Kim Kardashian fears her hair may fall out after spending 14 hours dyeing her locks platinum blonde ahead of the 2022 Met Gala.
The 41-year-old Skims designer, who turned heads on this year’s red carpet in Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress, has now spoken openly about the efforts she made to achieve the look.
Ahead of the celebrity-filled event, Kardashian explained to her sister Kylie Jenner that there was a “risk” that her hair could fall out after the lengthy process.
Kardashian’s remarks were heard in a recent YouTube video Jenner shared on social media, showing the duo getting ready for the fashion event of the year.
“I can’t believe you actually dye your hair,” Jenner told her sister as she tried on her Off-White dress, adding, “You’re so brave for doing that! You’re so brave.”
Kardashian then explained how long the process had taken.
“Oh, I’ve been doing this for 10 hours now. I’m risking my hair falling out,” she added.
In an interview with Vogue, Kardashian revealed that the entire process took 14 hours. She said she wants to stay blonde for a while.
Kardashian made a stunning appearance at this year’s Met Gala, walking the red carpet in Monroe’s real dress.
The dress the actress wore when she sang “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy in 1962 is normally kept in a temperature- and humidity-controlled vault at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum.
Kardashian wore the multi-million dollar garment only briefly as she entered the Met Gala before wearing a replica for the rest of the evening.
Speaking to Vogue about the dress, Kardashian said she wasn’t willing to take any risks with the garment.
“I have a lot of respect for this dress and its significance in American history,” she said. “I would never want to sit in it or eat in it, nor would I risk damaging it, nor will I wear the body makeup that I normally wear.”
