If there's one thing you need to remember when it comes to clothes for events, it should be this — the clothes should fit the person, the person doesn't need to fit in the clothes. Kim Kardashian didn't heed this adage and lost weight to fit into her outfit for this year's Met Gala, something Hollywood star Lili Reinhart took very seriously.

The Riverdale star wasn't too impressed after Kardashian revealed that she had to starve herself in order to fit in her dress.

The annual gala took place on May 2 where the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star wore an iconic Marilyn Monroe dress to the event. Following the Gilded Glamour theme, Kardashian wore Monroe's famous rhinestone dress that she had worn to US President John F. Kennedy's birthday where she infamously sang happy birthday to him.

The day after the gala, Reinhart took to Instagram and slammed Kardashian for confessing that she went as far as starving herself in order to fit into the outfit. “To walk on a red carpet and do an interview where you say how starving you are… because you haven’t eaten carbs in the last month…all to fit in a f–king dress?” the 25-year-old actor wrote on her Instagram stories. “So wrong. So f–ked on 100s of levels," she said. The stories have since then expired.

The TV star did not name the beauty mogul said it is "disgusting" for celebrities to admit to "starving themselves" when many young people idolise them.

“To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of the Met Gala. When you know very well that millions of young men and women are looking up to you and listening to your every word. The ignorance is other-worldly disgusting,” she wrote.

Reinhart's comment came just a day after Kardashian, 41, told Vogue at the Met that she lost around 16 pounds in less than a month in order to "squeeze in" the iconic dress that Monroe wore in 1962. “It was like preparing for a role,” Kardashian had said.

She had shared a video of endless buffet of doughnuts and pizzas and admitted that she was excited to have it all since she was "starving" and hadn't had any carbs or sugar in a month.

For the gala, the Skims founder had shared multiple snaps prior to the event that she was working out twice in a day to slim down.

According to Page Six, Kardashian borrowed Monroe's dress from the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum which acquired the Jean Louis-designed “world’s most expensive dress” for $4.8 million in 2016. As per the publication, the American franchise did not allow Kardashian to make any alterations to the dress itself so to fit in, she altered herself with extreme dieting and exercise.

The KUWTK star has a history of going too far when it comes to fashion. Kardashian had worn a Thierry Mugler dress to the Met Gala in 2019 in which she had taken training for breathing lessons to achieve her tiny waist.

As for Reinhart, she has been open about suffering from body dysmorphia. In 2018, she said, "Feeling really disheartened by the fact that so many people are saying ‘you’re skinny so shut up about embracing your body'. As if my body dysmorphia is irrelevant because of how I look to some people. I’m either not curvy enough or not skinny enough to feel insecure.”

Her statement came after a troll criticised her for being inspired by Monroe's curvy figure because it made the Hustlers star feel like her body would be accepted. She had previously taken to Twitter to shut down many users who had body shamed her for being too skinny or curvy.
