00:00Kim Kardashian reveals she has one major regret over her Marilyn Monroe 2022 Met Gala outfit.
00:08Kim Kardashian drew backlash for wearing Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress to the 2022 Met Gala,
00:15and three years later, the 45-year-old says she has one regret. In a recent Kardashian's
00:20confessional, Kim said her only regret about the Met Gala wasn't wearing the fragile Ripley's dress,
00:26but dyeing her brunette roots platinum blonde for the event.
00:30Kim explained on her Hulu show,
00:32The dress she wore was Monroe's beaded gown from her 1962 Happy Birthday Mr. President performance,
00:50and she and hairstylist Chris Appleton chose a Marilyn blonde look for the night.
00:56The TV star admitted she kept stressing over the choice, saying,
00:59I've actually photoshopped it 500 different ways after the fact, like last year, to see. Do you want
01:05to see? Because I've tortured Chris Appleton on this decision. She wondered, should it have been a
01:11Marilyn vibe hair in blonde? Should it have been more of a Jackie O dark? As she showed producers
01:17the edited options. Ripley's, believe it or not, bought Monroe's dress at a 2016 Julian's auction for
01:23$4.8 million, and it's now valued at $10 million. Fans slammed her for taking the original dress out
01:30of the archives. She also lost 16 pounds in three weeks by cutting carbs and sugar to fit into the
01:36gown. The idea really came to me after the gala in September last year. I thought to myself, what would I have
01:43done for the American theme if it had not been the Balenciaga look? What's the most American thing
01:48you can think of? And that's Marilyn Monroe, Kardashian told Vogue in 2022.
