Kim Kardashian directs her inner Marilyn Monroe … dressed in exactly the same dress that MM wore during a sexy performance for John F. Kennedy at The Met Gala.
Kim had just arrived at the prom, dressed in Marilyn’s iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress … she was the last to show up, arriving with Pete Davidson, who was wearing a Dior.
The dress, originally designed by Jean-Louis, was first worn by Marilyn in May 1962, when she gave a sexual birthday performance to JFK at another famous fundraising campaign in New York.
About 60 years later, Kim removed the dress from an exhibition at a museum and shook it at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Kim has been hinting at wearing the dress for a while … first, she said she can’t sew a dress that hints at something from an archive, and then she and Pete were spotted leaving the Believe It or Not Ripley Museum. in Orlando, where the iconic dress is on display.
It’s one of the most expensive dresses in the world … the original price of $ 12,000 in 1962 was about $ 114,000 in today’s dollars … and Ripley bought the dress from Julien’s auction in November 2016 for $ 4.81 million.
Legend has it that Marilyn had to be sewn into the dress … and it seems that Kim has a body that matches.
