For the Met Gala event, the successful celebrity wore an iconic dress that in order to enter it she lost seven kilograms of weight • The photos prove that the dress was indeed damaged.


About a month ago, Kim Kardashian managed to stir up a storm when she chose to wear the iconic 1962 Marilyn Monroe dress from Matt Gala from President Kennedy's birthday celebrations.

Aside from the fact that Kardashian admitted to losing about seven pounds in three weeks to be able to cram her famous curves into the tight dress, many attacked her for the sheer audacity of wearing such an iconic dress.

There were people who even saw it as boldness, and were angry at those who gave their hand to what they called a cultural and historical omission.

After the storm surrounding the dress seemed a bit forgotten, the outrage over Kardashian has resurfaced in recent days, when according to online reports, the original concern of many that actually wearing the dress and the changes that had to be made to allow Kardashian to walk in it did cause damage.

The Marilyn Monroe Collection Instagram page, which has about 75.3 thousand followers, posted two photos of the dress side by side yesterday (Monday): one of the original dress and the other that allegedly shows the dress after Kardashian wore it.

According to reports, crystals that were originally gone (torn or fell) and others are hanging on the brakes, with the photos clearly showing damage to the faded and stretched felt to the edge when the zipper is also in poor condition.

"A beauty of a way to preserve the integrity of the dress, was it worth it?", Was written in anger mixed with cynicism in a post on the page with a tag to the Ripley Museum that purchased the dress at auction in 2016, when dozens of page and web surfers expressed outrage over the destruction. Money and contempt for an item of historical and cultural importance.

Relying on Kardashian's own remarks in interviews she gave to the media at the height of the dress drama, the damage to the dress should come as no surprise.

Although Kardashian managed to slip into the dress, it could not be fastened at the back, so she walked on the red carpet with a fur coat covering the exposed area at the back.

"I measured her and she did not surpass me," she admitted.

"It was a challenge for me. As a role I was determined to be able to fill, I had to be able to get into it."

The dress was purchased by the Ripley Museum in 2016 for $ 4.8 million.

After calculating taxes and costs, its value was estimated at about five million dollars.

"This is the most expensive dress sold at auction," museum officials said of the historic fashion item, which is currently valued at more than $ 10 million.
