Did Marilyn Monroe dress get damaged?
Yes, Marilyn Monroe’s iconic white halterneck dress that she wore when she sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to US president John F. Kennedy famously got damaged at the auction house where it was being sold in 1999.
The dress, which was described as a “sublime example of Hollywood glamour”, had been expected to fetch up to $1 million at auction but it was eventually sold for a much lower price after a man from the London Auction Rooms accidentally stepped on it.
The dress had a few wrinkle marks on it that could not be removed, even after the buyer, Martin Zweig, had it treated professionally. It is now displayed in the Hollywood Entertainment Museum in Hollywood.
How much did Kim pay for Marilyn?

What happened to Marilyn Monroe’s dress after Kim Kardashian wore it?
After Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe’s iconic white halter dress to the 2019 Met Gala, the dress went on display at Christie’s in New York to be auctioned off to raise money for charity. The auction, known as “The Price of Prestige”, was held in December 2019 and was organized to benefit Backstage High School, a charity based in Los Angeles that helps school-aged students receive a secondary education if they are unable to afford a traditional high school education.
The dress was sold to Lebanese singer Assi Al Hillani for $294,200. After the auction, it was reported that the dress was brought to Lebanon and put on display at a private museum in the city of Sidon, where visitors can see it.
Given the iconic history of Marilyn Monroe’s dress and the fact that Kim Kardashian wore it to the Met Gala, it is highly likely that it will remain in Lebanon for many years to come as a treasured piece of pop culture history.
Why didn t Kim just wear the replica dress?
Kim chose not to wear the replica dress for a variety of reasons. Primarily, it was because she wanted to honor the time and effort put into creating the original dress. She knew it would be disrespectful to wear a replica of the original design when so many people had worked hard on the original creation.
Also, she felt that the replica version likely wouldn’t hold up to the quality of the original and wouldn’t look as beautiful or special. Kim wanted to look her best on the occasion and thought the original dress was the only way to get this result.
Additionally, Kim was sensitive to the wishes of the designer of the original dress and wanted to show her respect by wearing the original design.
