According to Ripley's, Kim Kardashian did not damage Marilyn Monroe's gown at the Met Gala.

Kim Kardashian made headlines this year for wearing a famous #marilynmonroe dress at the Met Gala – and her wardrobe is still causing a stir online more than a month later, with some people claiming that she destroyed the dress. The outfit was lent to Kardashian by Ripley's Believe It or Not, which now claims she did not damage it. 

Kardashian went into great detail about how she got the garment from Ripley's, which offers a number of pop culture artefacts and other memorabilia exhibits across the United States. She also mentioned how, despite decreasing weight, it didn't fit quite right when she tried it on. 

As a result, she didn't zip it all the way up and instead covered her back with a fur stole on the red carpet. That's all there is to it; she simply wore it on the red carpet. 

To avoid damaging the glittering dress Monroe wore when she sang "Happy Birthday" to President John F. Kennedy, the reality personality and businesswoman slipped it on exactly before she hit the Met's steps and took it off right when she got inside. Once entering the Met Gala, #kimkardashian changed into a copy of the gown. 

However, some on social media claimed that she had harmed it. Images of the dress "before" and "after" Kardashian wore it began to spread on the internet, with rumours that she tore a seam and lost some of the outfit's diamonds. 

However, the dress's original source has responded to the rumours. "You've been heard! The purported damage to Marilyn Monroe's renowned 'Happy Birthday' dress from 1962, which was not directly caused by Kim Kardashian's trip up the Metropolitan Museum's stairs at this year's #metgala, has generated quite a stir "Ripley's published a photo on Instagram. 

"Ripley's decision to give this garment a Met Gala moment has been fiercely debated, so we're here to clear the air," the post says. Several information regarding the garment were revealed by Ripley's, including a 2017 report that indicated "a number of seams are ripped and worn."
According to Ripley's, the tears are unsurprising considering the fragile nature of the fabric. 

While wearing it was "a calculated risk," Ripley's said it has been collecting pop culture items for over 100 years and its purpose is to educate and entertain. That's exactly what the debate about the dress did. "The historical significance of the clothing has not been eliminated, but rather underlined, regardless of which side of the issue you are on," Ripley's added. 

Kardashian did not pay for the dress she borrowed from Ripley's Orlando store, but she did make two generous donations on behalf of the firm to nonprofits in the Orlando area, according to the post. 

The outfit was purchased at a private auction by Ripley's. They speculated that "the outfit could have been hidden up in a private collection, unable to communicate its narrative." "Instead, because to this Met Gala moment, it has toured several Ripley's attractions throughout the world and been introduced to a new generation."
