The 82-year-old costume designer, who sketched the late actress’ “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress, gave a critical review of The Kardashians star’s buzzed-about rewear of the crystal-covered gauze column gown to the Met Gala while speaking to Entertainment Weekly.

“I thought it was a big mistake,” Mackie told the outlet, in a story published Monday on Turner Classic Movies’ new series Follow the Thread, in which he appears.

“[Marilyn] was a goddess. A crazy goddess, but a goddess. She was just fabulous. Nobody photographs like that. And it was done for her. It was designed for her,” he argued. “Nobody else should be seen in that dress.”
