Kim Kardashian Knew She Was Going to Get Hate for Wearing Marilyn Monroe Dress to Met Gala 2022

Kim Kardashian anticipated all of the criticism she knew she was going to receive ahead of the 2022 Met Gala.

During the latest episode of The Kardashians that debuted at midnight on Thursday (November 9), the 42-year-old reality star opened up about all the preparation she underwent in order to wear Marilyn Monroe‘s iconic dress to the big event.

“All of this — this losing weight, dyeing the hair for 30 hours, leaving the hotel in a robe, getting there, changing on the red carpet, just walking to the red carpet, then changing again into a replica of the dress because we can’t risk sitting in it and eating dinner — is all for maybe 10 minutes of my life … like, that’s it,” Kim said.

Kim then admitted she anticipated people taking issue with her wearing Marilyn‘s dress.

“I’m a little nervous some people will hate, and just be like, ‘How dare she think she can step into Marilyn’s dress’” Kim said. “And I get that.”

Kim‘s hairstylist Chris Appleton then told her that she’s like the “modern day Marilyn,” but Kim doesn’t think she is.

“You know I don’t want say, ‘Oh my god yeah I’m the modern day Marilyn,’ because I don’t think that,” Kim responded.

“I love that Marilyn was a normal girl that figured it out and became the most famous woman in the entire world,” Kim explained. “It’s just fascinating.”

A producer then responded, “That sounds like someone we know.”

With that, Kim slyly questioned, “Who?” – with a grin on her face.

If you missed it, Kim addressed allegations that she ruined Marilyn‘s dress after wearing it to the Met Gala.
