Kim Kardashian has been accused of inflicting “permanent damage” to the iconic Marilyn Monroe dress that the reality star sported at the Met Gala on May 2. According to Variety, Kardashian struck a deal with Ripley’s Believe It or Not to wear the gold “Happy Birthday” dress, which has been valued at nearly $5 million, to the star-studded fashion event. The decision was met with pushback, initially because of Kardashian’s comments about losing weight for the event. Professional conservators at the time also spoke out, saying it was ill-advised to wear any clothing item with so much history, no matter the reason or the person. “I’m frustrated because it sets back what is considered professional treatment for historic costume,” one conservator told the L.A. Times. Now, a Marilyn Monroe collector has claimed that “permanent damage” has been inflicted by the Kardashians star on the iconic dress Monroe wore to serenade John F Kennedy on his 45th birthday, shortly before the actor’s death.
