Vogue described the Norman Norell dress as “one of the most memorable Golden Globes fashion moments in history — that’s almost priceless.”

“To top off my night after The Met, I had the honor of changing into Marilyn Monroe’s Norman Norell dress that she wore to the Golden Globes in 1962 — where she received the Henrietta Award For World Film Favorite,” Kim wrote on Instagram.

As well as the dress, Kim also posed with Marilyn’s real Golden Globe from the event: “Further into my research I found out that the owner of the Golden Globe that she received that evening was none other than my friend @jeffleatham.”

The trophy was sold at auction in 2018 for $250,000.

“I saw this all as a sign the way that all of the stars aligned. It will forever be one of the greatest privileges of my life to be able to channel my inner Marilyn in this way, on such a special night.”

However, as Chrissy Teigen pointed out, Kim didn’t wear the second Marilyn dress in the same way Marilyn herself did — as Kim said that it “didn’t look good” without her arms through the holes that Marilyn wore at the front, making the original dress backless.

Kim also had to wear the first Marilyn dress in a different way. She wore a coat on the Met Gala red carpet, as the original dress could not be altered — and couldn’t fit over her butt.
