Rage over Kim Kardashian's choice of dress: 'Irresponsible and unnecessary' | BT Celebrities - www.bt.dk Kim Kardashian attended this year's Met Gala in New York in a very special dress. It was the dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 when she sang her iconic birthday song to then-US President John F. Kennedy. However, not everyone is equally happy that the reality star borrowed the dress, which is on display at the 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' museum in Florida. "She could have made a copy - as she did - which was impossible to distinguish from the original. Such an iconic piece of American history should not be endangered because of an ego boost or a photo opportunity, ”says Dr. Justine De Young, who is a professor of fashion history, to. She calls it 'irresponsible and unnecessary'. At the same time, she points out that Kim Kardashian's comments about how she lost seven kilos in three weeks to be able to fit the dress send an unfortunate signal. Kim Kardashian only wore the original dress for a few minutes before jumping into the copy that Dr. Justine De Young mentions. Also, Scott Fortner, who is an expert on Marilyn Monroe's history and collector of the star's private belongings, believes it is problematic that Kim Kardashian pulled on the dress. »I can understand the allure of wearing such an iconic piece of clothing (...) But the dress was made specifically for Marilyn Monroe. It's not just a piece of clothing off the shelf. It was made by Oscar-winning designer Jean Luis. ”He thinks it is logical that seams and fabric have now been damaged, as Kim Kardashian - according to him - can hardly have exactly the same goal as Marilyn Monroe. The dress is quite valuable. 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' thus bought it in 2016 at an auction, and it cost them as much as 34 million kroner. The main character himself has also commented on the spectacular dress choice. “I am extremely respectful of the dress and what it means to American history. I would never sit in it or eat in it, so there was no risk of injury, nor would I wear the body makeup I normally wear, ”she told Vogue ahead of the Met Gala.
