. She didn’t actually change into the dress until she was ready to stroll the red carpet, she explained at the time, before changing into a replica dress for the rest of the event. However, despite his concerns, the dress' original designer did also draw some parallels between the ill-fated, saying that they were both “very publicity savvy": "Of course, this was very much a publicity stunt that worked for Kim Kardashian. Marilyn Monroe was someone who also loved to create sensation, as she did with that naked dress. Also, they are women who have changed the ideal beauty of the moment.
