KIM Kardashian has dropped 20 or more pounds, showing off her ever-slimming frame at red carpets and in social media snaps.
Fans have repeatedly expressed concern for the star, especially after learning some of her more unconventional methods.
Kim is known for her signature curves – specifically her butt – but as of late she seems to be trying something a little different.
While she’s been documenting her fitness journey for years, she recently kicked things into high-gear and shed some serious weight.
In October 2021, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum made her Saturday Night Live debut wearing a bright pink catsuit.
While her monologue and her sketch appearances generated plenty of buzz, fans couldn’t help but focus on how thin she looked.
She continued slimming down in the months to come, documenting her workouts and diets via her Instagram Stories and more.
In May 2022, Kim hit the red carpet at the Met Gala alongside then-boyfriend Pete Davidson and the rest of her famous family, who were invited for the first time.
She stunned in a gown originally worn by Marilyn Monroe as she sang to John F. Kennedy, but it was how she fit into the dress that set fans tongues wagging.
The SKKN mogul told Vogue that to get the gown on, she had to go on an extreme diet that required her to eliminate many foods from her diet.

She told the magazine: “I tried it on and it didn’t fit me. I said, ‘Give me three weeks.’
“I had to lose 16 pounds down today.”
Kim went on: “It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit [into] it. I haven’t had carbs or sugar in about three weeks.
“We’re having pizza and doughnut party back at the hotel [after the Met Gala].”
Fans were shocked, slamming Kim’s diet as unhealthy.
She has continued slimming down, showing off her new, significantly less curvy figure on social media and at events.
Here’s a look at Kim’s extreme slim down.
KIM’S COMEDIC DEBUT
In October 2021, Kim appeared on SNL for the first time.
She donned a hot pink jumpsuit with matching heels during the appearance, showing off her slim waist as she delivered her monologue.
Several fans noted that Kim looked thin during the appearance.
Even the Hulu star took a jab at her looks, quipping at one point: “I’m so much more than that reference photo that my sisters showed their plastic surgeons.”
KARDASHIANS RED CARPET
In April 2022, Kim stepped out with then-beau Pete, 28, by her side publicly for the first time.
On the red carpet, she wore a skin-tight metallic silver gown with a massive slit up the side.
She accessorized with a similarly-colored neck piece and bracelet.
Fans couldn’t help but notice how tiny the reality star’s waist looked as she posed on the red carpet with her man on her arm.
KIM CHANNELS MARILYN
In May, Kim hit the Met Gala red carpet with Pete.
The entire Kardashian family was present at the fashion event for the first time.
Kim channeled Marilyn, whose gown she wore, debuting blond locks once again.
She wore her lightened hair slicked back in a chic bun and her slimmed down figure on full display in the tan, beaded gown.
The beauty mogul spoke openly about the extremes she had to go to in order to fit in the gown, which shocked fans.
Her waist looked slimmer than ever, with her curves significantly toned down.
Still she took heat for “destroying” the dress as fans noted that her butt was popping out of it.
video shared by TMZ showed Kim Kardashian’s butt popping out of a massive hole in the back.
In the clip, the reality star was joined by her boyfriend Pete Davidson, 28, as they visited Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in Orlando, Florida.
Initially, Kim’s rear end was unable to fit over the dress at all.
In a shocking moment, the crew was forced to leave the back of the gown open to avoid ripping, exposing Kim’s underwear.
At the Met Gala, the SKIMS founder covered the gaping hole with a vintage white coat.
According to sources, the mom of four ended up wearing the original dress on the red carpet but quickly changed into a replica afterward for comfort purposes.
Fans were furious after the new videos emerged, as they took to Reddit to claim that she “destroyed” the timeless outfit.
“This is so infuriating! It’s so delicate that gloves must be worn while handling it but Kim is allowed to destroy it like this? Ok,” one ranted.
“I don’t understand her logic at all. She can’t fit into the dress. She couldn’t even zip it up or get anywhere near zipping it up. She struggled to go up the damned stairs in it, but I guess she is so far up her own a** that she felt she NEEDED to actually wear the dress and have pictures taken in it,” a second complained.
“It was a stupid, stupid choice. All of it, and shame of vogue for having it in their magazine. I’m just stunned so many put her on their best-dressed list. Anyone that does losses any credibility in my eyes.”
A third asked: “What’s the point of wearing it when it gets stretched and destroyed like this?”
KIM GETS SLIMMER
A month after she shocked fans with her diet regimen, Kim appeared on TODAY where she talked diet once again.
During the appearance, she opened up about living a “healthier” lifestyle.
After hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb gushed over Kim’s stunning ensemble at the gala, the model explained the great lengths she took to wear the skin-tight dress, including altering her curvy figure.
“I looked at it like a role, and I really wanted to wear this dress… It was really important to me,” she exclaimed about her significant weight loss.
But the “role” appeared to be life-changing for the mom of four as she said she continued her diet long after exiting the red carpet.
“It actually taught me a lot about my lifestyle and my health, and since then, afterward, I continued to eat really healthy. I mean, I’m down 21 pounds now,” she confessed.
Despite her drastic weight loss, Kim said that she has no plans to drop any more pounds, though she does have a healthier outlook on her eating habits.
“I’m not trying to lose any more weight, but I have more energy than ever. I cut out so much sugar, a lot of junk food I was eating, I didn’t even realize it. A lot of fried foods, and I just completely changed my lifestyle,” she concluded.
BEACH BABE
That same month, Kim shared a series of beach snaps alongside her King of Staten Island star boyfriend.
She captioned the sweet snaps: “beach for 2.”
Fans were loving getting a glimpse at Kim and Pete together, but it was the star’s thin frame they were focused on.
In the pictures, the SKIMS founder posed in a black bikini.
One snap showed her and her New York Native ex standing in the ocean sharing a kiss.
Kim’s thighs appeared thin, and her ribs could be seen in the photo.
A second snap – this time solo – showed the fashion mogul posing with her arms in the air.
Her ribs were even more on display and her waist looked smaller than ever.
She shared similar such snaps, including one of her stepping from the shore into the water.
Fans noted that her curves appeared less pronounced than normal in the photos.
KIM TALKS SKKN
In late June, Kim went on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to discuss her new line.
She brought along two unexpected guests: sons Saint and Psalm.
Kim wore a black catsuit on the show, leaving fans worried about her wellbeing.
The appearance came as she admitted she had lost 21lbs in just over a month.
A brief clip of her appearance was shared on an Instagram fan site, where her followers expressed concern over her wellbeing.
One wrote: “Ok she is tiiiiinnnyyyyyyyy now, this is not normal.”
Another added: “There’s clearly something going on with her, she’s literally skin and bone.”
A third posted: “Kim needs to start eating again seriously.”
BACK IN BLACK
Weeks after the fact, Kim and her family flew to Turks and Caicos to celebrate Khloe Kardashians birthday.
Fans have expressed similar concern over Khloe’s figure, worrying that she’s gotten too thin.
Kim shared a series of snaps from the beach vacation, posing in a tiny black bikini.
Her hips and her waist appeared frighteningly small as she posed alongside her sibling.
Fans noted a massive thigh gap in some of the snaps, suggesting it was a sign Kim had taken her weight loss way too far.
KIM’S TOO SLIM
Earlier this month, Kim stepped out in tight pants and a bra top.
The leather-look was chic, but fans worried that she looked “unwell” and “skinnier than ever.”
The photos were reposted from a wild night out back in June to celebrate her sister Khloe’s 38th birthday.
The famous family celebrated the occasion at matriarch Kris Jenner’s $20million mansion.
Kim reminisced over the outfit on Instagram, adding a caption of a bat emoji.
Fans feared the reality star had taken things too far with her diet and shared their concerns in an online thread.
“Now she’s definitely skinnier than before but not that damn skinny,” one person said.
“To me, she just looks unwell at this point,” a second remarked.
“The weight loss is getting crazy. Since these are old pics too, I wonder how much weight she has actually lost,” a third wondered.
“She got even skinnier??” a fourth asked.
KIM’S CONDITIONING
Not long after sharing those photos, Kim again displayed her thin figure as she hit the gym.
During what looked like an intense workout, Kim flexed her body.
She shared an Instagram Story video of her thin legs in tight black leggings lifting a sizable weight on a leg lift machine.
“Early morning workout,” she captioned her update.
In a second video shared the Kardashians star took things up a notch.
She then lifted the same weight but with just one leg.
“One leg extension,” she wrote as her left thigh lifted the unit alone.
