At the 2022 Met Gala, Kim Kardashian cosplayed Marilyn Monroe.
For this year's Gilded Glamour-themed event, Kardashian didn't just channel the American icon, she wore the exact dress Monroe wore for her iconic "Happy Birthday" performance for President John F. Kennedy on May 19, 1962 at a Madison Square Garden fundraiser. The gold beaded dress was designed by Jean Louis and originally cost $12,000. Ripley's Believe It or Not! currently has the dress on display in Orlando after purchasing it for $4.81 million in 2016.
Kardashian, who will always go above and beyond for a look, went blonde to fully embody the Old Hollywood star. Her go-to celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton transformed her signature waist-length jet black hair platinum blonde and styled it in a slicked-back bun.
