Kim Kardashian returns heavily damaged Marilyn Monroe dress

The dress that had everyone talking during this year’s Met Gala is again making headlines

Kim Kardashian was dressed in Marilyn Monroe’s famous dress which was originally worn while singing Happy Birthday to John F Kennedy in 1962.

But in Instagram photos shared by the account of Marilyn Monroe’s collection the dress was returned heavily damaged.

The profile posted a side by side photo of before and after the iconic dress was worn with the latest image showing tears, missing and hanging crystals and stretched material.

‘Ripleys Believe It Or Not’ says “great care was taken to preserve this piece of pop culture history” with “no alterations” made to the dress and Kim changing “into a replica after the red carpet”.

The garment is now on display at Ripley’s Hollywood location.
