JAKARTA - Kim Kardashian appeared surprising when wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress for the 2022 Met Gala. However, her appearance actually invited controversy and blasphemy from netizens.

Kim Kardashian is known to appear at the Met Gala with her boyfriend, Pete Davidson. It was a “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” that Marilyn Monroe wore to John F. Kennedy's 1962 birthday.

This dress is on display at the Ripley's Believe It or Not! In Orlando, Florida. But somehow Kim Kardashian was able to get this original dress for her Gala look.

This iconic dress turned out to be blasphemy and warning from fashion observers Dr. Justine De Young.

Quoting PEOPLE, the fashion history professor considered Kim's choice of clothes irresponsible and unimportant.

“She (Kim Kardashian) can order a replica that is the same as the original. An iconic piece of American history must not be damaged just for the sake of ego-boosting and shooting," said Dr. Justine De Young on Tuesday, May 3.

“That dress was made especially for Marilyn Monroe, not an off the shelf. It was created by designer Jean Luis who designed Marilyn's last two films: The Misfits and Something's Got to Give,” added Scott Forner, Marilyn Monroe collector.

Kim Kardashian also became controversial after saying she was willing to lose 7 kg in order to wear a dress that fits. According to him, Kim's statement can glorify a strict diet that does not suit the current generation.

Fortner said this dress really fits Marilyn Monroe's body because it was designed for her. In contrast to Kim Kardashian who had to cut a few kg for the dress.
