Kim Kardashian has shared the lengths she had to go to in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s dress at the Met Gala.
It’s pretty extreme…
Now, the Kardashian family is quite well known.
They’ve all starred in one of the most successful reality shows of all time and each of the sisters has a massive influence on social media.
They’ve most certainly pushed their way to the top of the ladder.
They’re truly impressive entrepreneurs and businesswomen. Whatever you think about them, you can’t deny that they’ve done well for themselves.
Because they’ve not always been as impressive as they are now.
Sure, they’ve always had an element of wealth and fame — but back when Keeping Up With The Kardashians started, the sisters certainly weren’t the biggest Hollywood success story.
No matter what people have had to say in the past…
More and more, the family is being respected as major players, particularly in the realms of fashion and beauty.
We hear something new about their lives everyday.
The Kardashian-Jenners are never far from the headlines.
And they do get their fair share of criticism.
Yep, fans are continually calling out the sisters for donning culturally appropriating hairstyles such as cornrows.
The famous family is often very open about the plastic surgery they’ve had done, as well.
But something that fans often point out is their excessive use of photoshop.
1 person, in particular, is constantly making waves.
The second eldest of the clan, Kim Kardashian.
Who, despite what people think, is really quite clever.
Similar to her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, the star now runs her highly successful beauty empire, KKW Beauty, and has established herself as a successful entrepreneur.
She never fails to impress people, either.
Never falling short of head-turning fashion moments.
The reality star also reportedly began a 4-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco in 2019.
And she will be taking the state’s exams in 2022 in order to qualify. So, it’s technically not law school, but California is one of the only states in which you can still take the bar exam and train to become a lawyer without a college or law school degree.
Given the fact that she is hardly strapped for cash, and has 4 kids, a beauty empire, and prying paps on her plate…
It’s pretty clear that she is passionate about her future law career.
But, not everyone was on board.
The general consensus was that she should “stay in her lane” and that anything that veers outside the beauty and fashion-related spectacle she has created from her reality TV fame, is totally unacceptable for her to pursue.
Although, she has done some good for people with her law practice.
She used her celebrity status for good and managed to successfully convince Donald Trump to commute the prison sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother serving life in prison without parole for a non-violent drug crime, VOX reports.
But that wasn’t all…
The star quietly helped fund the “90 Days of Freedom” Campaign, which has helped free seventeen first-time nonviolent drug offenders and was even called by The White House to advise to help change the system of clemency.
Despite her success, though, she has faced a lot of controversy.
Remember when the star was accused of blackface?
This came after the photo shoot was for 7Hollywood was released and her skin had been noticeably darkened.
Whether it was spray tan, strange lighting, or overuse of photoshop, it’s not a stretch to say that Kim was unrecognizable.
And, people always have a lot to say about her parenting techniques, too.
Whether it’s letting her daughter, North, wear makeup or allowing her to wear hooped earrings — the parent-shamers are never far away.
Whatever happens in the Kardashian clan, we hear about it.
Kim can barely go a week without being in the headlines.
And the past few days have been no different after the billionaire beauty mogul shared what she did to fit into her dress for this year’s Met Gala.
It’s pretty extreme.
People have been sharing their opinions online after Kim revealed she lost sixteen pounds in twenty-one days…
One angry Facebook user wrote: “I feel like it’s important for people, especially young women, to know this isn’t normal, healthy or attainable for the average person. That’s a weight loss of 5 pounds per week. Why are you praising such a rapid weight loss?”
Another wrote: “This is such an unhealthy thing to be promoting it’s essentially glamorizing eating disorders. No garment of clothing is important enough to put your body through that kind of stress.”
A third commented: “I like Kim K but she’s not an icon the way Marilyn is an ICON, maybe in 20 years but this dress should have stayed in an archive or museum, it should not have been worn.”
That’s right, Kim Kardashian could be seen at the Met Gala wearing Marilyn Monroe’s famous dress.
The dress she wore when she sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” to JFK.
According to an interview with La La Anthony on the red carpet, Kim tried the dress on just 3 weeks before the event and it didn’t fit…
So she went to extremes to fit into the classic gown, losing sixteen pounds in the weeks leading up to the Gala.
Now, it should go without saying, that isn’t a healthy thing to do, and Kim will have had experts helping with her nutrition and exercise.
It’s not something anyone should try at home.
