Model Winnie Harlow saw the distinct correlation between Kim and the late cultural icon, writing in the comments section, "So.. you’re telling me this isn’t Marilyn Monroe?." Another commenter noted that Kim's photo sesh was similar to that of Marilyn's while Monroe was on set filming the 1957 movie "The Prince and the Showgirl" with a stuffed toy tiger. This wasn't the first time Kim took on Marilyn's persona. You may recall, Kim arrived at the 2022 MET Gala in the iconic gown Marilyn wore to sing "Happy Birthday" to President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
