Kim Kardashian is a fashion icon for many people around the globe. However, on rare occasions, her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, is capable of showing her how to hit a real home run in terms of style.
Kardashian, 42, made an epic splash at the 2022 Met Gala by wearing Marilyn Monroe‘s “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress. It was an important fashion milestone for Kanye West‘s ex-wife.
However, it turned into a real debacle, and things did not go as planned for the billionaire SKIMS founder. Collector Scott Fortner even claimed that Kardashian damaged the dress.
Bob Mackie, the designer of the gown, also came out to say that Kardashian wearing the dress was a very bad idea. He told Entertainment Tonight at the time: “I thought it was a big mistake. [Marilyn] was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess. She was just fabulous. Nobody photographs like that. And it was done for her. It was designed for her. Nobody else should be seen in that dress.”
The reality TV superstar lost 20 pounds to wear the dress the proper way. This was not enough for her to get the moment right. Kardashian has moved on and is trying her best to forget about the fiasco.

However, her sister, Kylie Jenner, inadvertently brought the story to the forefront by wearing a similar dress at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2024 show during Paris Fashion Week on Thursday.
The 26-year-old mother of two looked amazing in her sparkly gold gown. The dress made it impossible to miss her sensational curves. To complement the look, Travis Scott‘s ex-girlfriend sported a wavy hairstyle.
Fashion experts say that Jenner hit all the right notes with the gown. They say that she watched her sister’s mistakes and made sure to avoid most of them.
Firstly, Jenner’s own was better fitted. Secondly, she opted for a modernized version of the Marilyn Monroe dress. Commentators find this move more appropriate as an homage. In clear terms, they feel that Kardashian should have done what Jenner did.
Moreover, fans say that Jenner has always chosen what appears to be a more authentic route for her career when compared to her older sibling.
Jenner has a lot going for her at the moment. She seems as happy as she has ever been. This kind of joy reflects well on her fashion choices.
The beauty maven is currently dating Dune actor Timothée Chalamet. The lovebirds made their romance official earlier this month.
