Kim Kardashian's fans go wild over her VERY sheer dress as she continues to resemble Hollywood sex symbol Marilyn Monroe
Kim Kardashian slipped into a very risque look for a new shoot by Michael Bailey Gates shared to Instagram on Wednesday.
The 43-year-old TV star was wearing a very sheer gown that barely covered up her assets.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians veteran was copying a look from Old Hollywood pinup Marilyn Monroe, who was best known for her films Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How To Marry A Millionaire.
Marilyn died at age 36 from a drug overdose in 1962.
Kim made her best sexy poses as she wore her hair white blonde and short with soft waves; her stylist was Chris Appleton. She wore pointy heels for added glamour.
Her fans went wild for the look saying she was stunning. 'I love these pictures of you such amazing photos. The short blonde fits you so well... Keep doing your thing girl forget the haters,' wrote gywminiworld.

Kim seems to have a deep admiration for Marilyn Monroe. She famously wore a Marilyn dress to the Met Gala in 2022.
Kim captioned the snap with a shout-out to the team behind the shoot: 'creative director & stylist @sokimak Photographer @michaelbaileygates hair @chrisappleton1 makeup @kalikennedy.'
The resemblance to Marilyn Monroe did not go unnoticed by fans. 'It gives a Marilyn Monroe tigers 1960s era vibe,' one fan remarked.
'Monroe Style elegance & sexy,' one posted.
'So.. you’re telling me this isn’t Marilyn Monroe?' another wrote with the heart eyes emoji.
'Major Marilyn Monroe vibes,' the Playboy Instagram account commented.
Another said, 'Looks like you’re about to sing happy birthday to the president.' Monroe famously wore a sheer gown as she sang Happy Birthday to President Kennedy.

The TV personality slightly crouched down to flaunt the ensemble while her platinum blonde locks were parted in the middle, and flowed down in light waves
'Marylin is that you!!?????' another asked.
It comes two years after Kim sported Marilyn's iconic 'Happy Birthday, Mr. President' dress to the Met Gala, sparking controversy.
The reality star revealed she forced herself to lose 16lbs in just three weeks in order to make it fit.
Marilyn's glittering beaded gown was designed by Jean Louis, and has been on display at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum in Orlando, FL, after they bought it from Julien's Auction for $4.81million.

Legend has it that the garment was so tight, Marilyn had to be sewn into the dress prior to her performance for the President.
Kim had the same struggle when she discovered the dress didn't fit her, and began to cry when she learned that the dress could not be altered.
The ex-wife of Kanye West told Vogue how she went on a ruthlessly strict diet deadline in order to slim down and wear the dress to the Met.
'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,' she told the outlet. 'I didn't starve myself, but I was so strict.'
Marilyn's unique hourglass figure and exact measurements have been debated for decades, but one dress maker claimed she was 5'5" tall, with a 35" bust, 22" waist, and 35" hips. Her bra size was said to be 36D.
Kim once said of her own measurements: 'I am a size 27 jeans… My measurements are 38, 26, 39. But remember I am 5'2″ and 1/2 and everyone carries their weight in different places.'
