Reality star Kim Kardashian appeared in the gold glitter dress Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 when she shouted “Happy birthday, Mr. President” sang for John F. Kennedy. That dress is normally kept in a temperature-controlled safe. After a few minutes of posing on the red carpet, Kardashian changed his clothes again.
Kim Kardashian said she lost over 7 pounds in three weeks to fit into the dress. “It was such a challenge. It was like a roll. I was determined to fit into this.” Kardashian had appeared on the red carpet holding hands with her boyfriend, comedian Pete Davidson. He kept it relatively simple, in a black suit.
Then other men were dressed more glamorously. Rock star Lenny Kravitz pulled himself into a corset, as did actor Ben Platt.
