Open to learning. Kim Kardashian shared a cryptic message after receiving criticism for dropping 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday Mr. President” dress for the 2022 Met Gala.
“Be teachable. Be open. You’re not always right,” the Wednesday, May 4 post read via Instagram stories.
Kardashian, 41, revealed on the red carpet at the Monday, May 2, Met Gala that the first time she tried on the famous garment, it didn’t fit. “So I looked at them and I said, ‘give me, like three weeks,’” the SKIMS CEO recalled. “It was such a challenge, it was like a role.

Riverdale star Lili Reinhart took to social media on Tuesday, May 3 to speak out against The Kardashians star’s comments.

The Hustlers actress, who noted she wasn’t slamming Kardashian for attention, continued, “To openly admit to starving yourself for the sake of the Met Gala.
