The iconic 1962 Jean Louis gown, which last sold at auction for $5 million, reportedly sustained noticeable damage after Kim Kardashian wore it. The dress exhibited a sizable tear in the right strap, missing several crystals, and showed stretching around the back seam following Kardashian's appearance at the 2022 Met Gala.
During a lie detector test on Monday, Kim Kardashian faced questions from her All's Fair castmate Teyana Taylor regarding the alleged damage to Marilyn Monroe's dress. Taylor pressed,
“Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe's dress?”twice, to which the 45-year-old SKIMS CEO replied calmly,
“No.”
Teyana Taylor continued to challenge Kardashian, saying,
“So you're saying that it got to you already whooped?”Kim responded ambiguously,
“I don't know how it got to me, but it's perfect now.”Taylor then asked about the dress's condition when Kim tried it on:
“So when you tried it on, what was the dress giving?”
Despite denying any damage initially, Kardashian finally cracked her stoic demeanor, joking,
“You're gonna cost me like $10M in insurance. Let's move on!”She then asked the polygraph operator Stephanie Jackson to verify her truthfulness, who confirmed,
“All of it is true.”
Kim Kardashian maintains a delicate balance between denying and accepting responsibility for the dress's damage, highlighting the costly risks involved with handling such a historic garment.
