Kim Kardashian wore Monroe's dress 'for minutes' and wasn't trusted to sit down in it

Kim Kardashian has opened up about the effort that went into her wearing one of Marilyn Monroe’s historic dresses to the Met Gala – as it is revealed she only wore the gown for a few minutes.

The 41-year-old mum-of-five says she was terrified of accidentally destroying one of America’s most priceless pieces of history when she managed to convince the current owners of the dress that she should be allowed to wear it to the most obnoxious party on earth.
