Ripley's Believe It or Not! refutes claims that Kim Kardashian damaged Marilyn Monroe dress
The crystal-studded gown, which the Hollywood icon wore to sing happy birthday to U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1962, was loaned to Kim by executives at Ripley's, who own the historic piece, to wear to the Met Gala in May. Earlier this week, officials at Scott Fortner's The Marilyn Monroe Collection, the world’s largest private collection of Marilyn memorabilia claimed the dress suffered some damage during the Met Gala outing, sharing before and after pictures showing missing crystals and stretched fabric at the back of the gown.
