Kim Kardashian has once again left everyone in shock after her Met Gala appearance. In case you forgot about the reality star's 2021 look, it was basically a full-body sweatsuit.
This year, Kim did a complete 180 and wore Marilyn Monroe's iconic "Happy Birthday Mr. President" dress and as you can imagine, people have a lot of opinions about it.
Now, the saga continues as a deeply personal gift given to Kim is coming under speculation.
Love it or hate it, it did exactly what she wanted it to do — spark controversy. Did she look beautiful? Of course! Was it problematic when she explained that she essentially starved herself for three weeks to fit into the iconic gown? Absolutely yes!
Hopefully, the gown has since been returned back to the Ripley's Believe It or Not! location in Orlando, Florida.
"During @KimKardashian’s Met Gala dress fitting at Ripley's Believe It or Not! HQ, our team surprised her with a silver box that contained an actual lock of Marilyn’s iconic platinum hair," the caption read.
Just like the dress, the gift was controversial.
"You ruined history and decreased the iconic image of a Marilyn Monroe historical moment!" wrote one Marilyn fan.
Kim was understandably shocked at the rare gift and personally thanked each Ripley employee for it while joking she was going to sleep with it beside her.
Now, a Marilyn Monroe historian is weighing in on the gift and is claiming it's fraudulent.
Anthony defends his allegation by pointing to Ripley's original description of the hair lock on their website, which claims that the hair was cut by hairstylist Robert Champion.
His post also includes a receipt proving that Kenneth was charged for his work that fateful night.
Honestly, I think having anyone's hair in your possession is a little bit strange, but if it's not even Marilyn's... I can't imagine what Kim thinking right now.
