Kim Kardashian's Bold Met Gala Fashion Journey

Kim Kardashian's Met Gala presence spans over a decade, marked by a series of memorable and often debated fashion moments. Her first appearance on the iconic steps was in 2013, accompanying her then-husband, Kanye West. By 2015, she had become a regular, stunning attendees in a crystal-embroidered gown by Roberto Cavalli.

Her attendance in 2022 sparked considerable controversy when she borrowed Marilyn Monroe's historic "Happy Birthday" dress. This garment, worn by Monroe to sing for President John F. Kennedy in 1962, was loaned by Ripley's Believe It or Not!. Kardashian underwent a rigorous diet, losing 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into the delicate slip dress.

Following the event, claims surfaced that Kardashian had damaged the irreplaceable artifact. Both Kardashian and Ripley's vehemently denied these accusations, asserting that the dress sustained no additional rips or tears during its temporary use.
