Kim Kardashian dons Marilyn Monroe’s "Happy Birthday Mr. President" gown to 2022 Met Gala
Kim Kardashian arrived as a star attraction to the 2022 Met Gala simply due to the "Kardashians" star's statement piece -- a 60-year-old ball gown that Marilyn Monroe donned in 1962 when she sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" to John F. Kennedy in 1962.
The Skims founder said she had to lose 16 pounds in order to fit her curvy physique into the dress but said it was all worth it in the end.
“This is Marilyn Monroe's dress and it’s 60 years old. And she wore this when she sang 'Happy Birthday' to President John F Kennedy in 1962," Kardashian told LaLa Anthony on the Gala red carpet. "I had this idea to put it on and try it on and then they came with armed guards and gloves and I tried it on and it didn't fit me. And so I looked at them and I said, 'Give me like three weeks,' and I had to lose 16 pounds down today to be able to fit this. But it was such a challenge. It was like a role. I was determined!”
She quipped that she hasn't eaten any carbs in some three weeks and will immediately indulge on pizza and donuts at her hotel after the gala.

Kylie Jenner, Rihanna
The 2022 Met Gala theme has gotten some mixed reactions.
The much-anticipated Met Gala is back on the first Monday in May this year following a brief hiatus due to the coronavirus. Guests attending part two of September's event have been told the theme is "Gilded Glamour and White Tie."
As usual, the sartorial theme comes from the exhibit the gala launches — "In America: An Anthology of Fashion," which is the second of star curator Andrew Bolton’s two-part show exploring the roots of American style.
However, many thought it ironic considering the current state of the American economy. The U.S. economy shrank at a 1.4% annual rate last quarter despite solid spending by consumers and businesses.
