Kim Kardashian, a model and entrepreneur from the United States, attended the Met Gala costume show. The dress she wore has now become the Talk of the Town.
Met Gala 2022
Met Gala is one of the most popular fashion shows in the United States. Movie stars, modeling professionals and businesspersons usually attend this festival. The festival aims to raise funds for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Kim Kardashian, who came to the costume show, wore the dress of the famous Marilyn Monroe. This surprised everyone who came to the event.
Marilyn Monroe's dress
The late Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe still has fans all over the world today. Monroe, who dominated the film industry to that extent, was a special guest at a fundraising event in 1962 attended by then US President John F. Kennedy. Wearing a heavy white overcoat, Monroe took off her overcoat on stage.
Monroe wore a unique dress emblazoned with special gemstones by hand throughout the inside. It was made by famous fashion designer Jean Lewis. The dress has been popular ever since.
Auction
At the event, which was attended by 15,000 people, Monroe stunned everyone by calling it "Happy Birthday President" ahead of Kennedy's birthday in the next 10 days. After her death, this dress was considered a priceless asset. Because of this, when Monroe's clothing came up for auction in 2016, there was fierce competition to buy it. The dress was eventually auctioned for $ 4.81 million (Rs 36.8 crore in Indian currency).
This is the dress that Kim Kardashian is currently wearing to the Met Gala Festival.
