In the run-up to this year’s Met Gala, it became known that reality star Kim Kardashian would like to show herself in an original dress by style icon Marylin Monroe. This is the dress Monroe wore when she served for President John F. Kennedy in 1962.Happy Birthday Mr. President” sang.
The dress was originally designed by Jean Louis. Ever since it was sold to a company for nearly $5 million in 2016, it’s been considered the world’s most expensive dress. When not being worn by Kardashian, the beaded dress hangs in a Florida museum.
Back then, Monroe had it tailored to his body in the truest sense of the word. It was only sewn into the dress shortly before her performance. That’s why it mightn’t be adjusted to fit Kardashian’s body proportions. According to her own statements, she “had to adapt to the dress”.
Kardashian only received the dress for her red carpet walk. In the actual celebrations, there would have been too many risks of it being damaged. A short pleasure then.
