And if Kim Kardashian had managed to make an impression in this sumptuous Hollywood dress, it didn’t take long for the web to ignite on the subject.
Lend Marilyn Monroe’s dress to Kim Kardashian, a mistake?
On June 13, 2022, the Twitter account @popcrave unveiled a before/after shot of Marilyn Monroe’s dress, suggesting that it would have suffered during the evening of May 2, 2022. The dress with six thousand crystals would seem to have lost some a few on the Met Gala red carpet, despite all the precautions taken by Kim Kardashian and her team. In addition to missing rhinestones, the dress would be, according to the photos published by @popcrave, torn and slightly stretched at the level of the closure located in the back. Defects which, even small, have serious consequences, since on social networks, the general public does not fail to show its dissatisfaction and his disappointment in the face of this historical heritage that would have been damaged by the fashionista.
