1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: This is jam Nation. Well, lots of amazing frocks and

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: outfits at the Met gala yesterday. This is their art

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: museum and every year they have a big, splashy theme

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: and people go over the top and look like kooks.

5
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: That's pretty much the summation pretty much. But Kim Kardashian

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: decided to wear well, the theme, I can't remember what

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: the theme was, but it's sort of homage to America

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: is always the underlying theme, really, and she thought the

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: most American outfit you could ever have was the dress

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: that Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang Happy Birthday, missed

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: a President to JFK and his wife sitting beside him

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: stony faced. Probably knew that they were having an affair.

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: But she looked extraordinary, and as you said earlier, she'd

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: been sewn into that dress. Her figure looked amazing. Well,

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian wanted to wear that very dress. So how

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: does that work? Well? It had been sold various times

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: throughout the years, and it is the world's most expensive dress.

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: It holds the record for that the most expensive dress

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: sold at auction, as reported by Vogue. Last time it

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: was sold, it was four and a half million. It's

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: normally stored in a temperature controlled vault at Ripley's Believe

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it or Not Museum in Orlando, So she had to

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: make overtures to them to say I'd like to wear

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: that actual dress. So all of that was done, blah

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: blah blah. But she tried the dress on, and you

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: think that, as Kim says, Marilyn's curvy, but not in

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: the same place as that, I'm curvy, like the Kardashians

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: have wide hips. So when she tried the dress on,

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: it didn't fit. So she had two choices. There were

30
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: a couple of months to go to the gala. She

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: could either slim down to fit into the dress or

32
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: find something else to wear. So in the weeks that followed,

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: she adhered to the very strict diet. She wore a

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: sauna suit twice a day, ran on her treadmill, cut

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: out sugar and all carbs, only ate the cleanest vegetables

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: and protein, and she lost seven and a half kilos

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: in three weeks. She didn't wring max markson and get

38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: celebrity slim. You know how about celebrity sulim mahaja. That's

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: a regime he's in prison, so he's on limitted calories.

40
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: So a month later, after the first time she tried

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: it on, she flew to Orlando opened the Ripley's Believe

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: it or not vault headed man, I'll wear that too,

43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: And this time around the dress fit her like a glove.

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: She said, I wanted to cry tears of joy when

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: it went up. But the whu ha ha, the brew haha,

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: and the craziness of how she could actually wear it.

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: This was a very valuable dress. She couldn't eat in it,

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: she couldn't dance in it, she couldn't sit down in it,

49
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: so she only wore it for a few minutes. This

50
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 1: is the fragile nature and historical value of the dress.

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: So once she got to the top of the stairs

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: after red carp she changed into a replica. But she

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: left a hotel in a dressing gown with barricade set

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: up to obscure with a view from any paparazzi. She

55
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: arrived at a small fitting room by the Metgala steps

56
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: specially organized for this, so that's where a conservationist from

57
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Ripley's was on hand to assist her. The conservations was

58
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: wearing white gloves. Men of the story, that person gets

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: to tell Wow, pouring Kim Kardashian into that dress. So

60
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: she successfully climbed the stairs in it, had photos taken yep,

61
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: and then wore a replica for the rest of the night.

62
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: It's an amazing story when you look at it, where

63
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: everything that's going on in the world, then there's this

64
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: and there's this, and it's captivated the world. You know,

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: it is an iconic American dress. What other options did

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: she have? There is another iconic American dress, Monica Lewinsky's dress.

67
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's back from the dry cleaner. She could

68
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: have popped that on, helped into it with white gloves, helped. Indeed,
