Kim Kardashian wears iconic Marilyn Monroe dress to 2022 Met Gala

Abiding by the fashion event's Gilded Glamour theme, the reality TV star walked the famous steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York sporting the crystal-studded gown made by Jean Louis that the Hollywood actress famously donned to sing Happy Birthday, Mr. President to President John F. Kennedy in 1962. "It is a stunning skintight gown adorned with more than 6,000 hand-sewn crystals by costumier Jean Louis," wrote Kim in an Instagram post. The provocative dress was purchased by executives at Ripley's Believe It or Not! in 2016 for a staggering $4.8 million (£3.8 million).
