Kim Kardashian's Surprising Regret Over Her Met Gala Look Revealed

Kim Kardashian continues to reflect on her decision to emulate Marilyn Monroe at the 2022 Met Gala, expressing regret over certain aspects of her look. Ahead of a recent Met Gala, she shared insights during a vlog of her final fitting.

Reflections on a Glamorous Choice

Kardashian described her 2022 Met Gala appearance as one of her biggest regrets due to the styling choices made with her team. Despite criticisms for wearing Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress, Kardashian was mainly discontent with her makeup and hairstyle.

The reality star candidly discussed the issue with hairstylist Chris Appleton and makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, admitting everyone could have done better. She noted that they were overwhelmed handling multiple family members' looks that day.

Debate Over Hair Choices

Kardashian argued it was all about the hair, emphasizing she wanted something that closely resembled the late actress’s style. Initially wanting to wear a wig, she ultimately dyed her black hair platinum blonde after persuasion from others who advised against a more literal Marilyn look.

She expressed regret over not going for a more iconic resemblance, as seen in photos from September 2022 where she fully embraced the Monroe aesthetic for a Dolce & Gabbana event.

Lessons from Past Decisions

Reflecting on that night, Kardashian mentioned how she considered different styles after the event, even editing pictures to see how brunette or other blonde styles might have appeared. The dye process itself was labor-intensive, taking 14 hours.

For future events like 2026, Kardashian has learned to embrace temporary changes and opted for wigs instead of permanent hair transformations when revisiting a blonde look inspired by controversial artwork.
