# Kim Kardashian and the Monstrous Mockery of Marilyn’s Legacy
Alright, buckle up. We need to talk about Kim Kardashian donning Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress for the Met Gala afterparty. There’s a difference between homage and absurdity, and that line was crossed louder than a Lambo on an open highway.
First off, props where props are due – Kim is a marketing genius. She knows how to keep the world’s eyes glued to her like she’s the center of the universe. But this time, maybe she’s spiraling right into a black hole.
We’re talking about a piece of history here. Marilyn Monroe, a legend. Her dress wasn’t just fabric stitched together – it was a statement, a moment in time that should be kept sacred. Ms. Kardashian rocking up in that dress is like someone tagging their Instagram handle on the Mona Lisa.
And let’s talk dollar signs, since that’s a language everyone understands. The dress? A cool £75,000 at auction. We all know Kim’s got deeper pockets than a magician’s coat, but the price tag on this move is hefty – and I’m not talking cash. It’s the cost of respecting history, of understanding the weight that icons carry.
Sure, flashy moves and a blitz of camera flashes is what the Met Gala is all about. It’s a spectacle, a circus show where the glitz is glazed heavier than a Krispy Kreme. But Marilyn wasn’t just glitz and glam – behind the platinum blonde hair and red lips was a woman who fought an industry that tried to chew her up and spit her out. That dress was her armor.
Kim K. strutting in that armor without a scar from battle? That’s not paying homage. That’s playing dress-up with artifacts. Imagine if someone picked up Churchill’s cigar and lit it for an Insta photo. Some things you just don’t touch.
Let’s get real. The Met Gala is about pushing boundaries, making statements. There’s power in that. But there’s a fine line between statement and stunt, between tribute and travesty.
Look, I’m all for the hustle. I respect the game. But remember, respect goes both ways. That dress deserved more than a party prop – it deserved to be honored, not flaunted.
Kim did what she does best – captivate an audience. But let this be a memo to anyone reaching into the wardrobe of history: pull out the threads cautiously. Pay respect to the legends you’re borrowing from. ‘Cause they’re not here to tell you themselves.
And to the people thinking money can buy legacy – think again. Marilyn’s got one. Kim’s building hers. But this overlap? It’s a clashing of chords in a symphony that should’ve been a classic.
Remember, there are things more valuable than attention. Sometimes, that’s silence and reverence.
Out.
