New scandal: Kim Kardashian accused of ruining Marilyn Monroe’s iconic ‘naked’ dress

The most popular dress this year is Marilyn Monroe’s undisputed “naked” dress by designer Jean Louis, created according to a sketch by the legendary American fashion designer Bob Mackie. The movie star wore it to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962. By the way, they say that it was sewn directly on Marilyn to achieve the effect of a “second skin”. When the actress took the stage, she looked completely naked. Needless to say, he made an indelible impression on all guests of the event.

This year, the main girl of our time, Kim Kardashian, decided to repeat the success. She appeared at the Costume Institute Met Gala in a Monroe dress. To wear it, the star had to lose 7 kilograms in three weeks.

Right, it didn’t help. A day after the incident, the internet was flooded with photos of Kim unable to tie her dress. Therefore, throughout the red carpet, she covered herself in a snow-white fur cape.

And now a new scandal is on the horizon. Photos posted online by collector Scott Fortner show that the dress was visibly damaged after Kim wore it. Holes appeared along the back buckle and several rhinestones and sequins fell off completely. For comparison, pictures of the 2016 dress are presented.

Users immediately blamed Kim Kardashian for ruining the dress, and a real debate broke out on the Web about how right it is to give historical stuff to influencers. “Now, fashion conservatives, collection managers and curators will come under pressure from fashion influencers who think they should be able to wear items in their costume collections because after all it’s just a dress, not an irreplaceable fragile material culture,” – Sarah Scaturro, former head of the Costume Institute Conservation Department .
