It is a stunning skintight gown adorned with more than 6,000 hand-sewn crystals by costumier Jean Louis.

The multi-million-dollar dress has rarely been separated from its original dress form, let alone worn by anyone other than Monroe. Great care was taken to preserve this piece of pop culture history. With input from garment conservationists, appraisers, and archivists, the garment's condition was top priority. Believe It or Not! no alterations were to be made to the dress and Kim even changed into a replica after the red carpet. See the unbelievable gown yourself at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hollywood is beginning Memorial Day weekend! Link in bio for tickets!" (sic)
