Kim Kardashian slammed for ‘blatant disrespect’ by Marilyn Monroe’s dress designer after ‘offensive’ Met Gala look
KIM Kardashian received mixed reviews when she wore an iconic Marilyn Monroe dress to the Met Gala.
But perhaps her loudest critic is the actual designer of the dress itself, who slammed the stunt.
"I thought it was a big mistake," Mackie confessed. "[Marilyn] was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess.
"She was just fabulous. Nobody photographs like that. And it was done for her. It was designed for her.

"Nobody else should be seen in that dress."
The 82-year-old was just 23 when he drew the sketch for the gown, not knowing what a piece of history he was creating.
Bob went on to share historians' concerns that wearing the gown could damage its condition and preservation.
TUSHY TROUBLES
He may be on to something, too, after a video showed Kim struggling to fit in the dress.
The Kardashians star previously claimed that she lost 16 pounds to fit into the look.
But apparently, it wasn't enough, as a new video shared by showed Kim Kardashian's butt popping out of a massive hole in the back.
In the clip, the reality star was joined by her boyfriend Pete Davidson, 28, as they visited Ripley's Believe It Or Not in Orlando, Florida.
A room full of people used their strength to get the TV personality into the dress, but it was unable to fit over her iconic tush.
"This is so infuriating! It’s so delicate that gloves must be worn while handling it but Kim is allowed to destroy it like this? Ok," one ranted.
"I don't understand her logic at all. She can't fit into the dress. She couldn't even zip it up or get anywhere near zipping it up. She struggled to go up the damned stairs in it, but I guess she is so far up her own a** that she felt she NEEDED to actually wear the dress and have pictures taken in it," a second complained.
"It was a stupid, stupid choice. All of it, and shame of vogue for having it in their magazine. I'm just stunned so many put her on their best-dressed list. Anyone that does losses any credibility in my eyes."
GOING FOR BROKE
There is further concern that allowing Kim to wear the dress actually DEVALUED it.
Ripley's purchased the nude-colored garment from Julien's Auctions back in 2016 for $4.81 million.
Fans argued that letting someone else wear it takes away from its uniqueness.
As one person said: "She definitely cheapens it. This move has me heated, sorry.
"On Marylin it was breathtaking, on this one it's just another tight dress."

Another added: "... It probably depends on who the buyer is (if it is auctioned again).
"But for the general public? Yeah, honestly I’d say it kind of loses a bit of its magic and specialness."
