Kim Kardashian wore a stole to hide that Marilyn Monroe's dress could not be closed
The businesswoman had to make several sacrifices to stand out at the Met Gala. It was also harshly criticized by experts.
Kim Kardashian was one of the celebrities who stood out the
most at the Met Gala on May 2. The businesswoman wore the iconic dress that
Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 when she sang "Happy Birthday" to President John
F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden. The suit is part of the relics of the
Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.
However, not everything was perfect for the socialite, because
she could not close the dress behind her due to the size of her buttocks and
she had to wear a stole to hide. In addition, Kim Kardashian revealed to
Vogue magazine that she was forced to lose weight in order to wear the
suit.
"I always thought I was extremely curvy. I imagined
I could be smaller in places where she was bigger and bigger in places where
she was smaller. So when it didn't fit, I wanted to cry because you can't
change it at all." "said the businesswoman to Vogue.
For this reason, Kim Kardashian designed a plan to wear
the famous dress. Giving up sugar and carbohydrates, using the treadmill,
and eating vegetables and protein were some of the activities that she
did.
Although it is clear that the businesswoman attracted attention
at the Met Gala, she was harshly criticized by experts.
Writer Michelle Morgan argued that Marilyn's dress "is
extremely delicate and has been kept in temperature-controlled conditions,
but now here it is, not just on, but on a red carpet where anything could
have happened to her."
"This dress was made for Marilyn Monroe, it's not something you
take off a hanger," historian and collector Scott Fortner told People
magazine.
"Such an iconic piece of American history shouldn't risk
harm just for an ego boost and a good photo opportunity," fashion historian
Dr. Justine De Young said.
