Kim Kardashian goes all Marilyn Monroe again

Kim Kardashian goes all Marilyn Monroe again

With Marilyn Monroe's Dress, Kim Kardashian Had Misfortune at the Met Gala in 2022. To avoid any mishaps this time, the 43-year-old is shooting for a photoshoot where she is styled like the famous sex icon, barely wearing anything.

In 2022, Kim Kardashian wore an original Marilyn Monroe dress to the Met Gala, and allegedly damaged it. For her current photoshoot, where she is styled with platinum blonde hair and a bedroom look like Monroe, she need not worry about a zipper bursting or a button popping. Since Kardashian is wearing practically nothing, she dons a tight bikini with leopard print and a transparent net dress, showcasing her curves, which are as famous today as Monroe's were in the 50s.

Kardashian is noticeably more daring than the sex icon of yesteryears. While Monroe in the film "The Misfits" showed only a little leg under her white dress billowing over a subway grate, Kardashian is not satisfied with half measures. One of the photos reveals her bare bottom prominently under the transparent dress. Those who look closely seem to be able to see her nipples as well.

Many of Kardashian's followers are convinced that her styling was deliberately intended to evoke memories of the Blonde Bombshell. "Marilyn Monroe vibes from the 60s," "Elegant and sexy like Marilyn," or "You're not telling me that's not Marilyn Monroe?!" are just a few of the numerous comments about Kardashian's transformation.

Criticism of the Appearance in Marilyn's Dress

The feedback was significantly more positive than two years ago when Kardashian caused a stir because she allegedly ruined the iconic dress in which Monroe sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to President John F. Kennedy.

Kardashian had specifically fitted herself into the gown, for which she was heavily criticized beforehand. However, after her Met Gala appearance, Scott Fortner, who manages the world's largest collection of Monroe's personal belongings, posted several photos of the dress on his Instagram account "The Marilyn Monroe Collection," which showed that several crystals were completely missing, others only hanging by a thread, and the fabric around the zipper was torn. Fortner claimed this at the time.

However, Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum, which owns the dress, denied the allegations: "Whether Kim Kardashian wore the 'Happy Birthday' Dress was hotly contested. But the fact is, she did not damage the garment in any way during the short time it was worn at the Met-Gala."

1. The photoshoot featuring Kim Kardashian mimicking Marilyn Monroe's iconic fashion style shows a striking contrast to the controversy that surrounded Kardashian's wearing of Monroe's dress at the Met Gala in 2022.
2. In the new photoshoot, unlike the Met Gala incident where she was accused of damaging the dress, Kardashian is carefully styled with a tight bikini and a transparent net dress, preventing any wardrobe malfunctions like zipper bursting or button popping.
3. The fashion transformation of Kim Kardashian in the photoshoot, reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe, has sparked a flurry of comments on social media platforms like Instagram, with many fans comparing her look to the fashion Icon of the 50s.
