The 43-year-old TV star's outfit, which left little to the imagination, drew strong comparisons to the iconic Hollywood sex symbol, Marilyn Monroe.

Monroe, who passed away at the age of 36 from a drug overdose in 1962, continues to be a significant influence on fashion and pop culture. Kim channeled Monroe's glamour by striking her best seductive poses, with her hair styled in short, soft waves of white blonde by Chris Appleton. She completed the look with pointy heels for added elegance. Fans went wild over the look, flooding the comments with praise. "I love these pictures of you—such amazing photos.

The short blonde fits you so well... Keep doing your thing girl, forget the haters," wrote gywminiworld. Another fan exclaimed, "Beyond sexy," while another added, "Iconic." Kim's admiration for Marilyn Monroe is well-known. She famously wore a Marilyn dress to the Met Gala in 2022, sparking both admiration and controversy. Her Instagram post for the new shoot included a shout-out to the creative team: "creative director & stylist @sokimak Photographer @michaelbaileygates hair @chrisappleton1 makeup @kalikennedy."

Fans couldn't help but notice the strong resemblance to Monroe. "It gives a Marilyn Monroe, 1960s era vibe," one fan commented. "Monroe-style elegance & sexy," said another. "So... you’re telling me this isn’t Marilyn Monroe?" one fan questioned with heart-eye emojis. The Playboy Instagram account chimed in with, "Major Marilyn Monroe vibes." Another fan remarked, "Looks like you’re about to sing happy birthday to the president," referencing Monroe's famous performance for President Kennedy in a sheer gown.

The buzz around Kim's look comes two years after she donned Marilyn's iconic "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" dress to the Met Gala, a move that stirred controversy. To fit into the historic dress, Kim revealed she had to lose 16 pounds in just three weeks. Marilyn's glittering beaded gown, designed by Jean Louis, has been on display at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum in Orlando, FL, after being purchased from Julien's Auction for $4.81 million.
The dress was so tight that Marilyn had to be sewn into it before her performance. Kim faced a similar challenge. When she initially found that the dress didn’t fit, she began to cry, knowing it couldn't be altered. Determined, she followed a strict diet, wearing a sauna suit twice a day, running on the treadmill, cutting out all sugar and carbs, and eating only the cleanest veggies and proteins.

Marilyn Monroe's hourglass figure has been a subject of debate for decades. One dressmaker claimed she was 5'5" tall, with a 35" bust, 22" waist, and 35" hips. Kim, standing at 5'2", has her own iconic measurements: "I am a size 27 jeans... My measurements are 38, 26, 39," she once said, noting that everyone carries their weight differently.
