"Oh my God! I'm literally going to do some crazy voodoo *hit [to] channel her," she laughed as she began hugging the Ripley's staff. "Wow, this is sleeping with me every night," she joked before looking offscreen at boyfriend Pete Davidson and adding," Sorry babe."
On Monday, May 2, Kim wore Hollywood legend Marilyn Monroe's iconic bejeweled gown from her "Happy Birthday, Mr. Presdient" performance in 1962. The museum didn't stop at the dress and the lock of hair, though. "The Ripley’s team also filled her Met Gala dressing room with a trove of Marilyn Monroe and JFK memorabilia to help inspire her look," they continued on Instagram.
