As a defender of Kim in this situation, this doesn't look good now. But I will say that those kinda crystals are always fragile. So fragile, even the museum worker wearing gloves could cause one to fall off when handling the dress for any reason. I've worn stuff with these kinda crystals and I'm always careful and still occasional ones will fall off or snag. Nothing lasts forever. As long as the majority of them stay on, only people with a eagle eye microscope on it are going to notice, as was evident. People need to move on. What's done is done, there's no way to take it back. At the very least, maybe this will serve as the lesson never to do it again...which extends the legacy of the dress, don't you think? Marilyn wears this iconic dress, Kim rents it out decades later and ruins it slightly causing mass outrage and then no one was ever allowed to lease out garments from museums ever again? Just trying to provide a silver lining for anyone still angry.

Holy moly, why didn't this hit the press at the time?! This is far worse. Marilyn's dress was was taken and preserved by a museum after she died, this choker was flat-out stolen and never returned! I thought that priceless royal jewels were kept under lock and key and never allowed out of their cases? Even the ones acquired nefariously? How the hell did a social media influencer get granted access to this?! Even royalty don't wear it! No shade but I'd never heard of Emma before the Met, what kind of connections does she have to allow her to do this? When people talk about how things now have "undertones of colonialism," this is what they should be talking about!

About the dress. I would understand it better if someone wore it who actually fit the dress. Ofcourse there'd be a risk of slight damage then too, but it would be beter manageble. Kim simply doesn't fit this dress by far so severe damage is inevitable. The missing crystals are one thing, the stretched and ripped fabric is what struck me ans could've been avoided. This dress is too fragile and they simply didn't care.

For people saying it’s just a dress, if Kim wanted to poke into Gaga’s archives and wear something like the meat dress, you guys would be pissed.

Same, it’s just a dress. Also not sure how respectful it was for MM to appear nearly naked in front of the president (whom with she was rumored to have had an affair??)
