American TV personality Kim Kardashian, who stepped out for the 2022 Met Gala as a Marilyn Monroe look-alike, has revealed the lengths she went to for the transformation.
While walking the 2022 Met Gala Red Carpet, the theme of which was 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion', Kim donned Marilyn's original 60-year-old dress that she had worn while famously singing "Happy Birthday Mr President" to John F. Kennedy in 1962, according to E! News.
The outlet reported that while speaking to a fashion magazine, Kim revealed that in order to fit into the dress she had to lose 16 pounds in three weeks. "It was such a challenge. It was like a role. I was determined to fit," she said.
The SKIMS founder further said that for a fitting at her residence, the outfit had to be flown on a private plane from Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum. It was transported by guards and she had to wear gloves to try it on.
Apart from her Marilyn makeover, Kim also debuted a new blonde hairstyle as she stepped onto the red carpet with her boyfriend Pete Davidson, who was dressed in a Dior suit and sunglasses at the event.
