Kim Kardashian looked âgood as f***,â according to Lizzo, when she walked the 2022 MET Gala red carpet with her boyfriend, Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson, by her side on Monday evening (May 2). The model and businesswoman arrived in a stunning evening gown with her blonde hair pulled back in a tight bun â and she revealed to La La Anthony on the Vogue Red Carpet Stream that the eye-popping look had quite the back story.
Kardashian wore the dress previously worn by legendary actress Marilyn Monroe. Itâs the iconic dress Monroe wore in 1962, when she sang âHappy Birthdayâ to President John F. Kennedy. Furthermore, it took some preparation on the Keeping Up With The Kardashians alumâs part to be able to wear the dress that evening. Kardashian told Anthony that in order to fit into it, sheâd have to lose 16 pounds â and she was âdeterminedâ to make it work (and will have a âpizza and donut partyâ after the Gala).
âThe idea really came to me after the gala in September last year. I thought to myself, what would I have done for the American theme if it had not been the Balenciaga look? Whatâs the most American thing you can think of? And thatâs Marilyn Monroe,â Kardashian said, per Vogue. âFor me the most Marilyn Monroe moment is when she sang âHappy Birthday,â to JFK, it was that look.â See the stunning look here:
