Kim Kardashian lost 16 pounds three weeks before wearing Marilyn Monroe’s legendary “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” gown at the Met Gala in 2022. However, the reality star said she has continued to lose and shed 21 pounds. It was a no-brainer for Kardashian to lose so much weight when she was thin. “I saw it as a part, and I wanted to wear this dress,” she told Today’s co-anchors, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. “It was significant to me.”

Kardashian said she has more energy Today and does not want to lose any more weight. “I continued to eat pretty well after that,” the 41-year-old mother of four said. “I’m down 21 pounds now.” I’m not attempting to lose any more weight, but I feel better than I have in a long time. I took out so much sugar – I didn’t know how much junk food I consumed, such as fried things. And I’ve entirely transformed my way of life.”
Kardashian said that she wanted to bring Monroe to new generations. “I was grateful to have had that chance, and I’m grateful to Ripley’s for allowing me to share this experience so that it might live on,” she added. “I admire her, I realize how important this garment is in American history, and with the subject being American, I thought, ‘What could be more American than Marlyn Monroe singing Happy Birthday to the President of the United States?”
