While her look was met with cheers on the night and plenty of positive feedback, some social media users criticized Kardashian for glamourizing her weight loss, a topic she has previouslydrawn angerfor in the past. Kardashian encountered similar difficulties on the Costume Institute's red carpet where she was seen carefully shuffling up the stairs, with help from her boyfriend Pete Davidson. According to her agreement with Ripley's, no alterationswere allowed to be made to the dress though she later changed into a replica for the rest of the event. Created 60 years ago by Hollywood designer Jean Louis, with help from Bob Mackie, the shimmering dress is one of Monroe's most iconic looks.

And a couple of clips she shared to her Instagram story later proved that she was grateful to have the experience behind her, too. So when it didn’t fit me I wanted to cry because it can’t be altered at all.” It was such a challenge.

Though she isn't your average movie star, there's no one better suited than Kim to embody one of Marilyn's sexiest and most infamous moments.

“Marilyn Monroe was the biggest star in the world. “I imagined I might be smaller in some places where she was bigger and bigger in places where she was smaller. And whether we choose to believe it or not, the discourse and impassioned views on either side speak directly to both women's ascendancy in pop culture. “I always thought she was extremely curvy,” Kim said of Marilyn Monroe ahead of the big night. I thought to myself, what would I have done for the American theme if it had not been the Balenciaga look? “In a sense, it’s the original naked dress.

Later in the post, she expressed gratitude for the opportunity to wear it: In an Instagram post, the Kardashians star spoke further about getting to wear Marilyn Monroe’s dress, which is adorned with over 6,000 hand-sewn crystals.

It was Kim Kardashian’s own idea that she would wear it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's major event this year.

Kim Kardashian showed up in the actual dress that Marilyn Monroe wore to serenade JFK at his 45th Birthday in 1962.

Kardashian didn't technically meet the “Gilded Glamour” theme, as her Jean-Louis vintage dress was from 1962, giving more Old Hollywood than Gilded Age, but it’s Kim Kardashian, so who cares.

So, the solution ... a white, vintage fur coat that draped over the zipper which was only partially fastened. As for the dress ... Ripley's bought it from Julien's Auctions back in 2016 for $4.81 million ... and that's a record. Here's the thing ... Kim wore the real MM dress on the red carpet, but then scurried away into a room to change into a replica dress that fit a lot better, and that's what she wore during the event. Kim and her boo, Pete Davidson, hit up Ripley's in Orlando 10 days before the NYC shindig ... and it was a whole process getting it to properly fit. It's funny ... at first, Pete chats with her from the sidelines, before jumping in to help ... imploring her to relax and breathe. Kim Kardashian rocked Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress at the Met Gala ... but, the struggle was real, when it came to actually getting into the iconic garment.

Après deux ans de pandémie, le Met Gala 2022 s'est à nouveau tenu le premier lundi de mai à New York comme le veut la tradition.

Pour cette édition 2022 du célèbre gala, l'apparition de la célébrité américaine dans la robe la plus chère de tous les temps a été le fruit d'une ...

En véritable œuvre d'art, la robe brodée est d'ordinaire conservée dans l'obscurité, à une température constante de 20 degrés et un taux d'humidité de dépassant pas les 50%. Pour réaliser son rêve de la porter, Kim Kardashian a donc dû se plier à un protocole très strict. Elle doit changer ses produits de beauté habituels pour éviter les taches et l'enfiler assistée d'un conservateur, dans une cabine d'essayage créée pour l'occasion. «Chaque étape était chronométrée, j'ai dû m'entraîner à monter les marches.» confie-t-elle. «Quelle est la chose la plus américaine à laquelle on puisse penser ? C'est Marilyn Monroe.» Voilà la réflexion, confiée à Vogue, qui a guidé Kim Kardashian dans son choix de tenue pour le Met Gala 2022 : la robe portée par l'icône pour entonner son légendaire «Happy birthday» à John Fitzgerald Kennedy en 1962. Aujourd'hui, elle est la propriété du musée Ripley's Believe It Or Not. En d'autres termes, la porter a été un véritable défi. Acquise à l'époque pour un peu plus d'un millier de dollars, la création de Jean-Louis Berthault s'est revendue deux fois aux enchères, en 1999, puis en 2016, par la maison Julien. Cette fois, elle atteint la somme record de 4,8 millions de dollars, faisant d'elle la robe la plus chère de tous les temps. Élément clé de la performance hautement sensuelle de Marilyn Monroe, quelques mois seulement avant sa mort, la fameuse robe est restée gravée dans les annales.
