Why did the name Kim Kardashian come up?
The Julien’s Auction sale is scheduled for early September 2023. On social networks, someone joked, hoping that the dress would not fall into the hands Kim Kardashian! This refers to the dress of Marilyn Monroe, which the influencer wore to a gala party and damaged because it was not enough for her (despite a strict weight loss diet).
