’ baby shower at home, attended by pals like Paris, Chrissy Teigen, model Winnie Harlow, and the singer Sia.
Her guests wrote down their proposed baby names, like Ziggy, Wyld, Boogie and Sugar.
Kim said she’d had the baby shower as way to concretely introduce the idea of Psalm to her other three children, who wouldn’t see a baby growing in her belly.
‘Red Rover, Red Rover, send the new baby over,’ Kim yelled out as she and her friends ran toward a photographer’s camera holding hands.
Kim then gathered everyone at the sound bath station she’d set up in her yard, where performers would bang gongs and bowls until they reverberated, making a calming noise.
Before the guests lay down, she admitted she was ‘freaking the f*** out having a fourth kid.’
‘You said the ‘f’ word!’ a child cried in the distance, as everyone laughed.
‘I thought what better way to celebrate than to have a little CBD,’ Kim continued. ‘We’re gonna do a sound bath. I thought it would just be cool for us to Zen out on a Saturday.’
‘What the hell is happening over in this freaking… oh!’ Khloé said, stumbling on the scene, wine glass in one hand and her one-year-old baby True in the other.
Dozens of women lay on the ground, listening to organizers urge them to ‘shift your focus over to your breath,’ while talking about the soul, cosmos and other dimensions.
‘This is some cult s***, I’m not kidding,’ Khloé told her sister Kylie Jenner, 22. ‘You know, this is scaring me.’
After the shower, Kim’s pal Paris, 38, asked her to be in the music video for her new song, ‘Best Friend’s A**,’ to be shot within the next few days.
Kim despite being busy agreed, saying: ‘It’ll be such a fun tribute to the good old days.’
The reality star explained that she’d never traveled the world until she met Paris, but that they ‘went on so many trips together, from Germany to Australia to Ibiza.’
‘I learned a lot from her, and I’m glad that I had that as an example,’ Kim explained.
Kanye listened to the song and pronounced it ‘fire.’
‘I really would want to do anything for her,’ Kim told Khloé. ‘She literally gave me a career.’
At the shoot, Paris was overjoyed to see Kim, calling her ‘the ultimate’ and noting that ‘the song was inspired by you and your little f***ing a**.’
Paris then complained that her spray tan had turned her hairline orange.
‘Do you know that I never even knew what a spray tan was until I met you?’ Kim asked.
‘Hanging out with Paris is like literally stepping into 2007,’ she said privately. ‘She looks exactly the same.’
With five days to go, Kim flew to New York for the Met Ball, where the theme was Camp: Notes on Fashion, in order to attend her last fitting.
Before she did, she checked out her new Vogue cover, revealing that her six-year-old daughter North thought she looked ‘like a mermaid’.
Kim had wanted a solo US Vogue cover for years, and once thought it unattainable, but Kanye ‘always believed in it.’
Her dress took 500 hours to bead and create, and every piece poked her inside ‘like a cactus,’ she told pal Jonathan Cheban, 45, who accompanied her.
It was so tight that in an emergency, she’d just have to urinate and let her sister wipe her leg, she said.
Kim marveled at how things had changed since the first time she attended with Kanye.
‘I was wearing a floral glove, and they just cropped me out. That’s how badly they didn’t want me there,’ she recalled. ‘And now I’m the cover girl coming on the camp cover.’
She wanted to get it right for Mugler, a perfectionist, and Kanye’s words at the fitting unsettled her.
The next day, tightened into her corset, she felt her nerves rising and thought she had to pee again, until an assistant told her it was all in her head, and everyone said a prayer.
She told a reporter she was getting donuts delivered the next morning, ‘hot and fresh.’
Her sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, 23, wore Versace in a collaboration with designer Donatella Versace, and they goofed around, with Kendall trying on Kylie’s wig.

Momager Kris had fun, too, riding to the event with boyfriend Corey Gamble, 38, designer Tommy Hilfiger, 68, and his wife Dee, 52.
‘Camp is really about dressing like I used to dress back in the ’80s, so for me, it’s kind of easy,’ Kris admitted.
The crowd went crazy for Kim’s look, but the evening took a toll on her body.
‘I think I’m bleeding on the inside, for real,’ she said after the ball. ‘I feel like I’m gonna die.’
She changed into a second look at her hotel, and revealed that she was also helping a recently released prisoner get his tattoos removed by her doctor that week.
Then she thought again about the baby, asking for her nails to be shortened in a manicure so she could wipe her new baby’s bottom.
When it was all over, and they flew home, Kanye said: ‘I had an idea, a vision about the backyard: Sheep.’ ‘Hello, no,’ Kim said.
She and the surrogate again visited the doctor, and learned that the baby was still breech, raising the possibility of a painful aversion, or manual turning, which Kim had with Saint, three.
Kim caught up with Khloé and her sister Kourtney’s ex, Scott Disick, 36, after she returned.
‘I like what Kanye said’ about the Met Ball, Khloé shared. ‘He said, ”It was about my wife, and I wanted her to shine, and I was just there to be her protector and her plus-one”.’
Kim’s doctor called while they chatted, saying they’d have to do an aversion on the surrogate and put her into labor right away so the baby didn’t turn again.
‘The baby’s coming tomorrow,’ Kim sighed. ‘Ready or not, here we come.’
Psalm West would be born May 9 at 7:02 p.m., though the birth wasn’t aired on the latest episode.
While Kim was going through her Met Ball drama, Kourtney Kardashian, 40, discovered someone in her house was stealing from her.
Her iPad had recently gone missing, too, which set off alarm bells in her head.
‘I have people in and out of my house all day, people that I trust,’ Kourtney said. ‘Something just isn’t right.’
It turned out that an unnamed woman had pilfered $700 from her wallet, and $4,500 from Scott’s wallet, and she’d twice been spotted by security with a flashlight in Kourtney’s office.
The woman was downstairs when she got the news, and Khloé suggested they ‘go f*** her up.’
‘She also hacked everything,’ Kourtney revealed, and read her a text she’d been sent, which said: ‘She’s looking at your texts right now.’
‘Stand your ground,’ Khloé implored. ‘This is your home with your kids!’
Kourtney went to confront the woman, but she sped away in her car.
‘What did I tell you about people not f***ing with us anymore?’ Khloé asked her. ‘Now, how many people have stolen? We’re done.’
Her sister immediately ordered her staff to change her iTunes password, ‘debug’ the house, and unconnect every home device from her phone.
‘And next time, we’ve learned a huge lesson,’ Kourtney said. ‘They cannot step foot in here for an interview without us having their social, name and address.’
Kourtney, Kris and Khloé then saged the house ‘to get her bad vibes out.’
