The reality star kept to the Garden Of Time red carpet theme with an outfit covered in silver metal lace, flowers, and floral motifs.
She topped it off with a gray cardigan around her shoulders, but it didn't distract fans from noticing her tiny waist.
The U.S. Sun caught up with designer Rebecca Minkoff, 43, at the Annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards on Tuesday, May 7, at The Pierre Hotel in New York City.
"I was worried for her. I was worried that I didn't know if she would be able to breathe," Rebecca revealed when asked her thoughts on Kim's controversial look.
"To me, that's too much, like, when you're disfiguring yourself. I am not for that.
"But she looked beautiful. I just [think] it's too small for me."
Fans took to social media to also express their concern after seeing her radical look on last Monday's Metropolitan Museum of Art steps.
"Kim Kardashian's internal organs are shouting for help," one viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter), while another added: "Did Kim Kardashian just show up in a torture device what the f**k is happening?"
A third added: "No but seriously how many ribs and other vital organs did Kim Kardashian have removed to achieve a waist like this."
Meanwhile, Rebecca was more impressed by other stars' looks.
"Well I thought Kaia Gerber looked gorgeous. It was clean, it was simple. Not always what everyone wants because obviously there was a lot of over the top," she spilled.
"And then I thought that Adwoa with her pregnancy. I am always a big show that bump off."
Kai wore a white strapless Prada gown with sequins while model Adwoa Aboah debuted her baby bump in a vivid red, custom H&M two-piece outfit.

WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN
Rebecca, who did not appear to attend the 2024 Met Gala, is focused on promoting Rebecca Minkoff's new G Box bag and is gearing up for the brand's 20th anniversary in September.
It was recently announced by Deadline that she will be starring in RHONY Season 15, but her role - if she's a full-time housewife has not been specified.
The outlet also said that she's currently filming with the cast.
At the ACE Awards, Rebecca was unable to clarify her role on the show or even if she was filming with the Housewives.
Season 15 of RHONY as confirmed by Bravo includes Erin Lichy, Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield.
"I was a fan of the reboot last season. I've known Jenna, I know Sai, I know Erin. And so I was happy to see that they really pivoted the show to be not about getting drunk and raging at each other, that it was classier and more elevated," Rebecca told The U.S. Sun.
"I mean I think that you can have petty drama, fine, but women should be seen supporting each other and being successful.
"And to me I like that they sort of changed it to that."
'NOTHING OFF LIMITS'
Rebecca welcomed her fourth child, a son named Leonardo Scout, in January 2023 with husband Gavin Bellour.
The couple is also parents to Luca, 12, Bowie, nine, and Nico, six.
If she "were to be filming," she said that, "nothing is off limits, for the most part," in regard to her personal life.
When asked what she would want her fans to know about her, she said more of her personality and her hard work.
"I think I have a personality that doesn't come through an Instagram picture and you can get a little bit of it on my podcast, but where else do you get it?" she continued.
"And so, hopefully, you see that side or you see how hardworking I am or how I support women or how if and when there's a disagreement, I'm like, 'Let's figure it out.'
"And really just who I am as a person shines through. Hopefully, that's - knock on wood - that I'm edited, if I am edited, for the good."
No official announcements have been made for when season 15 of the RHONY reboot will premiere.
