Kim Kardashian Accused Of Causing Damage To Dress At Met Gala
Popular Reality TV star, Kim Kardashian has been accused of damaging Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown which she wore to the 2022 Met Gala.
The Marilyn Monroe Collection called out Kim Kardashian, along with Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Museum who loaned her the dress, for the alleged damage.
The crystal-studded gown, which Monroe wore to sing happy birthday to US President John F. Kennedy in 1962, was worn by Kim Kardashian on the red carpet for one of the most prestigious celebrity events of the year the Met Gala.
Kim Kardashian also shed 16 pounds to fit into the dress which could not be altered due to its age and status.
On the Met Gala night, Kim Kardashian appeared with bleached blonde hair alongside her new partner, Comedian Pete Davidson.
The mother of four later changed into a replica after walking the red carpet to protect the 60-year-old gown, but concerns were raised at the time about potential damage to an iconic piece of history.
On Tuesday June 14, The Marilyn Monroe Collection took to Instagram to share “before” and “after” shots that allegedly show the dress damaged following Kim’s outing. The image shows missing crystals and stretched fabric near the clasps at the back of the gown.
“So much for keeping ‘the integrity of the dress and the preservation,’” said The Marilyn Monroe Collection. “Was it worth it?”
The caption was followed by recent quotes from Ripley’s officials explaining their preservation efforts for Kardashian’s red carpet appearance.
“Great care was taken to preserve this piece of pop culture history. With input from garment conservationists, appraisers, and archivists, the garment’s condition was top priority. Believe It or Not! no alterations were to be made to the dress and Kim even changed into a replica after the red carpet!”
Big Brother Naija alumni, TBoss, has recounted the different trends displayed by women saying she’s fed up with the trend of portraying sexiness in such a vulgar manner.
TBoss stated this via a post on her Instagram story on Wednesday where she narrated the most recent trends saying the latest of them which involves groping of the boobs is getting out of hand.
“It used to be females twisting their heads so hard to show their faces yet include their butts in photos. I tried it, I almost rearranged my organs so I gave up…
“Then came the tongues sticking out, looking like a generation of serpentine spirits…
“Now it’s the boob grope. The amount of self-fondling and boob groping is legit getting outta hand.
“Must we portray sexiness in such a vulgar manner? What’s next? Abeg I don tire for una.” She wrote.
