The Nov. 3 episode of The Kardashians featured Kim Kardashian making ready for the 2022 Met Gala. At first, Kim wasn’t even planning on attending the occasion. “I wasn’t going to go to the Met because I was like…how do I top last year with Balenciaga? It was such a moment,” she defined. “And it’s the same theme [this year], so I was like…it’s fine to sit one out. Never in my days did I ever think when I was not invited that I would say I would sit one out.”

However, Kim was “excited” to have the ability to create her personal “vision” with out Kanye West on the Met Gala. She got here up with the thought to put on Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown to the occasion. “When I thought of this idea, I immediately called Julien’s Auctions because I knew that’s who sold [the dress],” Kim revealed. “They said they sold it to Ripley’s Believe it or Not and would put me in contact with them. The conversation went amazing. They said I can try on the dress. I’m fascinated by Marilyn. I love that she did things her way. She transformed herself to be this complete icon and now everyone on the planet knows who she is. Much respect.”

A number of days later, Kim acquired a reproduction of the Marilyn gown to strive on. “If this does not fit me, I can’t even try on the original,” she revealed. “The width of my shoulders and my body makes me like a shape-shifter. I can squeeze into anything. But no one trusted us for years. They would never send samples. And then once I would get to Paris and try on the samples they’d be like, ‘Oh wait, she actually fits in our stuff.’ So I don’t know how to convince the guy that owns the original Marilyn dress that I’m a shape-shifter. This has a stretch and the original doesn’t have stretch. I’ve got one shot and I just f***ing ate. The backup plan is I’ll be in my SKIMs pajamas at home eating.”

Kim was thrilled when the gown not solely match, however was additionally just a little huge on her. “I’m one step closer to bringing my vision to life,” she gushed. “Ever since I did the Balenciaga look, covered from head to toe, it changed the way I feel about looking pretty on a red carpet, especially for the Met. It’s not just about looking pretty. It has to be a story. It has to be a whole vibe. This dress is such a good story.”

However, Kim quickly obtained the prospect to strive on the true gown..and it didn’t match. “They just pulled the whole thing from me and I’m fuming,” she advised her sisters over lunch. “I had to try the prototype first to see if it fit and once it fit they sent the original and when I went to put it on it wouldn’t even go up over my hips. I was just devastated. I was so prepared to go that it’s going to make me so sad to not go. If they don’t let me wear the dress, no, [I’m not going]. I wrote them a groveling, begging E-mail. But they were very firm. They said, ‘We can’t get insurance,’ I’m like, ‘We’ll get insurance.’ I have an answer for everything and they’re just like…no. I just found that out today and I’m devastated.”

Kim wasn’t keen to surrender although. She stated she needed to try to lose ten kilos earlier than the Met and try and have them let her strive the gown on once more. “I have about three weeks to fit into this dress,” she stated, as a montage of her figuring out performed onscreen. “I’m going to do every last thing I can to try to make this happen. It’s going to be really hard and I’m going to have to eat so clean and so perfect and cut out sugar, which is so hard for me. I’m not going to take no for an answer.”

Obviously, Kim DID find yourself sporting the Marilyn gown to the Met, however we’ll have to attend and see how she lastly will get the proprietor to come back round!
