<p>Rumours of Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress getting ruined by Kim Kardashian have been doing rounds since the last few weeks. However,&nbsp;the reality TV star has recently come out to debunk the claims. This is the first time the fashionista is commenting on the allegations.</p>

<p>Reacting to the accusations of ruining Marilyn Monroe's dress that she wore at Met Gala 2022, Kim said that the claims are false and not true.</p>

<p>During her recent interview with Today, Kardashian told Hoda Kotb that the team at Ripley's Believe It or Not!&nbsp;helped her carefully put on the dress. And, that the whole process ensured that the dress stays in its original form and shape at all costs.</p>

<p>"I showed up to the red carpet in a robe and slippers, and I put the dress on the bottom of the carpet, went up the stairs … I probably had it on for 3 minutes, 4 minutes," Kim said.</p>

<p>When the interviewer asked if the rumours about her damaging the iconic dress are true or not, she answered with a firm, “No.” while crediting Ripley’s for their meticulous process that helped her get in and out of the dress.</p>

<p>"Ripley’s [and I] worked together so well; there were handlers in gloves that put it on me. It was such a process," Kim said.</p>

<p>Kim Kardashian West recently recorded new success when her line of face masks became sold out within the first hour of release. Capitalising on the coronavirus pandemic, Kim Kardashian launched a line of face masks under the name of her shapewear label, Skims.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The non-medical masks come in five skin tones and there is reportedly now a waiting list for them. But while the masks must be a success story for the TV star, it has also attracted some criticism with some accusing Kim of “casual racism”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Basically, a controversy stoked when a black model was seen sporting a lighter coloured mask that did not match her skin tone while the others in the photograph had masks that matched theirs. Netizens pointed that this was racism as it was casually denigrating that model’s colour.&nbsp;</p>

Kim Kardashian West recently recorded new success when her line of face masks became sold out within the first hour of release. Capitalising on the coronavirus pandemic, Kim Kardashian launched a line of face masks under the name of her shapewear label, Skims. The non-medical masks come in five skin tones and there is reportedly now a waiting list for them. But while the masks must be a success story for the TV star, it has also attracted some criticism with some accusing Kim of “casual racism”. Basically, a controversy stoked when a black model was seen sporting a lighter coloured mask that did not match her skin tone while the others in the photograph had masks that matched theirs. Netizens pointed that this was racism as it was casually denigrating that model’s colour. View this post on Instagram NOW AVAILABLE: SKIMS Face Masks in 5 colors at SKIMS.COM.
