Kim Kardashian Able ‘To Share’ Marilyn Monroe
In 2022, Kim Kardashian made a lot of people angry by wearing Marilyn Monroe’s dress. She opted to wear the iconic ‘Happy Birthday Mr. President’ dress to the Met Gala. At the time, Kim promised it was being treated incredibly carefully. She wasn’t even able to fully close the dress without stretching the fabric, so she had to wear a wrap around her back to hide the gap. Kim also had a replica of the dress that she changed into after her time on the red carpet.
However, despite trying to be careful and changing into a second dress, fans were instantly able to identify damage done to the garment. Kim caught a lot of heat for her decision.
Now, two years later, Kim is talking about it again Daily Express US reports. This time, she’s talking about how people didn’t know about Marilyn before she wore the dress to the gala.
“We were just talking, you said you were shocked on TikTok, some people don’t even know who Marilyn Monroe was,” Samantha Guthrie says to Kim Kardashian during an interview.
Kim then explains how she had the opportunity to share about Marilyn Monroe with everyone.
“That was the most shocking thing to me and that’s why I was so happy to at least have that opportunity and that Ripley’s gave me the opportunity to share this moment so that it could live on,” Kim says.
Why Did She Wear The Dress?
So, why did Kim Kardashian wear the dress even though people were still upset? Kim says that it fit the theme of the gala that year.
“With the theme being American, I thought what is more American than Marilyn Monroe singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to the president of the United States,” Kim says.
However, she’s quick to note that she does know how important the dress is and tells everyone how much respect she has for Marilyn.
“I respect her and I understand how much this dress means to American history,” she said.
