In May 2022, after Kim Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe's iconic silk gown at the Met Gala in New York City (the dress that was worn by Monroe at Madison Square Garden on May 19, 1962, when she sang Happy Birthday, Mr. President to John F. Kennedy), Kennedy criticised Kardashian's behaviour and stated in an interview with Sky News Australia: "Marilyn Monroe had a moment in history and Kim Kardashian has clung on to that…she’s not an actress, she’s a reality star and I think it’s a very sad day for that dress – it’s tarnished now...Kim could have made her moment but instead she had to steal it from Marilyn Monroe – that’s sad."
