The dramatic and criticized weight loss of Kim Kardashian did not stop after it was presented in the last edition of the MET Gala with the iconic dress of Marilyn Monroe.
This was revealed by the star of ‘The Kardashians’ this Tuesday during his visit to the ‘Today’ program, where, among other things, he was honest about the loss of almost 16 pounds in three weeks to be able to wear the garment of the interpreter of ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. President’.
“I saw it as a role and I really wanted to wear this dress,” the businesswoman told the show’s co-hosts, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. “It was really important to me.”
However, Kim has continued to lose weight since the event in May.
“Since then I have continued to eat very healthy. I have now lost 22 pounds. I’m not trying to lose more weight, but i have more energy than ever. I have eliminated sugar, a lot of junk food that I ate without realizing it, like a lot of fried foods. And I completely changed my lifestyle. It actually taught me a lot about my lifestyle and my health,” revealed the founder of the SKIMS brand.

On ‘Today’, the businesswoman also denied damaging the dress in any way. “Ripley’s and I work very well together. There were assistants with gloves who put it on me. It was quite a process. I showed up on the red carpet in a robe and slippers and put on the dress at the bottom of the carpet. I climbed the stairs; I probably had it on for 3 or 4 minutes. And then I changed into a replica of the dress right at the bottom of the stairs“, he recalled.
In addition, Kim said that she is very happy that wearing the dress helped expose a whole new generation to Monroe, who died in 1962.
