With the 2022 Met Gala just a few hours away, fans are excited to see their favorite celebrities and their looks amidst the glitz and glam the event promises. As per the rumors making rounds, Kim Kardashian might be wearing the iconic, glittery dress that Marilyn Monroe wore in 1962 when she sang 'Happy Birthday' to President John F. Kennedy.

The rumors started floating when the 41-year-old talked about her Met Gala look at the premiere of The Kardashians in April. "It really depends if I fit into my dress, so I hope I'm going. I think it will be up to the last minute because it can't be tailored, so I have to fit into it like exactly. So we will see, if I can shape-shift for the night," Kardashian told Access Hollywood.
