Kim Kardashian Says Her 2022 Met Gala Regret Was Going Blonde, Not the Marilyn Monroe Dress

Her new on-show confession reframes the moment as a styling misfire rather than a dispute over a museum gown.

Overview

  • In a post-credits confessional that aired Nov. 27 on The Kardashians, she said she wishes she had kept a darker, Jackie O–style hairstyle.
  • Kardashian said she went ultra-blonde despite warnings, has since “tortured” hairstylist Chris Appleton, and even photoshopped darker hair onto the look.
  • The dress was Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 Jean Louis gown owned by Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, bought at Julien’s Auction for about $4.81 million.
  • Ripley’s executive Amanda Joiner has said the gown was returned in the same condition, and Kardashian has denied causing any damage in a Vanity Fair segment.
  • Kardashian described rapid weight loss, on-site changing for the red carpet, and a quick swap into a replica for the party to reduce risk to the original.
