Bob Mackie criticized Kim Kardashian's decision to wear Marilyn Monroe's dress to the Met Gala: 'It was designed for [Marilyn]. Nobody else should be seen in that dress.'
earlier this month, she faced a whole lot of criticism over her choice to take such a historically significant garment out for a night.
Mackie's thoughts echo concerns from some historians who claimed that even just the act of Kardashian putting the dress on her body was enough to cause damage to its future preservation and structural integrity. TCM hostalso explained to the outlet that “There are all the issues with the actual preservation of the dress and things like oxygen can affect a dress. Usually, these outfits are kept very much in controlled environments and we see that with the Met.
Of course, Mackie's complaint might have as much to do with the celebrity wearing it as her choice in attire as he doesn't seem to be particularly impressed with the Kardashians as a whole. The famed designer previously toldin 2021, “The Kardashians are very attractive and some are downright beautiful, but they’re just famous for being famous. You know, they made a lot of money, so I guess there’s something to say about that.
