NEW YORK: Kim Kardashian went for classic and iconic at the Met Gala, once again breaking the internet by donning one of Marilyn Monroe’s most famous looks.
The $5 million dollar dress was worn by Monroe in 1962 when she sang “Happy Birthday” to former President John F. Kennedy.
Kardashian wore the dress while accompanied by her boyfriend, “SNL” comedian Pete Davidson, in the couple’s second red carpet outing.
Monroe’s dress was sold to Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Orlando for nearly $5 million in 2016. Internet sleuths guessed Kardashian would wear the dress after she and Davidson were spotted in Orlando recently.
