As the Met Gala red carpet drew to a close on Monday night, Kim Kardashian arrived fashionably late in a sparkling skin-tight gown once worn by Marilyn Monroe. Adorned with over 6,000 hand-sewn crystals, the pre-loved dress was worn by Monroe when she famously sang "Happy Birthday" to President John F. Kennedy in 1962.

Axar.az reports that while certainly glamorous, Kardashian opted for a fairly loose interpretation of the evening's theme that centered around America's Gilded Age a period during the last 30 years of the 19th century when industrialization rapidly amplified the country's wealth gap.
