KIM KARDASHIAN WORE A 60 YEARS OLD ICONIC DRESS.

Kim Kardashian shut down the Met Gala red carpet Monday in one of Marilyn Monroe’s most iconic dresses, a gold-beaded body hugger Monroe wore when she sexily sang happy birthday to President John F. Kennedy 60 years ago.
Kardashian had to lose 16 pounds to fit into the dress, designed by Jean Louis and purchased in 2016 by Ripley’s museum in Orlando, Florida, for a whopping $4.81 million.
It was so tight Monroe had to be sewn into it when she purred “Happy birthday, Mr. president” on May 19, 1962, at a Madison Square Garden fundraiser. She died three months later.
It has been known as the “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress ever since.
