Kim Kardashian è nota per molte cose nella sua vita, come il reality show di successo della sua famiglia, il suo dramma con Kanye “Ye” West, i suoi molteplici marchi e, naturalmente, il suo senso della moda. La madre di quattro figli mostra regolarmente il suo abbigliamento sui social media; e la maggior parte delle volte, è intrisa di marchi di stilisti. Uno dei momenti più chiacchierati della star dell’anno è arrivato al Met Gala del 2022, dove Kim ha sfoggiato uno degli abiti iconici di Marilyn Monroe all’evento.
In an interview with Today, Kim told hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb that it took a lot of hard work to be able to rock the dress, but she was determined to do it. So, she ate healthily and lost weight. “It taught me a lot about my lifestyle and my health,” she said of the experience of slimming down. “I’m not trying to lose any more weight, but I have more energy than ever. I cut out so much sugar, a lot of junk food I was eating … I just completely changed my lifestyle.” Kim rocking the dress also came with plenty of other controversy, and many slammed the star for “ruining” it.
However, Kim clapped back at rumors that she returned the dress in poor condition in an interview with Vogue. “I’m extremely respectful to the dress and what it means to American history,” she shared, adding that she would never “eat in it” or risk any damage. And believe it or not, the moment almost never happened.

There’s no doubt that Kim Kardashian’s iconic Met Gala dress was one of the most talked-about garments of the evening, so it’s hard to believe that the moment almost wasn’t. According to People, Kim chatted about the dress on an episode of her family’s hit Hulu show, “The Kardashians,” confessing to her sisters, Khloé Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, that when she initially got the dress, it didn’t fit. “They just pulled the whole thing from me. And I’m fuming,” she told them at lunch.
The footage then showed Kim struggling to try on the dress. “When I went to put it on, it wouldn’t even go on over my hips, and I was just like devastated,” she explained. Kim then vowed to her team that she would do everything in her power to make the dress work, including losing 10 pounds. And if it wouldn’t work? Kim said that she wouldn’t attend the Met Gala. “I wrote them a groveling begging email,” Kim said, referring to the owners of the dress. “They were very firm. I just found that out today, so I’m devastated.”
As we all know, Kim ended up wearing the dress and walking the red carpet alongside her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson. In true Kim form, she shared photos with fans on Instagram, including one where she posed next to Davidson. “MET 2022,” she wrote in the simple caption. The post has racked up over 5 million likes and 34,000 comments as of this writing.
