Remember when Kim Kardashian got the internet in an uproar for wearing Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress at the Met Gala? Well, that was only a few months ago – and it was just one of the biggest fashion debates of the year.
From Ye’s “White Lives Matter” shirts to Dua Lipa’s sheer, white dress for her friend’s wedding, here are the biggest controversial – and sometimes even offensive – celebrity fashion choices of 2022.

For the annual event, Kardashian, 42, wore Marilyn Monroe’s sparkle-covered, nude illusion gown that the late actor wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to John F. Kennedy in 1962. Though Monroe’s estate approved of the fashion moment, many others – including the gown’s designer Bob Mackie – were upset with Kardashian for wearing it. They argued that the dress is a historic garment and should be preserved.
Others, however, took issue with Kardashian revealing that she lost 7kg (16 pounds) in three weeks to fit into the dress. Even dietitians said her method was dangerous and could promote unhealthy body standards.
The controversy continued when Ripley’s Believe It or Not!, the museum franchise that lent the dress to Kardashian, posted a behind-the-scenes video of her trying the dress on. She wore gloves while touching the dress – something she didn’t do on the red carpet – and was also gifted a lock of Monroe’s hair.
2. Bella Hadid
