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 U.S museum has denied claims that an iconic Marilyn Monroe gown was left damaged.

A Ripley executive says “From the bottom of the Met steps, where Kim got into the dress, to the top where it was returned, the dress was in the same condition it started in,”

Ripley’s said that a condition report from 2017 stated “a number of the seams are pulled and worn.

The iconic number is now estimated to be worth more than $10 million.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the United States.

President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to find a new owner—or face a ban in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.

Threads, the social media platform owned by Meta, is gaining traction with a surge in daily active users, outpacing X in the U.S.

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
