Kim told Vogue, 'I always thought [Marilyn] was extremely curvy.'
'I imagined I might be smaller in some places where she was bigger and bigger in places where she was smaller.'
'So when it didn’t fit me I wanted to cry because it can’t be altered at all.'

As a result, Kim put herself on a strict diet in the lead up to the Gala.
She explained, 'I would wear a sauna suit twice a day, run on the treadmill, completely cut out all sugar and all carbs, and just eat the cleanest veggies and protein.'
'I didn’t starve myself, but I was so strict.'
