Kim responded that 'with the theme [of the Met gala] being American, I thought, What's more American than Marilyn Monroe singing to the President of the United States?'
Ripley's Believe it or Not maintains that 'the fact remains that she did not, in any way, damage the garment in the short amount of time it was worn at the Met Gala.’
Kim said that the handlers of the dress took care and wore gloves to dress her.
