Something with the history of the celebrity went wrong this time. We tried to figure out if she was really in the original dress of the film star.
Not a single appearance of the Kardashian family is overlooked, because either they put on too revealing outfits, or too strange, but the last time Kim distinguished herself by wearing the legendary outfit of Marilyn Monroe herself at the Met Gala , which was not only kept in the museum, but and is worth nearly $5 million.
It was in this sheath dress of a soft beige shade that Monroe took the stage at Madison Square Garden in the last year of her life to congratulate the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, on his 45th birthday.
Also, the reality TV star and Instagram diva with a multi-million audience said that after the completion of the Met Gala, she changed into another Monroe outfit – an emerald dress from the popular designer of the 60s Norman Norell, which the Hollywood movie star wore in the same 1962 at the Golden the globe”.
“Trying to find a hand-beaded Jean Louis gown I wore to the gala, I discovered that @heritageauctions owns Marilyn’s iconic sequined green gown. Continuing my investigation, I discovered that the owner [of the dress] was a Golden Globe, what she wore that evening was none other than my friend @jeffleatham I saw it all as a sign that all the stars had aligned It will forever be one of the greatest privileges of my life to be able to channel my inner Marilyn in this way , on such a special night. Thanks to Heritage Auctions, Barbara Zweig and Jeff for helping create this memory,” Kim wrote.
This outfit of Marilyn is no less famous, because, despite the fact that in her short life she was played in many films, nevertheless, she was considered an actress of rather mediocre films, and received practically no awards.
However, the fact that it was Kim who wore the original dress raises many doubts, since her figure is very different from Monroe’s. Marilyn was also significantly taller than Kim. The photo that Kardashian posted on Instagram shows that the dress not only fits her perfectly in length, but also sits on the figure like a glove.
Presumably, this outfit is either a copy or has been modified specifically for the Kardashian figure. The first option is more real, although Kim’s Instagram post looks like she’s wearing the original. But in an interview for Vogue , Kardashian said that she has a copy of one of Marilyn Monroe’s outfits, but with an Oscar nomination.
“I have a copy of the dress she wore to the Oscars in 1962,” says Kardashian proudly. However, it is likely that the celebrity simply mixed up the ceremonies, because Monroe was present at the Oscars simply as a guest in 1951 and then she was wearing a black tulle dress with bare shoulders. Therefore, most likely, this emerald image is a copy, and the story on Instagram about the difficult pursuit of the dress is just a fiction.
It is also doubtful that in fact Kim did not fit into Monroe’s famous “naked” dress, it was simply tied with ribbons on her back. She covered the sign of the fifth point with a fur coat.
Since both dresses were worn by Marilyn Monroe in the spring of 1962, Kim would not have fit in the Golden Globe outfit, as well as in the famous “naked” dress.
