Trevor Noah blasts Ripley for gifting Kim Kardashian Marilyn Monroe’s gown: Watch

• Trevor Noah publicly blamed Ripley for the “severe damage” done to the classic Marilyn Monroe gown worn by Kim Kardashian at the Met Gala last month.
• “They were the ones who lent Kim the outfit,” Trevor said on the newest edition of The Daily Show.

“Kim certainly took a big risk and it backfired,” he said, “but Ripley’s still deserves most of the guilt because they own the garment and are in charge of maintaining it.” So, if they said it was appropriate for her to wear that, that’s on them.”

Meanwhile, the late-night presenter did not dismiss Kim’s statement, saying Kim could have exercised “better judgement.”

“The Marilyn Monroe gown is a unique piece of American history,” he remarked.

“The Met Gala happens every year. People dress like hamburgers there. You could have worn anything else,” he quipped.

Trevor continued, “If you are entrusted with a piece of American history, you better do everything you can to take care of it.”

However, Trevor admitted that he understood the temptation.

“If the Louvre called me and they said I could kiss the Mona Lisa for a selfie, I would do it,” he jokingly added.
