Kim Kardashians' Marilyn Monroe dress surges online searches by over 5000%
With experts criticizing whether Kim Kardashian's take on a Marilyn Monroe dress was appropriate to wear to this year's Met Gala - there has been a 5000%* increase in worldwide online searches over the past month for ‘Kim Kardashian, Marilyn Monroe dress’.
In defense of this George Nesnas, director of Cazaar.co.uk has provided a comment regarding why vintage clothing will never get old:
"It's understandable that Kim Kardashian has received backlash for her decision to wear Marilyn Monroe's dress to the Met Gala this year, as specific gowns have priceless history. There is nothing quite like reminiscing monumental moments and considering this year's Met Gala theme was 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion', Kim's outfit choice certainly ticked that box. With vintage clothes being the new luxury with their trendiness, sentimentality, and sometimes more affordability than modern style clothing, there is no doubt we will see more vintage looks from Kim in the years to come".
