Oh, the agony of fashion! Kylie Jenner brought the drama to the 2025 Met Gala—”on and off” the red carpet—and this time, the pain wasn’t metaphorical.
Nope. This was a literal case of “beauty is pain,” as Kylie found herself “trapped” in her own designer heels, screaming in pain as her team fought to free her feet.
Let’s set the scene: Kylie stepped onto the carpet in full “Ferragamo fantasy”—a grey bralette and corset combo with a daringly high-slit skirt, sheer opera gloves, and a pair of £700 strappy heels to finish the look. She was the epitome of glam: sculpted, styled, and totally slaying the Met Gala’s “Tailoring Black Style” theme.
Turns out, fashion designer Maximilian Davis had one simple—yet fateful—suggestion: “tape your feet into the shoes.” And that’s exactly what Kylie did. Until the event ended and she realized… she was “stuck.”
On her Instagram Story, Kylie’s glam squad was seen in full rescue mode, “spraying her feet with water” to loosen the tape as the billionaire mogul winced, shrieked, and yelled “Owww!” with every attempt. It was like a couture hostage situation—but with stilettos. And TikTok? Yeah, it “exploded”.
Eventually, her feet were freed, and in true Kylie fashion, she posted a snap of her “bare, polished toes” with the triumphant caption: “They’re okay!!!!” But the moment had already gone viral, solidifying itself as the “scream” heard ‘round the red carpet.
Meanwhile, over on Timothée Chalamet’s Instagram… it was an entirely different energy. Her boyfriend, the ever-elusive “A Complete Unknown” star, was nowhere near the Met.
Instead, he was deep into an NBA playoff rabbit hole, sharing pics of his “boys’ night in”, watching the Celtics, and posting unfiltered captions like “this game is insane” and “sh***ing myself.”
While Kylie was being sprayed down like a Bond girl with foot trauma, Timmy was laid back, hoodie on, feet up, streaming basketball on a tablet like it was any old Monday. Fans took note—and the contrast between them couldn’t have been more glaring.
It’s the new Hollywood dichotomy: one partner glued to fashion week, the other glued to the playoffs.
Still, despite the painful footwear debacle and her Met Gala prince skipping the ball, Kylie managed to snag headlines, hearts, and a new entry in the annals of Met Gala mayhem. Because in 2025, apparently, the fiercest fashion statement is “surviving your shoes”.
