Some people have extreme sports, Kim Kardashian has the Met Gala.

The reality TV star and lifestyle mogul returned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night in another ensemble highlighting her love for a drastic corset.

Kardashian channeled the night's theme, "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," with a custom floral John Galliano creation.

The ensemble featured a couture corset rewoven from an antique silver brocade, which Kardashian covered with a gray cashmere cardigan sweater while walking the red carpet.

Kardashian's sheer skirt, designed with a silver chain to look like lace, was covered with floral motifs cut from mirror fragments, crystal pendants, and pearls.

Kardashian is known for taking extreme measures to pull off her big Met Gala moments.

In 2019, Kardashian wore a custom Thierry Mugler dress that required her to take "corset breathing lessons."

Kardashian revealed on an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" that the dress was so tight that she couldn't go to the bathroom and that she was willing to pee on herself while wearing it.

"I think if it's an emergency, I would pee my pants and then have my sister wipe my leg up," Kardashian said in a clip from the show. "I'm not even joking. She can wipe my leg up."

And in 2022, Kardashian revealed she lost 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe's iconic naked dress for the Met Gala. It was the same gown Monroe wore to sing "Happy Birthday" to President John F. Kennedy.

Kardashian told Vogue at the time that she cut out sugar and carbs from her diet and wore a sauna suit twice a day to fit into the dress. She also spent 14 hours getting her hair bleached blonde to match Monroe's famous locks.

Kardashian only wore the real Bob Mackie dress for a few minutes on the red carpet before switching to a replica.
