Marilyn Monroe’s designer calls Kim Kardashian a ‘mistake’

Kim Kardashian wearing the legendary “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress of the late Marilyn Monroe at Met Gala 2022 caused mixed reactions. Most recently, the famous 82-year-old designer Bob Mackie – who sketched this dress – expressed displeasure with this incident. Accordingly, he confirmed that the dress was designed by him exclusively for Marilyn Monroe.

“This was a big mistake. Marilyn is a goddess, truly a goddess. She is so amazing, no one takes pictures like that, and yet she does it. The dress was designed specially designed for her. No one else should wear this dress.”the disgruntled designer told Entertainment Weekly.

Before that, many viewers were also outraged and pathetically disparaged this moment of Kim Kardashian on the red carpet. Even many people expressed concern about the fact that the eldest sister of the Kardashian family wore a dress that could “danger” to precious treasures. Kim Kardashian’s side also later confirmed that she did not wear body makeup so that she could keep the dress intact and not dirty it.

However, the representative of the late icon said that Marilyn Monroe would be delighted to see her dress worn at the fashion party. Met Gala. Specifically, according to information from TMZ, the president of Authentic Brands Group – the company that operates Monroe’s real estate – has said that he and his colleagues believe that the star Gentleman Prefer Blondes would “celebrate” when her clothes were worn again, citing similarities between the two women.

This legendary dress was worn by Marilyn in 1962, on the birthday of President John F. Kennedy. This is considered a precious memento of the female star, and is also considered a “national treasure”.
