Kim Kardashian "tried everything" to fit into Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress for the 2022 Met Gala.

It's not just about looking pretty. It has to be a story, it has to be a whole vibe. And this dress is such a good story," the 42-year-old explained.
Earlier in the episode, Kim claimed that she can "squeeze into anything" due to the width of her shoulders. "No one trusted us; for years, they would never send samples. And then once I would get to Paris and try on the samples, they would be like, 'Oh, wait, she actually fits in our stuff.
