After being by purchased by Ripley’s Entertainment at Julien’s last November for $4.81 million – the most ever paid for a dress at auction – Marilyn’s beaded ‘nude’ dress, designed by Jean Louis for her sensational performance at President Kennedy’s birthday gala in 1962, will soon be publicly displayed in Canada for one day only, in the small town of Luseland, Saskatchewan, CKOM reports.
“Purchased by Luseland native Jim Pattison for $4.81 million in 2016 for his Ripley’s Entertainment Division, the legendary dress will be available for viewing at the community hall on July 10. Those in attendance will also have the opportunity to have their picture taken with the skin-tight, beaded gown, as well as raise money for a worthwhile community cause.”
