In the photos, Kardashian posed seductively with short, wavy, platinum blonde hair styled by Chris Appleton. She completed her glamorous look with pointy heels, evoking Monroe’s signature style. Fans went wild for the shoot, praising her stunning appearance and the uncanny resemblance to Monroe.

One fan commented, “I love these pictures of you, such amazing photos. The short blonde fits you so well… Keep doing your thing girl, forget the haters,” while another wrote, “Beyond sexy,” and a third added, “iconic.”

Kardashian has shown admiration for Marilyn Monroe before, famously wearing one of Monroe’s dresses to the Met Gala in 2022. She captioned the Instagram post with a shout-out to her creative team: “creative director & stylist @sokimak Photographer @michaelbaileygates hair @chrisappleton1 makeup @kalikennedy.”

The resemblance to Monroe did not go unnoticed by fans. Comments ranged from “It gives a Marilyn Monroe 1960s era vibe” to “Major Marilyn Monroe vibes,” with the Playboy Instagram account remarking on the similarity. One fan even joked, “Looks like you’re about to sing happy birthday to the president,” referencing Monroe’s iconic performance for President Kennedy.

This shoot comes two years after Kardashian wore Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress to the Met Gala, sparking controversy. She revealed she lost 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into the dress, originally designed by Jean Louis and currently displayed at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum in Orlando, FL.

Kardashian shared how she adhered to a strict diet and exercise regimen to fit into the dress, mirroring Monroe’s reported need to be sewn into the original due to its tight fit. Kim’s dedication to recreating Monroe’s look showcases her commitment to paying homage to the legendary actress.

As a reality star and fashion icon, Kardashian continues to captivate her audience by embracing and reinterpreting classic Hollywood glamour, much to the delight of her fans and followers.
