A high-profile attendee of this year’s Met Gala faced an unexpectedly painful conclusion to the evening, revealing that a styling trick meant to ensure elegance left her literally stuck in her shoes.
The celebrity, known for her beauty empire, shared a series of urgent updates via social media after the event. Videos showed her in visible distress as members of her team attempted to free her feet from a pair of custom stiletto heels. The issue stemmed from an adhesive tape, reportedly suggested by the footwear’s designer to secure the shoes, which ultimately bonded too firmly to her skin.
“He told me to tape my feet into the shoe!” she could be heard exclaiming in the footage, while others tried spraying water to dissolve the adhesive. The dramatic scene contrasted sharply with her earlier, flawless appearance on the event’s signature carpet.
The star later provided a relieved update to followers, showing her unharmed feet and confirming the ordeal was over. The risky method was apparently employed to navigate the gala’s famous staircase with stability while wearing the intricate, form-fitting black ensemble that was a highlight of her look for the night.
While she attended the prestigious event without her actor partner, who was documented elsewhere enjoying a basketball game, she was joined by her famous sisters. The gala itself, chaired by several major figures in music, sports, and film, celebrated a theme focused on the sophistication and historical significance of Black tailoring and style.
In a subsequent social media post, the star expressed gratitude to the designer for his vision, sharing professional photos from the night that captured the couture look before the painful post-gala incident.
