Did Kim Kardashian Damage Marilyn Monroe’s Dress?

Was the most famous dress in American history damaged when Kim Kardashian wore it? That's the question being asked about the iconic beaded Marilyn Monroe gown Kim wore to the 2022 Met Gala. The dress was only worn once by Marilyn. New side-by-side photos of the dress, taken before and after Kim wore it, appear to show the stretched fabric and missing beads. The iconic designer Bob Mackie, who created the dress, said letting Kim wear it was a "big mistake."

[@kokocute123]

The fact they allowed her to wear such a historic piece is wrong in itself. They shouldn’t have let her wear it in the first place.

Every sister and momager need to learn an important lesson from this. And, just a thought here. With all of the money they all have why didn't KK have the dress copied?

@@MissNayNay22 I'm not surprised. Marilyn Monroe was actively ridiculed and degraded for being perceived as just a sex symbol when she was alive. The people who lived back then would be surprised to see how much people in the modern day revere her. Perhaps in 80 years, people will talk about how Kim Kardashian was blamed for the release of her sex tape against her will and made the best of the situation, that she became a successful businesswoman and used the industry's sexism against itself, and about the many causes that she donated to. Personally, I don't buy all of that because her family was already wealthy and somewhat famous before the sex tape incident, and she has donated only the tiniest fraction of her wealth and seems to care about wealth and fame over people. But I do think it's unfair when people blame her for the sex tape when she didn't even authorize its release - it was released by an ex or something to shame her. So who knows how history will treat her?

Its a dress not history

[@Vivianxo1]

The fact that Kim had a REPLICA and still chose to wear her iconic dress? She even KNEW that it was fragile. Cmon Kim.

[@Beautista]

This is seriously some very important NEWS!! 🙌🏻 What a news report!!

[@autumnjade815]

Kim didn’t even do the dress justice.

[@IM-uf3sb]

Not at all. This dress was not made for her. It was specifically designed for Marilyn Monroe. So disrespectful on so many levels.

[@iBobaBear]

I hate how the Kardashian’s think their entitled to everything because their rich and famous. To buy a dress worn by an iconic women is one thing but then wearing and damaging is disgusting. The fact that she built the effrontery to force herself into that dress is just stupid of her, it didn’t even go to the theme of the met gala. Like why did they allow her to wear it?! The disrespect. Marilyn was a talented young lady unlike Kim who is not and uses money to get what she wants.

[@danieldravot341]

they’re (correct spelling) rich and famous. BTW, Kardashian borrowed the dress, even while knowing her fat ass wouldn’t fit.

kim kardashian never deserved to wear such an historic dress.

[@reinburhythm3215]

That dress was SPECIFICALLY made for Marilyn Monroe; no one else should be wearing that, ESPECIALLY considering its historical significance. That’s what it means to have something custom-made y’all, means it’s not meant for others to wear, everybody should know that…

[@JAnotherday]

It's Ripley's fault for allowing anyone to be placed in that dress after Marilyn Monroe had worn it. And by doing so you have not only ruined the dress, but also devalued the dress.

[@Frederickervin429]

Damaged or not, Monroe was the LAST person to wear the dress…now she no longer holds that title. That is actually irreversible.

[@joannephillips6781]

Oh for goodness sake, anyone can tell there’s no way Kim could possibly fit that dress. No need to try the dress on. Get a measuring tape, measure the circumference of dress around the hip area and then measure Kim. Hands down it would never have fitted Kim no matter how much weight she lost to get into it. Marilyn and Kim do not have the same body shapes.

[@lovelybxtterfly4915]

She literally could've paid to make a replica, she gets to keep it and it won't harm anything, instead of borrowing it and giving it back damaged. Where's the respect? 💀

[@mirishikibacchus6862]

The truth is is that she did have a replica, but she decided to wear the actual dress on the red carpet for clout, this absolutely sucks, she wore the replica for the rest of the night I heard people say

This was a dress that we talked about in my fashion photography class that is how historically significant this dress is. It had three whole pages dedicated to it detailing all the ways that the dress was created and how something like this should be photographed and understanding the context of why it's so important. For Kim Kardashian just to wear that when she could just go to some other designer and say I want this make me a version of this that works for my body type but instead goes and wears a piece of fashion history makes my blood boil because now it's damaged and getting that thing repaired if it's even possible to repair is going to cost a fortune and you know she isn't going to Shell out for that.

[@olypav4593]

This is America in a nutshell. In the 50-60s Marilyn Monroe a natural curvy beautiful woman made an iconic moment singing a birthdaysong to the president of the US in a dress only made for her, only made to fit her body. 2022 a reality star with no talent who has had plastic surgery in almost every area in her body forces herself into that dress, ruins it completely because her but is so full of plastic just to appear at a dumb gala for the same dumb celebs as her. An the cherry on top of the cake is that Marilyn specifically wanted no one else to wear the dress. It’s disgusting and makes my stomach turn.
