A costume display expert said Marilyn Monroes iconic 1962 dress has been completely altered and lost its magic moment after Kim Kardashian wore it to the Met Gala in May.

Kardashian and the dresss owner, Ripleys Believe It or Not, have been under fire after recently surfaced pictures revealed alleged damage to the dress.

Monroe wore the dress fitted with 2,500 rhinestones on a nude-colored fabric to President John F. Kennedys 45th birthday celebration, where she famously sang a sultry rendition of Happy Birthday.

ChadMichael Morrisette, a visual artist who regularly helps handle and display costumes, said he spotted the damage on a recent visit to Ripleys Believe It or Not in Los Angeles.

He later shared images of what he spotted with the Marilyn Monroe Collection.

I know the dress very well, Ive seen it many times, Ive photographed it many times, I have plenty of photographic evidence of whats different now, Morrisette, a Monroe fan, told HuffPost.
