Kim Kardashian had a Marilyn Moment at the 2022 Met Gala

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson Kim Kardashian wore the Iconic 1962 Marilyn Monroe dress to the 2022 Met Gala. She wore the dress on the red carpet alone and changed to a replica for the rest of the event out of respect for the late Legendary actress and singer (and she didn’t want to ruin the gown, ofcourse!).

Kim revealed that she lost 16 pounds in three weeks just to fit into the dress. And she took it off so she won’t have to sit or eat in it and risk any damage. She said;

“I’m extremely respectful to the dress and what it means to American history,” Kardashian told Vogue ahead of the Met Gala. “I would never want to sit in it or eat in it or have any risk of any damage to it and I won’t be wearing the kind of body makeup I usually do.”

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson The Kardashian Jenners

Kim is the first to wear the dress since the famed Hollywood actress debuted the gown back in 1962 singing “Happy Birthday, Mr President”. It was created by Hollywood designer Jean Louis and was loaned to Kardashian by the Ripley’s Believe it or Not!, a museum and events franchise that purchased the gown for a record-breaking $4.8 million at a 2016 auction.

What an honour it must be for Kim. She also dyed her hair blonde to match -she looked great.

Oh and her boyfriend Pete Davidson was there and he decided to put on big boys’ shoes this time.

Love to hear from you
