Kim Kardashian accused of causing permanent damage to Marilyn Monroe's dress
Kim Kardashian caused a sensation at the Met gala when she arrived at the big event wearing an iconic Marilyn Monroe dress, but many criticized her irresponsibility in endangering a historical costume. Now, new photos reveal that Marilyn's lovers' worst nightmares have come true.
The star had to lose 16 pounds in 3 weeks to fit into the "world's most expensive dress," purchased by Ripley's Believe It or Not museum for $4.8 million.
"I am extremely respectful of the dress and everything it means to the history of America," Kardashian told Vogue before the event. "I would never want to sit or eat with it on, or endanger it in any way, and I won't be wearing the kind of body makeup I normally do."
However, a Marilyn Monroe life historian shared an image on Instagram that proved that Kim and her team's efforts were not enough to protect the dress.
"They forgot to take care of the 'integrity of the dress and preservation'. @ripleysbelieveitornot was it worth it?" wrote Scott Fortner.
In his photos, we saw two images of the dress, presumably before and after the Met Gala, the most recent with damaged fabric and less crystals, particularly around the back closure of the dress.
On social media, many criticized Kim for damaging the dress and Ripley's for lending it to her.
