Kardashian donned the famous sheer dress Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to JFK in 1962.
Kim Kardashian transformed into Marilyn Monroe at this year’s Met Gala, wearing the very dress the late icon donned to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
Film footage of the infamous moment shows Monroe slipping off a white fur coat to reveal the sparkling, form-fitting dress beneath. “Nowadays everyone wears sheer dresses, but back then that was not the case,” KardashianThe dress, which was embellished with over six thousand crystals, was based on a sketch by Bob Mackie for French-born Hollywood costume designer Jean-Louis. To complete the look, Kardashian bleached her hair blonde and tied it up into a tight, neat bun.
“The idea really came to me after the gala in September last year. I thought to myself, what would I have done for the American theme if it had not been the Balenciaga look? What’s the most American thing you can think of? And that’s Marilyn Monroe,” Kardashian told. The instant she stepped foot on the red carpet wearing the infamous glittering dress, her hair platinum blonde and perfectly coiffed, the reference was unmistakable.
