However, many condemned Kardashian’s rapid weight loss as unhealthy and raised concern about the impact it will have on her enormous following.

kim k losing 16 pounds in 3 weeks to fit into her met gala dress (for literally 10 minutes,,) is the unnecessary diet culture-y bullshit of my nightmares

losing 16 lbs in three weeks isn’t commitment to fashion; it’s disordered eating

— Madalaina D'Angelo (@madalainaD) May 3, 2022

this take is gross, stop sensationalizing eating disorders and starve diets. losing 16 lbs in 3 weeks is not a healthy message for women or young girls, and to top it off the assignment was the gilded age. y’all are killing me.

Other individuals labelled Kardashian’s choice to wear Monroe’s dress as disrespectful.

Kim K wearing Marilyn Monroe’s dress is so disrespectful and disgusting why can’t they let that poor woman rest in peace

Yep. The magic of MM was that she was confident in her body;she had sex appeal & was adored even tho she wasn’t the standard ‘size 0’, had lovely lady lumps. Seeing Kim K wear it, w. her fake ass & boobs, cheapens the magic of Marilyn’s legacy as a woman & the dress itself. https://t.co/mQr5XXJLPN

Kardashian also faced reproval for misrepresenting the year’s ‘Gilded Glamour’ theme.

I’d love to tweet about how Kim k’s lack of period appropriate undergarments made that $5M dress look like forever 21 but instead I’m spiraling about the fact that roe v wade is being overturned and millions of Americans are going to be forced to give birth to unwanted fetuses!!

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
