Kylie Jenner is giving new meaning to the age-old phrase "beauty is pain." Following a fun night out at the 2025 Met Gala, the reality star had a bit of a fashion emergency. The 27-year-old realized her feet were stuck inside of her sky-high, black stilettos while she was attempting to take them off.
Jenner documented the footwear faux pas in a video that she later shared with her Instagram followers. The short clip follows the beauty mogul as she preps for the Met Gala and gets all glammed up. For the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme, she rocked a black-and-gray halter dress with a corseted waist and high slit, pairing the sexy frock with sheer gloves and a slicked back hairstyle.
Toward the end of the video, Jenner appears to be sitting on the floor with the camera pointed at her tired tootsies. "Does it hurt?" someone in the background asks. "Max told me to tape my feet into the shoe, and now my feet are stuck in the shoes," Jenner explains, appearing to refer to Ferragamo Creative Director Maximilian Davis, the brains behind her Met Gala look.
As the video progresses, someone in the background expresses disbelief, saying, "Oh my God, that's wild," while spraying liquid on Jenner's feet to loosen them from the grip of the shoes. Suddenly, they start to gain traction and begin to peel Jenner's foot out of one of the shoes slowly but surely.
The reality star's fans got a kick out of the moment and took to the comments section to share their reactions. "I just really need to know what tape you used because it works," one person commented. Jenner replied, saying it was "wig tape." Another user joked, "That tape ain’t ready to clock out yet," while another chimed in, saying, "You looked amazing! Do we need to stay tuned for the next season of the Kardashians to see if you got the shoe off?"
Some Instagram users even learned something new after watching the hilarious moment. “Gluing these types of shoes is genius," one commented. Overall, Jenner's followers enjoyed watching her tackle the stressful moment with humor. "Kylie, I admire your ability to handle situations with such calm and elegance," one wrote.
This isn’t the first time Jenner has had to contend with uncomfortable footwear. Back in 2016, she was left with scratched, bleeding legs due to a very intricate Balmain dress. At the time, she shared her experience, saying, "Max told me to tape my feet into this shoe. And now my feet are stuck in the shoes…Ow!" The people around her used all sorts of sprays and liquids in a bid to get the heels off, but for a while, they simply wouldn’t budge. Thankfully, Kylie later revealed that her crew successfully managed to remove the shoes.
The Met Gala has a long history of showcasing extravagant fashion, and celebrities often push the limits of style and comfort. Jenner’s latest experience is a perfect example of the lengths some stars will go to for the sake of fashion. As fans continue to watch her journey, it’s clear that the beauty mogul is not only about aesthetics but also about authenticity, showcasing the reality behind the glamorous facade.
In recent years, the Met Gala has become a platform for celebrities to make bold statements, not just through their fashion choices but also through the stories they share. Jenner's candidness about her struggles with her footwear resonates with many, as it highlights the often unseen challenges that come with high fashion.
As the 2025 Met Gala fades into memory, Jenner’s humorous take on her fashion mishap serves as a reminder that even the most glamorous events come with their own set of challenges. With her ability to laugh off the situation, she continues to endear herself to fans, proving that behind the glitz and glam, there’s a relatable human experience.
