Red carpet run-in. Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson attended the Met Gala 2022 moments before his ex-girlfriends, Kaia Gerber and Phoebe Dynevor, walked the red carpet.
Kim and Pete made their Met Gala debut at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on May 2, 2022, where they walked the red carpet arm in arm with Kim’s family: mom Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. Pete dressed in a classic black suit, while Kim wore a vintage Marilyn Monroe dress designed by French designer Jean-Louis. The dress, which was embellished with more than six thousand crystals, was famously worn by Monroe at President John F. Kennedy’s 45th birthday party in 1962. Monroe paired the dress with white fur coat, which she took off as she serenaded the president with a rendition of “Happy Birthday.”
“The idea really came to me after the gala in September last year. I thought to myself, what would I have done for the American theme if it had not been the Balenciaga look? What’s the most American thing you can think of? And that’s Marilyn Monroe,” Kim, who dyed her hair platinum blonde for the Met Gala, told Vogue. “For me the most Marilyn Monroe moment is when she sang “Happy Birthday,” to JFK, it was that look.” She added, “Nowadays everyone wears sheer dresses, but back then that was not the case. In a sense, it’s the original naked dress. That’s why it was so shocking.”

According to Vogue, Monroe paid Jean-Louis $1,440 for the custom dress, which was first sold at an auction in 1999 for more than $1 million as part of Monroe’s estate with Christie’s. It sold again for $4.8 million at Julien’s Actions in 2016
