At this year's most grand Met Gala charity dinner in fashion, contemporary legend actress Kardashian made a stunning appearance in an antique dress with 2,500 rhinestones.
The dress is 60 years old and sold for $4.81 million.
In order to wear this sexy dress, Kardashian lost 15 pounds of weight in three weeks, but in the end, she attracted ridicule, saying that she was Dong Shi Gong.
It is reasonable to say that Kardashian is also recognized as a sexy goddess, why did she overturn on this dress?
Just because the original owner of this dress is too bright, she is a generation of sexy goddess Marilyn Monroe.
In 1962, she wore this glorious dress to President Kennedy's birthday party and stunned the world...
Childhood fate is bumpy, and chance has entered the film circle
Marilyn Monroe's original name was Norma Jane Baker. Born on June 1, 1926 at Los Angeles Charity Hospital.
Her mother was a film cutter for a Hollywood film production company, but her father had always been a mystery about who he was.
Her mother had collected a photograph of Clark Gable, the star of Gone with the Wind, and young Monroe had always thought it was her father.
Monroe's mother had a family genetic psychosis and could not raise Monroe independently, so she was fostered in someone else's home shortly after she was born, but at that time, her mother was not particularly ill and could often visit her.
But when Monroe was seven years old, her mother went completely mad, and Monroe became a complete orphan.
She has since been placed under state guardianship, changed twelve foster families over the course of nine years, and spent some time in an orphanage.
Children who grow up in such an environment are generally more decadent and negative, but Monroe can "get out of the mud without staining", and from an early age is a pious and generous, sunny and sweet girl, and she is recognized as a "beautiful girl" in high school.
At the age of 16, Monroe, who was still in high school, was introduced to 21-year-old James Doherty.
The helpless Monroe fell in love with him at first sight and dropped out of high school to marry him.
After the marriage, the two were relatively happy, but the good times were not long, the continuous advancement of the Pacific War changed the trajectory of their lives, in 1944, during the war glue phase, James was called into the army, Androe also went to an ammunition factory as an assembly line worker to support her husband in the front line.
At this moment, the First Film and Television Unit of the U.S. Army Air Force sent photographers to the factory to take propaganda photos.
The photographer took a fancy to Monroe in the midst of a kaleidoscope of flowers. Later, although the military did not use his photos, he still poached Monroe to the modeling agency.
Monroe's face was indeed a "photographer's dream", and it was on the cover of hundreds of magazines in a short time.
The modeling agency saw the potential of Monroe and recommended her to the film company for an interview.
But many film companies at that time did not look favorably on her, and in the end, Twenty-first Century Fox reluctantly hired her.
But during Fox' time, Monroe spent most of her time in stage performances, singing and dancing classes, and the company basically did not let her be photographed, and then she finally won an opportunity, although only one line, but made her fall deeply in love with acting, and she began to aspire to be a movie star.
But when James returned from the army, he did not want his wife to scratch his head in public, and the two were more and more divided, and eventually divorced in 1946.
The social climbing finally appeared on camera, and the nude photo incident won the reputation
After the divorce, Monroe was determined to win a place in Hollywood, but by this time her contract with Fox had expired, so she transferred to Columbia.
At first, the company attached more importance to her and specially gave her a micro-plastic surgery, but the role played by Monroe was always not hot.
Less than a year later, colombia, which had lost patience, also abandoned her.
In desperation, while returning to modeling to make ends meet, she actively wandered between her agent and the producer, sacrificing hue to fight for her role.
Later, when Monroe recalled this sad past, she said helplessly, "Yes, I slept with the producer, everyone is like that, you don't do it, there is another girl waiting outside the door." ”
Many people say that Monroe's life is a portrayal of the American dream, in fact, where there is an American dream, behind the brilliance are lice.
Through various climbing and socializing, Monroe finally won the role for herself.
In 1950, she starred in the famous director John F. Kennedy. Houston's crime film "Night's Silence", although her appearance time is only a short five minutes, this is her first appearance in a large film directed by a major director, thus achieving the transformation from a film model to a regular actress.
Since then, her acting career has gradually become formal, and Fox has re-signed a seven-year contract with her.
After returning to Fox, Monroe has participated in films such as "Cardamom Years" and "Love Nest", in which Monroe's "sexy decorative essence" has been fully demonstrated and her popularity has increased rapidly.
At the end of the year, in the "1951 Cheesecake Miss" selection organized by the American military newspaper "Star-Spangled Banner", Monroe won the championship in one fell swoop, indicating that at this time she had become the dream goddess in the hearts of American soldiers.
But just when Monroe's acting career was going well, in 1953, a nude photo of Monroe appeared on the cover of the inaugural issue of Playboy, causing an uproar for a time.
The photo was taken by Monroe in 1949, and it was at the most embarrassing time after she left Colombia that she had no choice but to take a picture in order to get $50 to redeem the car that had been taken by the credit company.
After the incident, Fox was flustered and did not know how to deal with it for a while, but Monroe was very calm and calm, and when the media asked her what clothes she was wearing for the photo, she replied indifferently that "Chanel 5".
When the media blamed her for taking such photos, she replied "I know it's not a good girl to take nude photos, but I'm going to eat".
Monroe's frankness and tragic life quickly aroused social sympathy, and a crisis turned into a propaganda campaign, and Monroe became a household name movie star.
Fox took advantage of the situation to tailor three films for her.
In "Magic Medicine Spring Love", Monroe played Louise to establish her image as a "stupid and childish blonde" on the screen;
In "Flying Waterfall Fury", the "snake and scorpion beauty" she played became monroe's iconic shape after that: "dark eyebrows, pale skin, "shining" red lips and a beauty mole;
In "Gentlemen Love Beauty", Monroe sang "Diamond is a Girl's Best Friend" affectionately, which became a phenomenon song at that time.
Three films were more popular than the other, and at this time Monroe was already Fox's well-deserved female number one.
Both marriages were not smooth, and the love career entered a low point
At the same time as her career took off, Monroe also ushered in her second relationship.
In 1951, the famous American baseball player Joe DiMaggio saw Monroe's photo and became fascinated by Monroe, and invited Monroe to dinner many times.
But Monroe, who couldn't even tell the difference between baseball and football, was not interested in Joe.
However, under Joe's perseverance, Monroe was still moved, and on January 14, 1954, the two held a grand wedding at San Francisco City Hall.
The combination of America's greatest athletes and sexiest movie stars became the most sensational news of the year.
But even Monroe could not escape the fate of Hongjiu Gem turning into mosquito blood, and after marriage, Joe was no longer as considerate as when he pursued Monroe, but became moody, and he had a lot of opinions about Monroe's continued acting in movies, punching and kicking Monroe at every turn.
In September of that year, Dream Reveal played Billy. In Wilder's "Seven Year Itch," when Monroe's white dress was unexpectedly blown up by the wind in front of hundreds of onlookers, her and Joe's marital relationship was also blown away.
In November of that year, Monroe and Joe officially divorced, ending the marriage that lasted only 270 days.
At this time, Monroe became Joe's cinnabar mole again, and he not only continued to maintain an extraordinary relationship with Monroe, but also gave her graveyard thirty years of roses at a frequency of three bunches a week after Monroe's death.
Shortly after divorcing Joe, Monroe became acquainted with Arthur. Miller.
Arthur. Miller is a famous American playwright who has written world-renowned works such as "Death of a Salesman" and "Salem's Witch".
Although Monroe always shows herself as a brainless girl in movies, in reality, she respects knowledge very much and loves to read. So the erudite Miller soon won Monroe's heart.
But Miller was under investigation by the FBI for his sympathy for communism in "The Witch of Salem."
Monroe's studio fears that Monroe will be blacklisted and urges her to end the relationship.
However, Monroe showed extraordinary courage in this matter, and still resolutely married Miller on July 1, 1956.
Monroe, who has had two marriages, cherishes this marriage especially. For Miller's sake, she moved to the countryside, converted to Judaism, and even considered giving up her film career.
But at this time, Miller entered the bottleneck period of creation, he poured all the resentment of not writing the work on Monroe, blaming Monroe for dragging her down, but Monroe still accommodated him and struggled to maintain the marriage.
In 1958, Monroe, who was pregnant, received an invitation from Wilder to let her shoot "Passion like Fire", and after several considerations she agreed to star.
After the film's release, it received critical acclaim, for which Monroe won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, which was later named one of the best films of all time by the American Film Institute.
But Monroe was later miscarried due to overwork, and her fragile marriage with Miller could no longer be maintained, and the two eventually divorced in 1961.
After the divorce, Monroe was depressed, her health deteriorated, she needed to take a lot of psychotropic drugs every day, and even contracted a drug addiction, and her film career entered a period of decline, but her social reputation reached its peak at this time.
Amazing president's birthday party, a generation of movie stars died young
In May 1962, Monroe was invited to president Kennedy's 45th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden.
After receiving the invitation, Monroe was sincerely afraid, not only spent $1400 to make a dress with 2500 rhinestones, but also practiced singing "Birthday Song" every day.
On May 19th, the Madison Square Garden Celebration was unprecedented and full of celebrities.
After the host's three reports, Monroe dragged the long skirt slowly onto the stage, under the illumination of the light, the 2500 crystals on the long skirt shone brightly, and Monroe on the stage was like a visitor from the sky.
She took a deep breath and sang "happy birthday to you" affectionately in her sexy voice, which amazed the audience and conquered everyone in the audience, including Kennedy himself.
After the performance, rumors followed.
Some say that Monroe has always been the kennedy brothers' mutual lover;
Some say that Monroe has been forcing Kennedy to divorce in order to become the first lady;
Some say that Kennedy was angry at Monroe's performance because she acted too affectionately and exposed their intimate relationship...
As the rumors spread, in the early hours of August 5, 1962, Monroe was found dead in the bedroom of her Brentwood home by her psychiatrist.
She had just celebrated her 36th birthday on the crew two months ago.
The dream lover of a generation has since died.
She was forensically determined to have died of acute barbiturate poisoning, and her cause of death was convicted of suicide due to the absence of any signs of murder.
Three days later, Monroe's funeral was held at the Nishikimura Memorial Park Cemetery.
Monroe made countless celebrities in her life, but only a few friends came to send her off; She starred in more than 30 films in her lifetime, which is a Hollywood cash cow, but her savings were only enough to pay for her funeral expenses, and the personal belongings she left behind became a tool for her ex-husbands and lovers to get rich.
The cause of death has finally become a mystery, and the world will always remember Marilyn
Perhaps people were too reluctant to let her abandon the world so lightly, and since the day of her death, the rumors of her murder have not stopped.
Almost all the rumors are related to the Kennedy brothers. With Kennedy's death, the rumors became even more convincing.
In 1982, the police reopened the investigation, but found no valuable clues, and the case was never resolved.
But Monroe's generations of fans have not given up their efforts, and are still relentlessly searching for the truth, with the passage of time, the hope is getting more and more dim, maybe the truth will never be known...
It had been exactly sixty years since Monroe had left. How many goddesses in history are scattered, can only be passed on in the legend, fortunately there is a movie, help us leave an image of Monroe, so that future generations of us, can also see her style, from this point of view, Monroe is lucky.
Monroe's popularity and Monroe's death confirm the hypocrisy and fragility of the American dream. But that doesn't stop people from loving Monroe, who has long since shed its American cultural label for sixty years and become an unavoidable pop symbol in the world
In the past sixty years, thousands of women have become fat and thin, taken off and worn, and the aesthetics of society have changed and changed, but the meaning of sexiness can no longer get rid of the name Monroe; All kinds of stars try their best to imitate Monroe's dress, manners and charm, but there will never be a sexy goddess like her in this world.
