Is Kim Kardashian pulling from the “closet” of the late great American Icon Marilyn Monroe for the 2022 Met Gala? Unclear, but the Nancy Drews on the Internet certainly seems to think so.
Here’s how it all started. Kardashian, 41, has been dropping hints about her outfit at this year’s Met Gala. Yes, she plans to show her face after her much talked about Balenciaga “shadow” moment at last year’s Met Gala. She also revealed that she cannot alter or tailor her dress, which means she’s likely pulling from the vintage archives.

In an interview with Access Hollywood at the red carpet premiere of Hulu’s The Kardashians last month, Kardashian shared that her look for fashion’s biggest night was very much up in the air because the fit has to be exact.
“It really depends if I fit into my dress, so I hope I’m going,” she explained at the time. “I think it will be up to the last minute because it can’t be tailored, so I have to fit into it like exactly.”
