KIM Kardashian was slammed for “not being able to walk” in Marilyn Monroe’s dress at the Met Gala without Pete Davidson’s help.
The dress the SKIMS founder wore was the same gown Marilyn wore in the 1960s as she sand to John F. Kennedy.
Kim, 41, opened up about the lengths she went through to fit into her gown in an interview with Vogue.
Although she got into it, she struggled to move on the red carpet and, more so, when faced with climbing the stairs.
Twitter users noted that at one point, Pete, 28, appeared to be gripping Kim’s butt with one hand and her hand with the other while guiding her up the steps.

The Kind of Staten Island star, wearing a simple black suit, held her hand down the carpet and got a more interesting grip on his girlfriend as he helped her up the steps.
Fans on Twitter noticed the actor grabbing ahold of Kim’s butt as he pushed her upward.
One user shared a series of photos from the climb, joking: “It’s Pete dragging Kim up the steps of the met bc she can’t walk for me!! The GRIP he has on her a**.”
Another Twitter user replied: “He looks so done in that last photo.”
A third fan tweeted: “Pete Davidson painstakingly helping Kim Kardashian up the stairs one step at a time is the #MetGala moment I didn’t know I needed.”
Someone else added: “Pete is watching Kim’s every step on the stairs like he knows he has one job. Do NOT let her fall.”
One final tweet read: “Pete..you are just gonna have to carry Kim up these stairs. Otherwise we will be here all evening.”
Kim and Pete were among the final celebrities to arrive at the Met Gala.
The KKW Beauty mogul’s famous family arrived on the red carpet long before her, posing for photos together and individually.
KIM’S SLIMDOWN
Speaking with Vogue during the Met Gala, Kim revealed the many hoops she had to jump through to fit into Marilyn’s iconic gown.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum and Pete took a quick trip to Orlando, Florida, recently where the dress was being held at Ripley’s Believe It or Not!
Kim shared: “I had this idea to try it on and then they came with armed guards and gloves.”
At first, the dress didn’t fit the mom of four’s signature curves, but that didn’t stop her from wearing it to the Met Gala.
She told the magazine: “I tried it on and it didn’t fit me. I said, ‘Give me three weeks.’
“I had to lose 16 pounds down today.”
Kim went on: “It was such a challenge. It was like a [movie] role. I was determined to fit [into] it. I haven’t had carbs or sugar in about three weeks.
“We’re having pizza and doughnut party back at the hotel [after the Met Gala].”
THE DETAILS
Marilyn’s dress was designed by Jean Louis and originally cost $12,000.
It wasn’t just tight on Kim – PEOPLE reported that the late actress allegedly had to be sewn into the dress prior to her iconic performance at Madison Square Garden in the 60s.
Ripley’s purchased the gown from Julien’s Auction in November 2016, paying a shocking $4.81 million for it.
It is, to date, one of the most expensive dresses in the world.

Kylie, meanwhile, shocked fans with her style.
The mom of two appeared at the Met Gala in an Off-White gown that looked like a wedding dress.
Khloe was criticized for being too “boring” with her Met Gala look, while Kylie was slammed for not following the theme.
Some fans seemed to think her dress was a hint that she and boyfriend Travis Scott are married.
