Kendall Jenner, the supermodel and member of the famous Kardashian/Jenner family, found herself at the center of controversy after donning a Marilyn Monroe-inspired costume for Halloween 2023. While celebrating the festive occasion, Kendall’s choice of attire not only fueled speculation about her rumored pregnancy but also sparked a debate among her fans and followers.
Kendall Jenner took to social media to share a series of images showcasing her impressive transformation into the iconic Marilyn Monroe. However, the reaction from her fans was not entirely positive, with many expressing their disappointment.
One of the key points of contention revolved around the Kardashian/Jenner family’s recurrent association with the late Hollywood star, Marilyn Monroe. Fans couldn’t help but draw comparisons between Kendall’s costume and her sister Kim Kardashian’s controversial Met Gala outfit from the previous year.
Fan Reactions
Responses to Kendall’s Halloween costume ranged from criticism to sarcasm. Some fans questioned the repeated use of Marilyn Monroe’s image by the Kardashian/Jenner family and called for the creation of a more distinctive identity. One user commented, “Haven’t you all utilized Marilyn Monroe enough? Isn’t it time to establish your own identity?”
Another user humorously suggested, “Is the plot of the fifth season of ‘The Kardashians’ going to be ‘Kim’s anger because Kendall replicated her Marilyn look from the Met Gala’?”
A Call for Respect
Many comments expressed concern that the family’s fascination with Marilyn Monroe’s image might be seen as disrespectful to the late Hollywood icon. Some fans argued that Marilyn Monroe’s legacy should be left undisturbed, with one comment urging, “It’s truly absurd. None of the Kardashians will ever do justice to Marilyn. This family’s fixation is rather odd. Please reconsider the costume, as it is seen as a disservice to Marilyn.”
Kendall Jenner’s Marilyn Monroe costume choice has ignited a significant debate, shedding light on the ongoing fascination that the Kardashian/Jenner family holds for the legendary Hollywood icon. The controversy also coincides with rumors and speculations regarding Kendall’s personal life, further intensifying the discussion surrounding her choice of attire.
