The famous became a trend with the most amazing look of the ceremony.
The red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York evoked the golden age of fashion with the most extravagant, elegant and unexpected outfits of the famous Met Gala 2022. One that undoubtedly stole the attention of the ceremony was the socialite Kim Kardashian who paid tribute to the Hollywood diva, Marilyn Monroe.
The reality star "The Kardashians" walked arm in arm with her partner, Pete Davidson, who wore a classic black suit. All eyes fell on the 41-year-old influencer who wore the same dress with which Monroe sang "Happy Birthday" to President John F. Kennedy, with whom she would have starred in a torrid romance.
“I am so honored to wear the iconic dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 to sing 'Happy Birthday' to President John F. Kennedy. It is an impressive tight dress adorned with more than 6,000 crystals sewn by hand by the costumier Jean Louis, ”wrote the famous one on her social networks where she shared images of her look.
She then thanked the Ripley's Believe It or Not! “for the opportunity to debut a piece evocative of fashion history for the first time since the late Marilyn Monroe wore it. I am eternally grateful for this moment.”
Wearing this tight suit was a physical challenge for the famous, who recounted the strict diet that she had to follow. “I always thought I had a lot of curves. I figured she might be smaller in places where she was bigger, and bigger where she was smaller. So when it didn't fit me, I wanted to cry," said the businesswoman who had to lose at least 8 kilos to be able to wear the suit, she told Vogue.
The elegant suit Monroe wore to Kennedy's 45th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden is a historical gem. Ripley's Believe It or Not! He would have acquired it in 2016 for the sum of 4.8 million dollars, which made it the most expensive dress sold at auction, the American publication highlighted.
Kim Kardashian dyed her hair platinum blonde and an elegant fur coat that gave a glamorous touch to a gala where celebrities evoked the golden age of American fashion, which spanned the 1870s and 1890s. Other celebrities showed off among them Jared Leto , Alicia Keys, Blake Lively, Vanessa Hudgens, Kaia Gerber and Emma Stone
The Kardashian clan on the red carpet was one of the most anticipated moments of the event. While Kim was right with her Monroy-style look, many fans criticized her sisters Khloé, Kourtney and especially Kylie's outfits. The best of the family unleashed memes on social networks by dressing in a wedding dress and a veil made with a cap.
