Kim Kardashian's Nip-Slip Near-Miss

At a $50 million wedding where every detail was dripping in diamonds and decadence, Kim Kardashian still managed to steal the show — and not exactly for the reasons she might have hoped.

The SKIMS mogul, 44, turned heads and lit up the internet after slipping into a barely-there corset that came dangerously close to a full-on wardrobe disaster. With her breasts nearly spilling out on camera, Kim's look at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's opulent Venice wedding pushed the boundaries of couture — and public patience.

'When in Venice, You Forget You're Not a Stripper'

Kim kicked off the festivities in what can only be described as a high-stakes fashion gamble. She posted a "get ready with me" video shimmying into a corset so tight it practically required a prayer — paired with thigh-high hose and sheer straps that barely clung to her frame. The moment she finally secured the outfit, her breasts were still teetering on the edge of exposure.

One fan didn't hold back, writing, "When in Venice you forget you're not a stripper again," according to the Daily Mail.

Even before she slipped on her heels — which also gave her trouble — Kim looked like she was one sharp breath away from a full wardrobe disaster. But rather than back down, she doubled down, heading into the night with cameras rolling and cleavage spilling.

'This Is Giving Jack the Ripper Era'

Online reaction was swift — and scathing. Fans lit up her Instagram with comments that ranged from stunned disbelief to brutal shade.

"This is giving Jack the Ripper era," the Daily Mail reported one commenter wrote.

Another wrote, "I thought this was Bianca [Censori]... this screams money can't buy class."

More comparisons to Kanye West's new wife, Bianca Censori — known for her own provocative fashion — came fast. "Why is she cosplaying Bianca?" the Daily Mail reported one fan asked, calling out the uncanny resemblance between Kim's shredded ensemble and Bianca's typical skin-baring looks.

And the punches kept coming: "Lady of the night like we say in the UK," another added, according to OK! Magazine.

A $50M Wedding Hijacked by Selfies

The wardrobe wasn't the only thing raising eyebrows. According to reports, Kim spent much of the Bezos-Sánchez celebration glued to her phone — snapping selfies, staging SKIMS promos, and posting bikini shots from the festivities.

Some fans saw it as classic Kardashian — the hustle never stops. But others weren't impressed.

"The obvious attention seeking is really off-putting," one X user wrote, according to the Daily Mail.

Another chimed in saying, "Still supporting disgusting Balenciaga while attending this wasteful climate nightmare event," — a pointed dig at both her brand affiliations and the sheer spectacle of the Bezos affair.

Kim's Tribute or a Spotlight Grab?

Despite the backlash, Kim appeared unfazed. In her tribute post to the bride, the Daily Mail reported she wrote, "What a beautiful bride you are ... We all cried watching you walk down the [aisle] in pure bliss!" She continued, "But the love we all felt in the room is what we will never forget and why we all love and support you both so much. Forever rooting for the happiest couple! You deserve it all."

Her sincerity, however, was lost on many.

Some critics even suggested Kim tried to "upstage" the bride on her big weekend, according to OK! Magazine.

Kardashian Chaos or Calculated Chaos?

This isn't at all Kim's first brush with backlash, and it likely won't be her last. But what makes this moment different is the contrast: amid a tasteful, over-the-top wedding dripping in curated elegance, Kim chose chaos.

Was it a branding move? A bid to stay on top of the social algorithm? Or just Kim being Kim?

Whatever the reason, one thing's certain: while Bezos and Sánchez threw the wedding of the year, it's Kim Kardashian's breasts — and her need to be seen — that people can't stop talking about.
