Kim Kardashian looked radiant in Marilyn Monroe’s iconic gown as she hit the red carpet with boyfriend Pete Davidson at the Met Gala.
The 41-year-old was rumored to be donning the stunning dress – which the late actress wore to sing happy birthday to President John F Kennedy in 1962.
And she didn’t disappoint, making a showstopping appearance in the outfit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, complete with newly blonde hair.
The mom-of-four was glowing as she rocked up to the exclusive party on the arm of the SNL comedian, who helped her make her way up the stairs when she struggled to walk.
They put on a loved-up display in front of the cameras, with Pete keeping an arm around the Kardashians star on the carpet.
At one point, the actor – who donned a black suit and shiny shoes – leaned in to kiss the top of her head as lightbulbs flashed before them.

Speaking to pal Lala on the red carpet, Kim explained just how much hard work went into making sure she was able to wear Marliyn’s dress – which has been kept under lock and key at a Ripley’s Believe It Or Not museum, and was unable to be altered.
‘This is Marilyn Monroe’s dress it’s 60 years old. She wore this when she sang happy birthday to John F Kennedy in 1962,’ the Skims businesswoman explained.

‘I tried it on and it didn’t fit me.
‘I had to lose 16lbs to be able to fit this. It was such a challenge it was like a role.
‘I don’t think they believed that I was going to do it but I did it.’

Kim has become a regular at the Met Gala but this marks the first time that she has been joined by Pete for the celebrations.
It was also a night of firsts for the famous family as her sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian finally made their debuts at the fundraiser.
Kourtney was on the arm of fiancé Travis Barker – with the pair choosing a matching reimagined tuxedo looks, while Khloe donned a sparkly gold gown.
Kylie Jenner went all out in a huge, show-stopping white wedding dress and backwards cap with a veil – as Kendall stunned in a slightly similar black gown.
