NEW YORK — The outfit Kim Kardashian squeezed into for the 2022 Met Gala was a fashion faux pas.
That’s according to fashion designer Bob Mackie, who said the reality TV superstar made a “big mistake” by wearing the same gown Marilyn Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy, Jr. at Madison Square Garden 60 years earlier.
“I thought it was a big mistake,” the 82-year-old designer told Entertainment Weekly. “[Marilyn] was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess. She was just fabulous. Nobody photographs like that. And it was done for her. It was designed for her. Nobody else should be seen in that dress.”
