The iconic 1962 Jean Louis gown, which last sold at auction for $5 million, suffered a noticeable tear in the right strap, lost several crystals, and showed stretching around the back seam after Kim Kardashian wore it.
On Monday, Kim Kardashian faced intense questioning under a lie detector test during the filming of All's Fair. Her co-star, Teyana Taylor, repeatedly asked if Kim had damaged Marilyn Monroe's dress when she wore it to the 2022 Met Gala.
'Did you whoop Marilyn Monroe's dress?' asked the 34-year-old singer-actress twice.
Kim, 45, and CEO of SKIMS, calmly denied the accusation each time, replying, "No."
Teyana pressed further: "So you're saying that it got to you already whooped?"
Kim responded, "I don't know how it got to me, but it's perfect now."
The questioning intensified with Teyana asking, "So when you tried it on, what was the dress giving?"
Despite maintaining composure, Kim eventually broke into laughter, admitting the financial implications:
"You're gonna cost me like $10M in insurance. Let's move on!"
Following this, Kim turned to the polygraph operator, Stephanie Jackson, who confirmed that Kim was truthful throughout.
"All of it is true," said the polygraph operator.
This episode shines a light on the risks of wearing historically valuable garments.
Summary: Kim Kardashian faced a lie detector test about possible damage to Marilyn Monroe's $5M Jean Louis gown, denying harm but acknowledging costly insurance concerns.
