noting that Monroe was reportedly sewn into the dress for her presidential serenade. Kardashian picked it up from Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum in Orlando, who spent $4.81 million on it back in 2016.
It wasn't an exact match to the"In America: An Anthology of Fashion," theme, which was described as gilded glamour and white tie harkening back to the late 1800s, but it was definitely glamorous. It was also extremely short-lived, with Vogue further detailing that Kardashian slipped into the dress in a special dressing room adjacent to the red carpet, carefully shuffled down it on Davidson's arm, and then promptly switched into a replica for the event itself and the parties to follow.
