Kris arrives at the event with a limp following her operation. Kris, a mother of 6, relates a tale of Khloe as a young girl. She recalls how as a child, Khloe used to think it was her dog, and she would bark at people and would lick their legs from time to time.

Khloe replies that she will not let this happen and says that she was thrilled to host a celebration for her daughter. she will not let Tristan take care of the bill.

Kim tells her designer that she would like to wear the dress of 1962 Marilyn Monroe gown which the actress was wearing to wish then-president John F. Kennedy a happy birthday “what’s better American than this?”

Kim calls the shop which bought the dress from an auction to schedule an appointment to test it out before on the red carpet. Khloe is joined by Kim in discussing the dress idea. Khloe says that she’s received invitations to attend the MET Gala before but claims that she had to stay away from the event due to her fear. Kim says that she will be taking along Pete who will portray J. F. Kennedy by wearing a suit.

Kendall confirms that she will attend the MET Gala as a Prada model and will wear one of the brand’s costumes for the event. Kim has a replica of the Marilyn dress to try and claims to be an aspiring shape-shifter and can easily wear any dress she likes.

The Episode Review

What started out as a reality program has moved away from the genre it was originally intended for and is now something unappealing. The Kardashians were a popular brand that thrived on drama, but this Hulu show is determined on presenting their family members in the most positive image it can.

It’s regrettable that the show and its producers no longer wish to speak about the real drama that takes place within the actual world.

There’s not a single mention of the Astroworld Tragedy or the follow-up to Kylie’s response to the incident. We don’t also know anything about Kanye’s recent public rants about Kim and Pete’s relationship.

The show also deletes footage of Pete and removes him from the main program to prevent more drama, which results in a very bland episode and not something that fans want to anticipate.
