Kim Kardashian channeled late Hollywood film star Marilyn Monroe at the 2022 Met Gala. The dress code was gilded glamour.
For the red carpet, Kardashian wore the exact dress that Monroe sported to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy on his 45th birthday in 1962.
Kardashian revealed on the red carpet that she lost 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into the gown, because it wasn’t allowed to be altered.
Monroe, who died at age 36 in 1962, is said to have originally paid $1,440 for the custom gown. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum acquired the dress for $4.8 million in 2016 and stores the outfit at one of its vaults in Orlando. Check out the sparkler below. Courtesy:YouTube
