A US museum has denied claims that an iconic Marilyn Monroe gown was left damaged after Kim Kardashian wore it at the Met Gala last month. Monroe wore it when she sang Happy Birthday to President Kennedy in 1962. Ripley's Believe It or Not was widely criticised for allowing the TV star to wear the fragile gown. It was so tight, Marilyn Monroe reportedly had to be sewn into it. Ripley's statement said Kardashian had highlighted the historical importance of the dress and introduced "the legacy of Marilyn Monroe" to a new generation.
