Was Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe’s dress?

Kim Kardashian wore the historic Marilyn Monroe costume made by Jean-Louis to the Met Gala, which was no ordinary piece of dress.

Kim walked down the red carpet in the $4.8 million crystal-covered nude silk gown for the event in early May. She paired the outfit with a white fur stole because she couldn’t pull the back zipper up.

Kardashian realized her expectation that the gown would slip on during a fitting more than a month before the gala and was optimistic during a fitting more than a month before the event. “I wanted to cry when it didn’t fit because it can’t be adjusted at all,” she added.

She then embarked on an aggressive weight-loss programme to get into the outfit, which included a vegetable-centric diet.

Kim wore another Marilyn Monroe gown after the Met Gala carpet had cleared and the fashionable festivities had ended. She eventually changed into a replica because the original dress, which she wore in 1962, was far too valuable to be worn for a whole night.
