Pizza party! Kim Kardashian threw a pizza and donuts party in her hotel room after going on a strict diet to fit into Marilyn Monroe‘s dress for the 2022 Met Gala.
“So after the Met, I am starving,” the Skims founder, 41, said on Monday, May 2, while showing off the donut bar set up by The Doughnuttery via her Instagram Story. “And my favorite donuts in the entire world, in New York City are these mini donuts.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum paired the iconic ensemble with a bleach-blonde hairdo and a white fur wrap, while her boyfriend, Pete Davidson,
