MESSING A GOWN
Meanwhile, Kim, 41, is still being slammed by fans who say she ruined Marilyn Monroe's famous "Happy Birthday" dress, which the Hulu star wore to the Met Gala.
The gown was originally worn by the Some Like it Hot star in 1962, to serenade President Kennedy at his 45th birthday celebration.
When Kim wore it 60 years later, fans accused her of damaging and tearing the historical item.
But Ripley's has taken to the TV star's defense, shutting down rumors that she "destroyed" the national treasure.
The star did not damage the dress, according to Amanda Joiner, Ripley's VP of Publishing and Licensing.
In an released on the official Ripley’s website, she shut down rumors that Kim had “destroyed” Marilyn’s iconic garment.
Amanda, who was with Kim on the entire day of the famous fashion event, said: "From the bottom of the Met steps, where Kim got into the dress, to the top where it was returned, the dress was in the same condition it started in.”
The article also addressed shocking the before and after photos that circulated on social media and showed damage to the dress.
It turns out that the garment was already a little worse for wear when the museum acquired it in 2016.

“A report written on the dress’s condition in early 2017 states, ‘a number of the seams are pulled and worn. This is not surprising given how delicate the material is. There is puckering at the back by the hooks and eyes,’ among other instances of damage."
Although Ripley’s acknowledges the controversy surrounding Kim’s choice to wear the dress, the article emphasised: “She did not, in any way, damage the garment in the short amount of time it was worn at the Met Gala.”
