Kim Kardashian slammed for ‘not being able to walk’ in Marilyn Monroe’s dress at Met Gala & gets help from Pete Davidson
KIM Kardashian was slammed for "not being able to walk" in Marilyn Monroe's dress at the Met Gala without Pete Davidson's help.
The dress the SKIMS founder wore was the same gown Marilyn wore in the 1960s as she sand to John F. Kennedy.
Kim, 41, opened up about the lengths she went through to fit into her gown in an interview with Vogue.
Although she got into it, she struggled to move on the red carpet and, more so, when faced with climbing the stairs.
Twitter users noted that at one point, Pete, 28, appeared to be gripping Kim's butt with one hand and her hand with the other while guiding her up the steps.

The Kind of Staten Island star, wearing a simple black suit, held her hand down the carpet and got a more interesting grip on his girlfriend as he helped her up the steps.
Fans on Twitter noticed the actor grabbing ahold of Kim's butt as he pushed her upward.
One user shared a series of photos from the climb, joking: "It's Pete dragging Kim up the steps of the met bc she can't walk for me!! The GRIP he has on her a**."
Another Twitter user replied: "He looks so done in that last photo."
A third fan tweeted: "Pete Davidson painstakingly helping Kim Kardashian up the stairs one step at a time is the #MetGala moment I didn't know I needed."
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum and Pete took a quick trip to Orlando, Florida, recently where the dress was being held at Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Kim shared: "I had this idea to try it on and then they came with armed guards and gloves."
At first, the dress didn't fit the mom of four's signature curves, but that didn't stop her from wearing it to the Met Gala.
Ripley's purchased the gown from Julien's Auction in November 2016, paying a shocking $4.81 million for it.
It is, to date, one of the most expensive dresses in the world.
GOOD COMPANY
Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner also attended the Met Gala.
It was the first time Khloe and Kourtney were invited to attend.
Kris Jenner was also present, hitting the red carpet before any of her famous kids.
She wore a 60s-inspired hairdo and a yellow Oscar de la Renta gown.
Chatting with E! News on the red carpet, she revealed that her look was inspired by Jackie Kennedy.
After the Kardashian momager, Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian arrived at the gala.
Khloe, 37, opted for a more subtle look, wearing a beaded gold gown that showcased her figure.
She wore her short blonde hair in a sleek style, brushed back from her face.
Kylie, meanwhile, shocked fans with her style.
The mom of two appeared at the Met Gala in an Off-White gown that looked like a wedding dress.
Khloe was criticized for being too "boring" with her Met Gala look, while Kylie was slammed for not following the theme.
Some fans seemed to think her dress was a hint that she and boyfriend Travis Scott are married.
Kourtney, 43, for her part went with a matching outfit with fiancé Travis Barker.
