This year’s Met Gala made news when Kim Kardashian wore a legendary Marilyn Monroe dress. More than a month later, her ensemble is still sparking discussion online, with some people thinking that she might have harmed the clothing. Kardashian did not harm the outfit, according to Ripley’s Believe It or Not, which lent it to her.
Ripley’s, which has numerous displays displaying pop culture items and other memorabilia across the United States, was the source of the outfit that Kardashian stole, as she explained in great detail. Additionally, she mentioned how even after reducing weight, it didn’t exactly fit correctly when the time came to wear it.
She chose to hide the back of the dress on the red carpet by wearing a fur stole rather than zipping it all the way up. She merely wore it on the red carpet, that’s all.
To avoid damaging the glittering dress that Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy, the reality personality and businesswoman slipped it on just before she stepped onto the steps of the Met and took it off as soon as she entered. Once entering the Met Gala, Kardashian changed into a copy of the outfit.
On social media, though, there was conjecture that she had harmed it. Online pictures of the dress allegedly “before” and “after” Kardashian wore it started to go viral, along with claims that she tore a seam and lost some of the dress’ jewels.
However, the dress’s original source addressed those rumours. “You are heard! The claimed damage to Marilyn Monroe’s famous ‘Happy Birthday’ dress from 1962 has not been directly attributed to Kim Kardashian’s climb up the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum during this year’s Met Gala “Instagram was updated by Ripley’s.
The post claims that “Ripley’s choice to allow this garment to have a Met Gala moment has been highly debated, so we’re here to clear the air.” Several details regarding the garment were revealed by Ripley’s, including a 2017 report that indicated “a number of seams are ripped and worn.”
According to the study, according to Ripley’s, the tears are not unexpected given how delicate its fabric is.
