Kim Kardashian had to lose 16 pounds (7.25 kg) in three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s Met Gala 2022 gown.
The golden gown, which is also the most costly dress in the world, is a fashion history favourite. In 1962, Monroe wore it when singing “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” to President John F. Kennedy.

It was an unforgettable moment for practically everyone who observed it. Monroe wore this soufflé gauze dress to serenade President John F. Kennedy at a gala hosted 10 days before his birthday in Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962.
It was inspired by theatrical costumes Louis had fashioned for Marlene Dietrich and her Las Vegas cabaret performance in the 1950s and 1960s. It was custom-crafted by French costumier Jean Louis and based on a design by a teenage Bob Mackie.
