Kim Kardashian anticipated all of the criticism she knew she was going to receive ahead of the 2022 Met Gala.

“All of this — this losing weight, dyeing the hair for 30 hours, leaving the hotel in a robe, getting there, changing on the red carpet, just walking to the red carpet, then changing again into a replica of the dress because we can’t risk sitting in it and eating dinner — is all for maybe 10 minutes of my life … like, that’s it,” Kim said.

Kim then admitted she anticipated people taking issue with her wearing Marilyn‘s dress.

“I’m a little nervous some people will hate, and just be like, ‘How dare she think she can step into Marilyn’s dress’” Kim said. “And I get that.”

Kim‘s hairstylist Chris Appleton then told her that she’s like the “modern day Marilyn,” but Kim doesn’t think she is.

“You know I don’t want say, ‘Oh my god yeah I’m the modern day Marilyn,’ because I don’t think that,” Kim responded.

“I love that Marilyn was a normal girl that figured it out and became the most famous woman in the entire world,” Kim explained. “It’s just fascinating.”

A producer then responded, “That sounds like someone we know.”

With that, Kim slyly questioned, “Who?” – with a grin on her face.

If you missed it, Kim addressed allegations that she ruined Marilyn‘s dress after wearing it to the Met Gala.
