Kim Kardashian talks about getting the red carpet ready for the extreme Met Gala 2002

Beauty is painful.

In Thursday’s new episode of Hulu, “The Kardashians,” Kim Kardashian further talked about the intense preparation process to wear the Marilyn Monroe dress on the Met Gala 2022 red carpet.

“Tomorrow is met Monday and I haven’t slept much because we had to pull all night to dye my hair blonde,” the 42-year-old style star said of achieving platinum to fully embody the late Hollywood bombshell.

“[The] the process is so tedious and annoying and a lot of it. We don’t have a shampoo bowl so we have to rinse it a million times. It is how it is. It’s a sacrifice.

Chris Appleton, celebrity hair stylist added: “Just by keeping it real, you’d think it would be more glamorous than this.”

He also said the last time he made a major color change for Kardashian, it took a whole week – but for the Met Gala, he only had two days for that to happen.

“I’ve never met anyone more devoted than Kim. She is ready to sit for 15-hour sessions, ”added the professional stylist.

During the episode, the founder of Skims also opened up about the great lengths required to wear Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President ”- on loan from Ripley’s Believe It or Not! – only for a few minutes in the Met.

“Nobody can touch me,” she said. “If someone touches me and gets oil for my dress … it’s too risky.”

And viewers can get a glimpse of the sauna outfit Kardashian used to help her shed £ 16 in just a few weeks to fit in with a historic gown that couldn’t be changed.

“I put it on and it makes you sweat; even if it’s the weight of the water, it will help, ”she explained before admitting that her weekly preparation would only be a few minutes on a Met Gala evening.

“All of that – this weight loss, dyeing your hair for 30 hours, leaving the hotel in a bathrobe, getting there, changing to the red carpet, just switching to the red carpet and then changing back into a replica dress because we can’t risk it.” sitting in it and eating dinner – that’s all for about 10 minutes of my life … that’s all, Kardashian mused.

Anticipating the slack she later received for wearing the Monroe look at the Met, she added, “I’m a little nervous that some people hate it, and I just say, ‘How dare you think he can get into a Marilyn dress’ … and I understand.”
