No. PP said that the MM dress looks blah on Kim, and it does.
You must be joking about going platinum blonde, because that "reference" is really weak and doesn't translate.

Overall, it's a pretentious attempt with an underwhelming result and a huge stretch in following the theme.

The reference of dying your hair platinum blonde while referencing marilyn monroe is a weak reference?????? What? The woman is a FAMOUS platinum blonde? I feel like you all are stretching. Dying ones hair platinum blonde while referencing MM is more 'too on the nose' than it is 'really weak and doesn't translate' if it is anything.

NP. It doesn’t look platinum, it just looks washed out. It didn’t translate. It’s okay. Are you her stylist or something?

I'm not her stylist or even a fan. I just think you are making no sense.

We're telling you that she didn't look that good. Her idea was good, her execution was lacking. It led to a normally very striking woman looking strangely blah. What don't you understand about that?

Sure, yes, nods to MM - whatever! The point is to get there and look striking. She didn't.

That is not what you said. You said this:

It doesn’t look platinum

I'm not arguing with you about whether she looked great. I think that is totally a matter of subjective opinion. I just think it seems like you are determined to find universal and nonsensical fault. Say it is underwhelming, fine, but she wore the actual dress MM wore, which is an american historical artifact, and regardless of your thoughts of the dye job, she dyed her hair a clear homage to MM. You can say it didn't look good! Fine! But it wasn't unclear or weak, and I'm not sure how wearing the ACTUAL DRESS could 'not translate'. I'm just saying regardless of how well you think the execution is, she was clearly executing the theme, and you are like, weirdly offended I think you are making no sense. But you are making no sense calling a platinum dye job a 'weak' reference to MM.

You're responding to someone else - but if I had to guess what they meant, her "platinum" didn't look platinum. It looked orange. She might have been trying to reference Marilyn with her "blonde" hair but it was a far way off. She captured none of the sexiness or playfulness or ease of Marilyn's look - that was her whole thing; that sort of breathless, effortless sexiness. Kim looked studied and boring - she always looks like she's trying hard but she rarely looks boring. Last night she did!

This is the kind of comment that makes me think you guys are yanking my chain or something. Her hair did not look orange? What? I'm honestly not some super fan it just seems like you guys are like, saying crazy kind of silly things in criticism. The whole 80s explanation slicked back vs MM era hair made sense. But I mean, she clearly was going for platinum blonde.

Marilyn lightened her eyebrows more which helped with the platinum blonde look and she had blue eyes.

Kim's platinum blonde looked harsh with her dark eyebrows and dark, dark eyes, olive skin.

I am olive skinned, blue-eyed brunette and I can pool off honey blonde because of my eyes, but I would look sick (like Kim does) if I went platinum. That cool tone does not work well with olive skin.

No, it isn’t. All black women don’t look alike. It’s most definitely LaLa.

Different lighting - it read (to me) as more orange-y in other pics. Here it does look dyed blond, yes. She looks better overall here. Perhaps it's posture. I still think it was a bad look for her.

She looks beautiful, but the hair color does not suit her. And the hair style does not go with the dress. Kudos to her for managing the weight loss! I had no idea Marilyn was so much smaller than Kim.

Speaking of hair style, what does everyone think of Kris Jenner's flip? It's a departure from her signature short style.

Kim and Khloe had a very similar look at the Met Gala---very similar dresses and hair color. Though Khloe accessorized with black gloves, shawl on red carpet.

I think Khloe looked better than Kim. Kendall looked the best out of all the sisters. I did not like Kourtney's look and I thought Kylie's was young and playful--but not a fav.

I hate myself for saying this - but Marilyn's breasts looked much better in the dress. Kim looks like she's wearing a minimizer that is also making her droopy, maybe?

Ugh.

So I think Marilyn is braless here. Bras from that time period had a very different shape. I think if Kim had stuck to a similar silhouette it would’ve played much better. She looked like Kim Kardashian in a any old dress, she could have looked iconic. I also wonder why this particular match up. I’m sure there are actresses that are more proportionate with Marilyn Monroe.

I did not like Kourtney's look but I did think that she and Travis had a cool interpretation of the theme. Her outfit was a deconstructed version of his outfit.

Agreed. The color makes her look washed out. Compare this year's look with the 2019 look. She wore it better in 2019.

Her a&& was ridiculous in 2019, her whole body looked ridiculous honestly. Her face was fine though. I agree with the pp's about her hair color, skin tone, and makeup for this year's event. It all looks awful. I've never seen her made-up face look so unattractive. I also think slicking her hair back into a bun was a bad idea. It emphasizes her face (which does not look good). She should have done a down style.

Her makeup was the best part tbh.

Kim would have looked better with her hair down and in soft waves.

Khloe looked the best imho. Smoking hot and glamorous.

Kendall looked good, but forgettable.

Agreed with a DP that Kim should have worn her hair down in soft waves.

Kylie looked dumb. Zero class.

I’m wondering when Kourtney’s ridiculous midlife crisis will end? She looks ridiculous.

Kris looked glamorous as usual. She’s aging well.

Kim wipl be lucky if her hair does not fall out from the bad dye job.
