While walking the red carpet at the 2022 Met Gala, Kim Kardashian wore the iconic Marylin Monroe dress from when the latter legend sang 'Happy Birthday' to the President John F Kennedy in 1962. The Met Gala, what millenials call to be the biggest night of the fashion world, saw some outfits that were goals and others that were simply a no-no. Fans and followers are still talking about Kim's fit as she continues to share visuals from the evening.

A Reddit user shared two side by side images to highlight how Kim Kardashian had edited the image before posting it on her feed. This user shared Kim's edited image from Instagram and the original from Getty Images.

In the Reddit post, fans seem to think 'The Kardashians' star has photoshopped her legs. From her Instagram, it is the one where she is walking up the stairs in her body-hugging dress as her beau Pete Davidson holds her hand and she turns back to pose for the paparazzi.

Some eagle-eyed fans spotted the slight difference in the original and edited images. As Kim climbs up the stairs, a natural curvature in her leg can be seen. That, however, disappeared in the image she posted on her social media. The SKIMS founder can be seen with two straight legs. 

The user who first noticed this titled their post 'My new hobby is looking at what silly stuff Kim edits from the professional event photos for her Instagram' 

A user commented, "The only time Kim has ever made her legs wider". Another said, "Her knees??? I actually think they look better in the Getty image! Also dear god that dress does not fit her UGH". A different user humorously said, 'Yes! Such an iconic dress… with stripper heels'. One gave fashion advice saying, 'She does not look glamorous at all with that coat shoulda worn a dress that actually fit'

The 41-year old mother of four freaked out during her trial session as she could not fit into the dress or zip it up. She went on a strict diet and lost 16 lb in three weeks. However, Kim was slammed for openly speaking about her fad diet and promoting the toxic diet culture. On the other hand, some netizens complimented her for being so dedicated.
