It seems that just the fact that she wore it for a few minutes when she entered the Met Gala may have damaged the “most expensive dress in the world”.
Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world. Give her the wrong dress and she can just infuriate millions of fans.
THE Kim Kardashian caught the eye at Met Gala of 2022 when he arrived at the steps of the museum wearing the emblematic dress “Happy Birthday, Mr. President ”by Marilyn Monroe since 1962.
The “Kardashians” star said that she lost 16 kilos before the event to be crammed into the historic toilet and even changed it with a copy as soon as she arrived at the party entrance, as she could not move freely with the original.
“I have great respect for the dress and what it means to American history,” she told Vogue before the party. “I would never want to sit with it or eat wearing it or run any risk of causing any damage.”he stated.
However, it seems that just posing for photos on the red carpet with Pete Davidson may have damaged the “most expensive dress in the world”.
On Monday, they were published photos of the dress, with before and after. One of them shows signs of stretched fabric and missing crystals, especially around the clasp on the back.

“Kim should never have worn this dress from the beginning. I mean yes, it’s nice to pay tribute to Marilyn, but she could have made a copy of the dress. “This was a timeless and emblematic work of art that has been destroyed,” one person wrote on Twitter in response. “Let Kim destroy a historic work of art,” said another.
A third wrote: “Congratulations at the Met Gala for presenting a real example of why a maintenance department like the Costume Institute is essential for historically important garments.”
