Kris Jenner Is Main Reason Kim Kardashian Was Able To Don Marilyn Monroe Dress

Months after Kim Kardashian wore the famous nude dress to the Met Gala once worn by legend Marilyn Monroe, new details have emerged as to how the reality star was granted permission.

Yes, Kris Jenner had everything to do with Kim getting permission to wear the one-of-a-kind dress worn by Monroe while she sung “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” to President John F. Kennedy back in 1962.

How Did Securing The Marilyn Dress All Go Down?

The details of how all of it went down was shared during the latest episode of The Kardashians on Hulu. In the episode it is revealed that Jenner was the one who called and spoke with the Ripley’s Believe Ir or Not! museum.

The 67-year-old worked to persuade the museum, who initially didn’t want to loan the dress to Kim Kardashian for the Met Gala. Later, as fans will recall, Kim was accused of damaging the dress following the event.

“They were not gonna let me wear this dress. They weren’t even gonna let me try it on — until Kris Jenner calls,” Kim shared during a confessional in the latest episode.

Kim went to mom Kris and told her what was going on. “I was like, ‘Please, Mom, if you make this happen I’ll marry you,’” Kim recalled. “I would have done anything.”

Kris Jenner didn’t share exactly what she “I cannot tell you my secrets,” she said. “But if somebody says no, you know what I say: You’re talking to the wrong person.”

Kim then went on to detail what she went through to wear the dress Ripley only lent her to wear on the red carpet. The 42-yeear-old put in a lot of work to don the dress for just minutes.

“All of this — this losing weight, dyeing the hair for 30 hours, leaving the hotel in a robe, getting there, changing on the red carpet, just walking to the red carpet, then changing again into a replica of the dress because we can’t risk sitting in it and eating dinner — is all for maybe 10 minutes of my life … like, that’s it,” Kardashian shared.
