Kim Kardashian has addressed the controversy surrounding the rapid Met Gala weight loss she underwent to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic Bob Mackie dress from 1962. The 41-year-old reality star drew criticism when she arrived at the 2022 Met Gala in a gown made famous by Marilyn Monroe. The sheer dress was previously worn by Marilyn Monroe in 1962 when she sang to President John F Kennedy on his 45th birthday.
Marilyn Monroe Dress Designer Bob Mackie Calls Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala Look a ‘Big Mistake’

The debate regarding Kim Kardashian’s 2022 Met Gala look continues. Bob Mackie, who sketched Marilyn Monroe’s infamous “Happy Birthday” dress, has made it clear he isn’t happy the Kardashians star borrowed the gown for the fundraiser earlier this month.
“I thought it was a big mistake,” the designer told Entertainment Weekly. “[Marilyn] was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess. She was just fabulous. Nobody photographs like that. And it was done for her. It was designed for her. Nobody else should be seen in that dress.”
Kardashian, 41, made waves at the New York City event on May 2 when she stepped out in the 1962 gown Monroe wore when she sang “Happy Birthday” to then-President John F. Kennedy. The dress, which was designed by Jean Louis — who Mackie worked for as an assistant at the time — was loaned to the Skims founder by Ripley’s Believe or Not! The museum, however, only allowed Kardashian to wear the actual dress for a brief period of time. She then changed into a replica.
”There are all the issues with the actual preservation of the dress and things like oxygen can affect a dress,” Turner Classic Movies host Alicia Malone, who is promoting the Follow the Thread series with Mackie, told EW. “Usually, these outfits are kept very much in controlled environments and we see that with the Met. The Costume Institute is so careful about how they are handling these historic items. So, it was quite alarming that she was able to wear it. I personally wish she wore a replica instead of the real thing.”
Malone added that you “can draw many parallels between Marilyn Monroe and Kim Kardashian,” but referred to the reality star’s decision to wear the dress as a PR stunt.
“Marilyn Monroe was someone who also loved to create
