Marilyn Monroe wore it in 1962! Dress ruined? Now Kim Kardashian is responding

Kim Kardashian’s wow performance at this year’s Met Gala was followed by negative headlines. Because the American wore a very special outfit for the event. The dress is not a new dress that only has financial value. Marilyn Monroe wore the same gown during her birthday song for President John F. Kennedy in 1962.

A photo comparison that appeared on social media after the Met Gala, showing the dress before and after the evening, is said to show that the influencer destroyed the historic asset. She was asked about these allegations during her appearance on “Today”. It’s not true that she ruined the dress, she insists. In doing so, she reinforces the statement of the museum exhibiting the dress. An alleged damage was previously denied from this side as well.

Kardashian only wore the dress for a few minutes

It was a “process” to use the dress. She arrived at the event in slippers and dressing gown. “I put the dress on at the end of the red carpet, walked up the steps. I wore it for probably three or four minutes,” she says. In addition, gloves were used to help her into the outfit.

In addition, Kim Kardashian comments on another controversy she sparked: she was criticized for losing almost nine kilograms for the dress. “I saw it as a kind of role. And I really really wanted to wear the dress. It was really important to me.”

The diet subsequently helped her to lead a healthier lifestyle. “I’ve been eating very healthy ever since. […] I cut out so much sugar. Some of the junk food I ate.” She then lost even more weight as a result, but this was not her goal.
