Kim Kardashian had drawn criticism for wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress at the Met Gala in 2022. This time, criticism came again from Bob Mackie, the designer who made a sketch of Monroe's iconic dress while entertaining President John F. Kennedy in 1962.

Reported by VOI from Page Six page on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, Mackie held a documentary screening entitled 'Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion' at 92NY. He spoke about the incident in an interview with a fashion expert, Fern Mallis.

When asked about Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress, Mackie did not immediately answer. However, he asked for opinions from the audience present.

"He (Mackie) was hesitant and asked the audience to give an opinion, do they think it's okay," a source told Page Six.

The response from the audience was in the form of loud cheers that clearly showed dislike.

Bobby just raised his shoulder and said, 'mistake is still wrong!' added the source.

This isn't the first time Mackie has criticized Kardashian for her decision to borrow a dress that was kept at her Believe It Or Not!. Previously, she told Entertainment Weekly, it was a big mistake for Kim Kardashian to wear the dress.

Marilyn is a goddess. Crazy goddess, but still a goddess. She is extraordinary. Nothing can be photographed like her. And it was made for her. It was designed for her. No one else should wear the dress," he said.

The dress that Marilyn Monroe wore while singing the song Happy Birthday, Mr. President to President John F. Kennedy in 1962 was designed by Jean Louis based on Bob Mackie's sketch.

The dress is famous for its body-fitting design, and is decorated with more than 6,000 crystals, creating the illusion of a elegant and elegant naked body.
