.kimkardashian went through a lot for this iconic metgala moment:
With her equally legendary, but slightly larger, curves, Kardashian decided to lose weight — 16 pounds, she said during's livestream — to fit into Monroe's dress, rather than wear something else. She also dyed her hair platinum blonde, which took 14 hours, and had a special, secret room set up near the Met steps, equipped with a conservationist to help her change right before her turn on the carpet.
Sheer, figure-hugging and embellished with crystals, the dress is akin to something Kardashian might wear for any old night out at Nobu, but in 1962 it was scandalous, eliciting audible gasps when Monroe took off her fur coat to reveal it.
