What did you think of Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe's Dress at the Met Gala?

Question

For more context, Kim Kardashian used precaution when wearing the dress, she only put it on when she arrived to the gala, and only wore it for the walk up the stairs, from there on she wore a replicate dress. Kim Kardashian also said she had to lose 16 pounds to fit into the dress. Regardless on your opinion of Monroe, or Kim, the dress is worth a lot of money and a piece of history, as Monroe wore it to sing to JFK. Monroe was a lot smaller than Kim, and you can see the back of the dress digging into Kim, she also couldn't walk in it, I think it's nice that it is seen today, and Kim took precautions, but at the same time, it could've gone through permanent stretching from Kim wearing it.

It does display the headspace to feel like she is as sexy and capable as the classy Marylin Monroe, which she is not in so many ways. The dress, and everything about it, just doesn't work.

But there is more. Marylin died in a bad way, leaving bad energy everywhere. It's like seeing if there is a curse of sorts with Marylin's personal items. Maybe it's nothing, but much to risks. Kim might have picked some of that up, and may even face the same demise now. I know that sounds weird, but I have heard and seen too many examples of that. An invitation to distaster, and the reason I say that is, that dark energy often presents itself on the person to show them in a bad light. And there she is...

I believe the bigger question is:
Why do people put so much thought into what celebrities do in their lives in terms of what they wear and shit. Do people's lives really lack this much substance?

If you really want an answer, I say Kim is fake. Her entire body is fake and now she tries to copy someone else because she cannot stand her own self.

I think Marilyn wore it better! But, at LEAST she wore a beautiful dress, and didn’t go to the Met dressed like:
Michael Jackson’s Zombie

Like a Tinsel Christmas Tree

Or Dressed like the ACTUAL throne from Game Of Thrones:

Dude actually Dressed as the throne from Game of Thrones

Okay, to be fair… the guy in the bottom photo may have gotten really stoned and actually tried to fuck a Slinky, and just gotten so tangled up in it, he just thought “screw it, it’s the friggin Met… who’s going to even notice that it’s a half fucked Slinky?”

Surprised the ass end didn't burst open from Kim's ample derriere. It was like trying to stuff 50 pounds of potatoes into a 10 pound bag. Here is what she should have worn to match her lumpy ass.

shaysh87 · Answer

she doesn't look good wearing it because kim is not slender enough for the dress. the dress is meant to look good only on slender people. if you have butt implants, huge hips , you're not gonna look good. 1950s beauty is different from current day beauty standards.

plus, there is still a lot of mystery surrounding her death. Many people believe that her drug overdose death was staged.

Femphile_xoxo · Answer

I think folks are kinda just projecting their opinions on Kim Kardashian rather than the actual question.

Personally, I kinda thought the Met Gala this year was kinda chaotic but seeing setting personal opinions on Kim aside, I think it's really cool that she got the original dress!! Plus the fact that she didn't treat it carelessly and made sure that she didn't damage it at all.

Snsl153 · Answer

Perhaps the more pertinent question would be why anyone would even care about something as unimportant as this. Who even is Kim Kardashian? What does she actually DO? How has she contributed to the betterment of mankind? At least someone like Elon Musk launches rockets and makes cars, and is now about to cleanse Twitter, but what are her accomplishments? I can't think of any.

BCA6010 · Answer

Kim sickens me, and the Met Gala is pretty much America's premiere wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Flower7 · Answer

The blonde hair looks awful on her. The dress looks fine. And I’m sure it took a lot of work to lose the 16 pounds to fit into it. That’s a lot of weight!

TheMajesticKing777 · Answer

This is the definition of someone that is still clout chasing, absolutely pointless from her part, did she want to feel more special or something? Like she doesn't have enough publicity already, seems more of a disrespect to Marilyn

cth96190 · Answer

The Armenian skank is not Marilyn 2.0. Not even close.

ZackBan · Answer

It perfectly highlights what American culture has come to.  What used to be classy and feminine and tallented is now fat and made of plastic and has no marketable skill other than having sex on camera

jshm2 · Answer

Nah, she tried to. But Kim is waaaaaay off the pedestal of Monroe.

Maybe Kim is looking to get into a bit or modelling or acting and this is her way of suggesting it.

But she's as crazy as Kanye, so I doubt even she knows half the time what she wants.

Anonymous · Answer

Does she think she looks like Marilyn? Her hair looks lousy and I never new who "The Kardashians" were until I heard about some stupid show on TV. Where do they come from? There are so many beautiful women in the world and "The Kardashians" are old and average looking, they aren't, get over it.

kitty71 · Answer

My question? The dress kim wore was the original piece Marilyn wore? If that was the case what an insult to Marilyn, that that hoe, brainless, self absorbed, narcisist lady wore her dress. Marilyn was natural Kim is all fake, artificial and sinthetic. Who would y ou choose?

ManOnFire · Answer

I don't really care what Kim Kardashian does to be honest. She has never been that relevant to me, neither her or her other celebutante sisters. They’re famous really for nothing.

Anonymous · Answer

Lol funny to see all the Kim haters. She is somewhere living her best life literally but we are perfect people so we have the right to judge her negatively. Lol. I have no opinion on the dress or her. Who am I to have an opinion on anyone but myself? Waste of time to try to think up something about someone else when I know nothing.

Emilyis · Answer

I had to google Marilyn and the dress but I think it was stupid to wear it then wear a replica. That just doens't make sense and yes she could have stretched it.

hanony · Answer

I really don’t think she should have put the dress through that 😕 she didn’t even wear red lipstick…

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Monroe also couldn't walk in it, it's the style of the dress. The dress is fine, a little stretching isn't going to harm it drastically. Everyone is acting like they wouldn't jump at the opportunity to wear the dress. 😂

ManHater · Answer

Why should a 23 year old girl care? WTF is wrong with you stop glorifying other people who could give two fucks about your life! You think Kim Kardashian cares if you lick the shit off her boot from prised poodle? No of course not but i am sure you still would do it.

MzAsh · Answer

It’s a great dress, but just not meant for Kim’s body.

Sugar100 · Answer

She should of worn her hair down or a wig. She looks weird with her hair in a bun slicked back. I feel it ruined the look.

Creampiekarl420 · Answer

she is getting old im sick of her and that funky ass auntie bun if she was gonna wear the dress she should’ve wore the wig too

Anonymous · Answer

uhhh, I like to see history come alive and not be stuck behind glass, but at the same time Kim is an arrogant twat for thinking that she's "worthy" to wear the iconic dress and I hope her fat ass didn't tear it at the seams. 🤣

Kaneki05 · Answer

I am so glad I basically know nothing about these two celebs or what the Met Gala is lol. Then for it been expensive dress sounds like a waste of money and a dumb reason for a dress to be expensive.

Anonymous · Answer

She’s trying to be blonde. Like Marilyn. SMH. Pathetic. All celebrities are demons

Dargil · Answer

Marilyn had good tastes. Why waste the dress rotting in a closet?

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

She does not have that natural grace. Also Monroe had Jack Cole. it should have been left on a mannequin…..

Uptowngirl88 · Answer

She looked good in the dress but I don't think she should've been wearing Marilyn's dress. I don't know it just rubbed me the wrong way

JustinTheGreat · Answer

I think she should of just wore the replica the whole time. That dress is a piece of history and it’s a bit selfish to put it on and potentially ruin it just to get a few pictures

HeartFullOfGlue · Answer

It doesn't look good on her and the tight bun doesn't really make it any better

LovingLoverReturned · Answer

If you didn't tell me it was M. M's dress, I wouldn't have remembered or known. I still don't care if the dress rips 🤣 . Not my problem.

ohshee · Answer

I honestly think it would look better on you I mean it's not bad but yeah it would look better on you

OddBeMe · Answer

It’s not her fault but the people who owned or managed the dress. As much as I like to hate on Kim K.

slatyb · Answer

Either she owns it or someone lent it to her. If it is damaged it can be repaired. It's just a dress.

caitycat21 · Answer

Monroe did it better. Kim can only dream of making the kind of impact Marilyn did ! Lol

Guardian45 · Answer

KK is a fat sow who had to lose 16 lbs to slither into MM's dress. I'm just glad she didn't bust the seams on that iconic dress!

Anonymous · Answer

Kinda hilarious that everyone goes so nuts over that all because the chick the Pres was banging on the side sang to him at some event. Makes you wonder how much people would be willing to pay for Monica L's blue dress covered in presidential spooge.

SaraSmithishere · Answer

I actually go to the same tailor as Kim! Actually, she DOES wear a smaller size - she might be a size 4 or 6, or at least she was a few years ago...

olivia_rae · Answer

I thing she looks good. It's fact that is not the right thing to do... (it dress that is wearing years ago). But they try their best to look fashon. For me... try to be back in the old years with the modern dress.
