The TV personality ducked slightly to flaunt the ensemble as her platinum blonde locks were parted down the middle and flowed down in waves of light.
‘Marylin is that you!!?????’ asked another.
It comes two years after Kim wore Marilyn’s iconic ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. President’ dress to the Met Gala, sparking controversy.
The reality star revealed that she forced herself to lose 16 pounds in just three weeks to get in shape.
Marilyn’s sparkling beaded dress was designed by Jean Louis and has been on display at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum in Orlando, FL, after it was purchased at Julien’s Auction for $4.81 million.
She is famous for her outfit in Marilyn’s ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. President’ dress at the Met Gala in 2022.
Legend has it that the garment was so tight that Marilyn had to be sewn into the dress before her performance before the president.
Kim had the same struggle when she found out the dress didn’t fit her and started crying when she found out the dress couldn’t be altered.
Kanye West’s ex-wife said Fashion how she met a ruthlessly strict diet deadline to lose weight and wear the dress to the Met.
“I put on a sauna suit twice a day, ran on the treadmill, completely cut out sugar and carbs, and only ate vegetables and clean proteins,” she told the outlet. “She didn’t starve me, but she was very strict.”
Marilyn’s uniquely curvy figure and exact measurements have been debated for decades, but one dressmaker claimed she was 5’5″ tall, 35″ bust, 22″ waist, and 35″ hips. Her bra size was said to be 36D.
Kim once said of her own measurements: “I’m a size 27 in jeans… My measurements are 38, 26, 39. But remember, I’m 5’2″ and 1/2 and everyone carries their weight in different places.”
