Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala look this year was one of the most talked-about looks and now, she is under the scanner with regards to the same. It appears that Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress was seemingly damaged after Kim wore it. Pop Culture published side-by-side photographs of the “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” gown from before and after Kardashian wore it.
Before and after – Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress
In the photographs shared, it can be seen that the back clasp of the dress shows traces of stretched fabric and missing crystals. In order to slide into the iconic gown, the 41-year-old Kim reduced 16 pounds in the weeks before the event. Furthermore, because she couldn’t move around freely in the original, she switched into a replica as she reached the party. However, seems like that was too late already. It appears that just posing for photos on the red carpet may have harmed the “world’s most expensive outfit.”
Marilyn Monroe fans weren’t happy with Kim wearing the outfit. However, the museum that rented the dress had no objection. Post Met Gala, Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, the museum stated, “This was no easy decision for Ripley’s, however, Kim Kardashian has continued to show the utmost respect for this opportunity and historic garment. From extensive research to following guidelines such as no body makeup, only wearing the dress for the short red-carpet appearance, and making absolutely no alterations, she has become a steward and added to its history.” However, photographs of the iconic dress that have gone viral on the internet appear to contradict Ripley’s statements.
