<p>Kim Kardashian said she can &#8220;squeeze&#8221; into any dress, calling herself a &#8220;shapeshifter&#8221; in a clip of her checking out Marilyn Monroe&#8217;s iconic gold sequin dress for her Met Gala appearance — for which she faced a ton of backlash.</p>
<p>In a clip from her family&#8217;s &#8220;The Kardashians&#8221; Hulu show, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kim-kardashian">42-year-old reality TV star</a> takes fans behind the scenes at her fitting for the sleeveless gown owned by Ripley&#8217;s Believe it Or Not! <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11379949/Kim-Kardashian-fuming-Ripleys-pull-plug-Marilyn-Monroe-dress.html">The Daily Mail</a> noted in a piece published Thursday.</p>
<p>The late Hollywood legend famously wore the gown when she sang &#8220;Happy Birthday Mr. President&#8221; to former President John F. Kennedy in 1962.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Marilyn dress is here,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-says-whatever-shes-doing-is-not-working-when-it-comes-to-dating">the Kardashian</a> explained to her stylist, Danielle Levi, as she pointed out the replica. &#8220;If this does not fit me, like, I can&#8217;t even try the original.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve Googled her measurements, I&#8217;m looking at my measurements, the width of my shoulders and my body makes me like a shape shifter, I can squeeze into anything,&#8221; she added.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Kim Kardashian fit into Marilyn Monroe&#39;s dress because she&#39;s a &#39;shapeshifter&#39; <a href="https://t.co/nZ5pXSfVYp">https://t.co/nZ5pXSfVYp</a> <a href="https://t.co/q9MftTKL36">pic.twitter.com/q9MftTKL36</a></p>

<p>&#8220;But no one trusted us for years,&#8221; Kardashian continued. &#8220;[Designers] would never send samples, and then once I would get to Paris and try on the samples, they would be like, &#8216;Oh wait, she actually fits into our stuff.&#8217; So, I don’t know how to convince the guy who owns the original Marilyn dress that I am a shapeshifter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kim also noted that the replica has stretch, while the original does not. &#8220;So I&#8217;ve got one shot… and I just f***ing ate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ultimately, the replica ended up fitting her. But when it came to trying on the original, it did not.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8216;I had to try the prototype first and see if it fit, and once it fit, they sent the original,&#8221; the reality star told her sister Kourtney Kardashian. &#8220;And when I went to put it on, it wouldn&#8217;t even go up over my hips, and I just was like devastated.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the clip, fans see that the dress won&#8217;t go over Kim&#8217;s hips. &#8220;You know what, I&#8217;ll try everything and if I really get 10 pounds down, then we&#8217;ll try it again,&#8221; the Kardashian said.</p>
<p>&#8220;If they don’t let me wear the dress, then no, [I&#8217;m not going],&#8221; she added. &#8220;I wrote them like a groveling, begging email, but they were very firm.&#8221;</p>
<p>She&#8217;s later seen in the episode working with a trainer and talking about cutting out sugar to wear the iconic dress.</p>
<p>In the end, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-hits-met-gala-in-dress-worn-by-marilyn-monroe-when-she-sang-happy-birthday-mr-president-to-jfk">Kim</a> did end up wearing it briefly at the Met Gala after sharing how she underwent a strict diet to lose 16 pounds in three weeks in order to wear it, drawing <a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/popculture/kim-kardashian-addresses-backlash-met-gala-weight-loss-rcna31669">backlash</a> for that as well.</p>
<p>Pictures later surfaced on social media reportedly showing images of the dress before and after she wore it, with reported examples of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/marilyn-monroes-iconic-dress-is-significantly-damaged-after-kim-kardashian-wore-to-met-gala-collector-claims">damage</a> to the crystals and zipper. She later responded to the accusations, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-finally-responds-to-accusations-marilyn-monroes-dress-is-ruined-after-she-wore-it-to-met-gala">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ripleys-slams-claim-kim-kardashian-in-any-way-damaged-marilyn-monroes-iconic-dress">Ripley&#8217;s</a> also blasted the claims as well.</p>
