When it comes to fashion, the ultimate goal is to fit into your dress by any means necessary–and that’s exactly what Kim Kardashian did. Wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown that she serenaded President John F. Kennedy in, Kim Kardashain revealed during an interview that she had to lose 16 pounds to fit into the dress because it absolutely could not be altered due to its legendary status. The 60-year-old dress had been in a museum and was loaned to Kim just for the Met Gala’s festivities.
