Kim Kardashian's ever-changing body from 'bum fillers' to drastic 21lbs weight loss

Kim Kardashian is arguably one of the most talked about women on the planet - and she has been for several years now.

The reality TV star, 41, first shot to fame in the early 2000's, and since then, her famous figure has gone through some drastic changes.

In recent months, Kim has shed a whopping 21lbs after dropping 16lbs in just three weeks in order to squeeze into her Met Gala ensemble - Marilyn Monroe's famous gold gold.

Since then, Kim has admitted that she's now at the 'skinniest point of her life' as fans continue to debate her recent weight loss.

Here, we take a look at Kim's changing body throughout the years as her weight and features fluctuated through pregnancies, photoshoots, and major life events.

The early years

For more than a decade, Kim Kardashian has been turning heads with her famous curves at some of the world's biggest events - and all over her social media too.

When she first shot to fame, Kim appeared in the spotlight alongside her best pal, Paris Hilton.

From the get-go, her curves were the topic of conversation as her seemingly natural features and body type was a stark contrast to the then on-trend body type as young girls and women looked up to models including Paris and Kate Moss.

Kim appeared to always embrace her curves, opting for a personal style which consisted of pencil skirts and bodycon dresses to exaggerate her enviable figure.

As her own fame began to grow with her family’s reality series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim eventually landed on a signature look.

She married rapper Kanye West in May 2014, nearly one year after welcoming her first child, daughter North.

Throughout the early years of her relationship with Kanye, Kim appeared to change her style - and with that, her figure fluctuated too as she appeared to draw more attention to her assets and played a particular emphasis on her cinched waist.

When Kim became pregnant with the couple's first daughter North, she was incredibly vocal about how uncomfortable she felt in her own skin after gaining weight.

However, just months after giving birth to North, Kim was already back to her previous body shape after working hard in the gym and sticking to a strict diet.

As Kim's fame began to grow, so did her empire.

After creating her makeup brand KKW and her shapewear empire, SKIMs, the reality TV star started to post more and more pictures of her body online - which garnered both positive and negative reactions.

With more posts came more criticism as fans suspected that Kim was editing and Photoshopping her images to make her look more 'cinched' than she looked in reality.

Her 2019 Met Gala look sparked outrage as her figure seemed 'impossible' to achieve as her waist appeared to be smaller than ever.

Kim hit back at the criticism by admitting that she wore a corset which was so tight she could 'barely breathe'.

The reality TV icon also insisted that leading up to the Met Gala, she heavily restricted her diet in order to look her very best.

The loved-up star, who is currently dating comedian Pete Davidson, has revealed that she's now 'skinnier than ever' after dropping a whopping 21lbs in just under a month.

Kim drastically cut her calories ahead of the 2022 Met Gala in a bid to fit into Marilyn Monroe's iconic 'Happy Birthday Mr President' dress, but even after the prestigious annual event, she continued to drop the pounds by cutting out junk food completely.

The reality star spilled on her lifestyle changes during a recent candid appearance on the Today Show.

Addressing the drama of her Met Gala weight loss on the show, Kim said: "Yeah you know I looked at it like a role.

"I really wanted to wear this dress. It was really important to me.

'It actually taught me a lot about my lifestyle and my health and since then, afterwards, I continued to eat really healthy.

"I am down 21 pounds now. I'm not trying to lose any more weight but I have more energy than ever.

"I cut out so much sugar. A lot of junk food I was eating. I didn't even realise it. A lot of fried foods. And I completely changed my lifestyle," Kim revealed.
