Marilyn Monroe historian and collector Scott Fortner has claimed that Ripley’s Believe It or Not gifted Kim Kardashian a “fake” piece of Monroe’s hair. On 2 May, the reality star arrived at the Met Gala in a gown previously worn by Monroe in 1962 when she serenaded John F Kennedy on his 45th birthday. The outfit choice was made possible with the help of Ripley’s Believe It or Not, who had loaned Kardashian the dress for the occasion.
