At the recent Golden Globes, Kylie Jenner turned heads as she arrived with her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet.

Previously, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner’s elder sister, made headlines by wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress. At the 2022 Met Gala, the reality TV star captivated everyone by donning a legendary nude gown famously associated with Marilyn Monroe, a piece deeply rooted in Hollywood history.
In 1962, Marilyn Monroe famously sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden, an unforgettable performance that earned her gown the nickname “Happy Birthday, Mr. President dress.” The gown caused a stir at the time for its daring design and was recently labeled “the original naked outfit” by Kim Kardashian.
Marilyn had asked her designer to create “a truly historical dress, a dazzling dress that’s one of a kind.” The initial concept was sketched by Bob Mackie, a fresh design graduate, and brought to life by Jean Louis. Marilyn reportedly paid $1,440 for this legendary piece.
The vintage gown faced significant damage, with the fabric stretching, holes forming, and numerous crystals either dangling precariously or falling off completely. The incident ignited a wave of outrage among preservationists and fashion enthusiasts, who strongly criticized the decision to let such a priceless historical artifact be worn. Many argued that treasures like this should be preserved in controlled environments to protect them from further deterioration. Despite the controversy, the event became a defining moment in pop culture, sparking widespread discussion and debate.
