Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala Dress, Photoshop Edition Claim Kim Kardashian's 2019 Met Gala dress bore an unflattering resemblance to a rectum. Rating Not True Like this fact check? Reporting Kim Kardashian West’s ensemble for the May 6 2019 Met Gala ball in New York made headlines for its film-inspired wet look, ruching, and extreme corseting, drawing the attention of fashion reporters and blogs even amid the campiness of the event’s other pageantry. Two days after Kardashian’s Thierry Mugler dress drew media attention, memes hinted that the bottom of the dress was not very flattering and resembled an undesirable body part. A Facebook post boasting more than 100,000 shares (archived here ) featured a photograph of Kardashian’s purported complete ensemble. That post featured a screenshot of a May 7 2019 tweet by @rpinkprincess, which was also shared thousands of times: Why does Kims dress look like a booty hole pic.twitter.com/4dd2AD47UD — MARCELLA🌸 (@rpinkprincess) May 7, 2019 The image centered on the bottom half of the Mugler frock, which was gathered to enhance the impression the dress was wet. Interestingly, subsequent Facebook posts made the same claims, but featured an entirely different and dissonant dress image: Editing was quite obvious in shares of the doctored dress. As the second Facebook post demonstrated, Kardashian’s original ensemble looked nothing like the doctored booty hole image that had garnered so many shares: I do really think Kim Kardashian’s wet look Mugler is clever. #MetGala pic.twitter.com/suGl6d2tSZ Florida is where wokes go to die...

The ruching on the bottom of the dress culminated in a hem and a row of buttons, not the suggestive sphincterish shadow seen in the doctored versions.
