Monroe's experts against Kim's dress in Matt Gala: That dress is a national treasure.

Some experts at Marilyn Monroe were far from happy when Kim Kardashian climbed the stairs on Monday in Matt Gala dressed in Hollywood legend's most iconic dress.

Kim borrowed from Orandoés Ripley's Bellies It or Not the beige dress that Monroe ear in 1962 to sing “President John F. Kennedy. The museum used to pay $5 million to get the famous dress.

Kardashian forced himself to lose weight to get into that dress, yet many people were surprised by the discovery of the 60-year-old dress.

I'm extremely disappointed to see this 60-year-old icon dress dressed in public”, " said The Post, Michelle Morgan, author of the history of 2018 “The Girl: Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Years Itch, and the Birth of an Unlikely Religious Father”.

“Fustan is extremely delicate and has previously been kept in temperature-controlled conditions, but now there he is, not only wearing but also in a red carpet environment where anything could have happened,” She continued.

Morgan noted that sweat, perfume, and makeup may have entered the garment and caused damage and stain. However, Kardashian is said to have gone to that event without an inch. Moreover, a representative from Ripley's told The Post that she showed the highest “respect for the dress.

“This was not an easy decision for Ripley, however, Kim Kardashian has continued to show the utmost respect for this possibility and historical dress”, the spokesman said in a statement. “From extensive research to following instructions such as no makeup, wearing a dress only for short appearance on the red carpet and making absolutely no changes, she has cared for the maximum. ”

Ripley also told The Post that no damage had happened to the dress.

Nina Boci, documentary producer and television podcast “Marielyn: Behind the Icon” supported Morgan's position, saying that the viral moment of Kardashian “is not a positive memory of the star”.

“I can understand why Kim would like to wear the dress for publicity purposes; however, the dress should have been worn only by one person, and that's the Marilyn Monroe” icon, Boci said. This does not help Marilyn's legacy, especially on the 60th anniversary of her death. ”

Scott Fortner is a historian and collector of Marilyn Monroe and also gave his opinion on Kim's dress in Matt Gala.

“Kim broke the Internet [with her looks] and was an opportunity for and for Ripley”, Fortner told The Post. “ [But] fans are indignant because it's one of those things in Marilyn community that is considered sacred. The dress is the main element of Marilyn Monroe and is once worn by her. ”

Fortner firmly stated that the dress garment, which he called “a national treasure”, should have remained something once done by Monroe himself.

No one should have restored this dress”, Fortner said. It's hard because [Karadashian] is one of the most influential people in the world. If it were up to me, I wouldn't have allowed it simply because of the importance of the part in American cultural history. But let me be clear, this has nothing to do with Kim Kardashian”, he added.

In the statement to The Post, Ripley's organisation also praised the precautions taken to protect the garment.

It Or Not! It is a private-owned stock company in order to inspire and entertain guests of all ages in nonconventional ways. We're very proud to have our “Happy Birthday” and we've consulted numerous textile experts and conservatives for this effort,” added Ripley. “While no one was decisively pro or against Kim's dress, their contribution helped us to create a series of precautions and procedures for Matt Gala. This caution was effective because there was no damage to the event last night. ”

The spokesman noted that the dress would return on Wednesday, May 4th, to “Ripley formerly, a dark room, controlled with temperature (68 degrees) and humidity (40 50 50%), where it remains in its box, mounted and covered in stomach-free cotton. Form helps prevent folding and stress in the dress, while clothing protects it from light, humidity, and environmental pollutants. ”

Meanwhile, Monroe fans also shared their opinions on social media, apparently against wearing the dress by Kim Kardashian.
