Kim Kardashian has said she successfully lost 16lbs in the three weeks running up to Monday night’s Met Gala in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress.
The reality TV star said she was devastated when she realised she didn't fit into the dress during a first try-on, after thinking it would actually be too large on her figure.
She said she was determined to lose weight so she could showcase the dress for photos on the red carpet on Monday, and compared it to ‘preparing for a role.’
