In line with this year's Glided Glamour theme, Kardashian opted for the dress that Monroe wore in 1962 at a fundraiser for US President J.F Kennedy and the Democratic National Committee.
According to Page Six, Kim arrived at the ball accompanied by her boyfriend, Pete Davidson. The publication notes that the mother of four looked glamourous with freshly dyed blonde hair and the sheer figure-hugging dress, regarded as the world's most famous dress.
Vogue reports that Kim went through a tiresome process to be able to acquire the historic Jean Louis gown. Per the publication, Kardashian had to lose weight to fit into the custom dress. The star is reported to have completely cut out sugar and carbohydrates from her diet to achieve the look she wanted.

Kim Kardashian slammed for taking credit for freeing 17 inmates when it was 2 black female attorneys
In more Kim Kardashian news, Legit.ng previously reported that the reality television star found herself topping Twitter trending lists for the wrong reasons. A Twitter user dragged the Skims founder for taking all the credit for freeing 17 inmates in 2019.
Kardarshian, who has played an important role in fighting for prison reforms, was hailed for freeing 17 first-time nonviolent drug offenders serving life sentences.
However, reporter Lex Stylz headed to social media to share that there are other people who worked on the project who also deserve some credit. She noted that the founders of the Buried Alive Project, Brittany K Barnett and MiAngel Cody, were the ones who did the dirty work while all Kim did was finance the project.
