The reality superstar may have exhibited her industry and social-media clout in wearing the legendary gown to the Met Gala, but costume experts and film fans are right to deride the decision as disrespectful.

That’s a paraphrase of a Jeff Goldblum line from the original, as his Malcolm lectures Sir Richard Attenborough’s John Hammond on the ethics of spawning dinosaurs in a modern world. But it’s an apt statement that unfortunately applies to too many scenarios in these times — the latest having, rightfully, sparked the fury of costume conservationists, fashion aficionados and classic-film fans alike. And most of the parties involved have ceased talking about it.

“These people are here as custodians to preserve these pieces of history, not exploit them,” says ChadMichael Morrisette, a creative director and costume expert who owns the West Hollywood-based visual-display firm Oh Mannequin. “ was taken advantage of for other peoples’ gain her entire career, and to take something that belonged to her and use it as a publicity stunt, it’s as though she’s being exploited all over again.”

I mean. You know the phrase “ridding someone’s coat tails”…? Well, we’re “wearing someone else’s dress” now!

KimKardashian has run away…. On a desert island before she broke the internet by ruining Marilyn ‘s dress… she loves attention: she got it!!!

Credo che bisognerebbe contenere il fatto mediatico che lei porta, e miliardaria ma non significa che le si possa concedere tutto, quell'abito non era solo di Marilyn Monroe, e l'importanza del contesto storico perché è stato indossato,e cosa rappresentava. Mio parere

Marilyn Monroe would have been very honored that Kim Kardashian wore her dress Whatever happened to the dress wasn't Kim Kardashians fault & the Dress Makers will restore it perfectly It's not right to trash people over: Omg something happened to a dress. It will be ok

I think the Kardashians are on their way out, 20 years of boring TV sums up their show

Why did she need to wear the dress? Can anybody answer that question?

It was widely disrespectful. I think it will be looked at as one of her bigger career mistakes. A replica would’ve been appropriate. I wouldn’t give Ripleys anymore artifacts to preserve. Next year Kim will wear the suit Jackie wore when JFK was shot.

She farted in it

why do they all lower their standards just for some of that kardashian clout? we see it from presidents to Vogue magazine. They perceive them as powerful so just lower themselves. Even certain black CNN clowns are up their ass.

They must have run out of stories at The Hollywood Reporter today.

nontroversy

So when does Bezos or Musk get to put on the Shroud of Turin?

So stop bangin' on about it so in doesn't inflate her digital cache more than it should. Crickets about her is what will do her in.

Yes Kim is all that is Evil !lol

I understand the fashion and historical communities are in an uproar…but I just keep thinking, then they should have said NO. It’s a piece of memorabilia. That stuff gets put away on display for good, not taken out to play with whenever someone wants. Whose idea was it anyways?

Who gives a shit. People are dying all over the world.

Idk why ppl are still talking about when the people who own the dress literally said it wasn’t damaged.

Celebrity messes up other celebrities dress is not something I expected you guys to try to make us care about
