That power play appears to have been Kim Kardashian’s plan for getting into the vintage dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 when she publicly serenaded President John F. Kennedy 10 days before his 45th birthday.
“I flew all the way to Florida to try on the Marilyn dress at Ripley’s. They were not going to let me wear this dress. They weren’t even going to let me try it on until Kris Jenner calls,” Kardashian said in a confessional on this week’s episode of Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” explaining that — as seen on the show the week prior — her first shot at getting the dress up had been a big fail.
