Kim hopped straight on her lavish private jet after the event and headed off to the 2024 OMR Festival in Hamburg, Germany.
The festival celebrated digital marketing and Kim gave a business talk.
While on stage, Kim told speakers it’s important to keep her commitments as she had been at the Met just 18 hours before.
“I went from there to the plane,” she told the host, according to People.

“Slept on the plane and here I am.
“It was really good to not go to all the after parties. It’s not really my thing to go out so it was the perfect excuse, because I really wanted to come here,” she continued.
Kim then said she used the Met as a business opportunity.
“It’s an event that you really aspire to get invited to,” she said.

“I’ve always been so into fashion and beauty that I wanted to go and see what everyone would look like and what they were wearing and just to make connections and meet people, which leads to some business ideas and some connections and collaborations.”
“I think it didn’t start off with that intent, I was just happy to be invited and among so many people I loved and respected and as you become friendly with those people and opportunities come about the nature of it could change,” she concluded.
The Kardashian‘s Met Gala look comprised of a silver dress and corset that clung to her curves.
The theme this year was the Garden of Time, which drew inspiration from the exhibition theme, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
Kim’s corset, Maison Margiela Artisanal designed by John Galliano, was heavily cinched at the waist with several metal flowers decorated over the front.
Kim’s floor-length skirt was made of several metal flowers atop a sheer base that covered her bare legs.
COVERED UP?
The Skims founder held a small gray cardigan over her shoulders as she posed for photos.
When she left, Kim was covered by her assistants after she walked out of the lavish A-lister event at the end of the night before she headed to the after-party.
She was escorted into a waiting car, before leaving directly for Germany.
Fans flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to say that Kim was perpetuating an unrealistic body standard.
Met Gala 2024 Theme
The theme of the 2024 Met Gala is The Garden of Time, which draws inspiration from the latest exhibition of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.
“How can she even breathe? Her and her entire family are obsessed with perpetuating unrealistic beauty expectations. They are not empowering or fashion icons,” wrote a fan in response to a video of Kim arriving at the event.
“Where is Miss Kim’s waist?” added another.
“She looks like she’s trying not to faint,” replied a third with a stressed-face emoji.
“I can’t wait for someone interview Kim so I can watch her try to take enough air into her diaphragm to say a sentence,” noted a fourth.
