The Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum uploaded a series of photos as she modeled in the green dress.
She also appeared to be holding a Golden Globes award in her hand.
The Gentleman Prefer Blondes actress donned the “Norman Norell dress” during the Golden Globes awards ceremony back in 1962.
Kim explained: “In my quest to find the Jean Louis hand beaded dress that I wore to the gala, I discovered @heritageauctions owned Marilyn’s iconic green sequined gown.
“Further into my research I found out that the owner of the Golden Globe that she received that evening was none other than my friend @jeffleatham.”
She concluded: “I saw this all as a sign the way that all of the stars aligned.”
In a recent interview with Vogue, The Kardashians star claimed to have “three” replicas of Marilyn’s dress.
Kim claimed to have “Monroe’s stunning green sequin number,” the “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress, and one another outfit.
She said: “I think I might just wear that one to eat pizza in my hotel room.”
THE COMMENTS
On a Marilyn Monroe fan page, confused KUWTK fans did not understand why she needed to conduct “research” on the green dress, if she supposedly already had a replica.
The fan page accused the Hulu star of lying and said: “Who is it that actually owns Marilyn’s 1962 Golden Globes gown? First you say it was @juliens_auctions then you updated your post to say it was @heritageauctions.
“But I think you think we forgot that you said you have a replica of it yourself, as quoted in your May 2 interview with @voguemagazine.
“Time to call off the charade. If you couldn’t fit into the JFK dress, which we now know, you couldn’t fit into the Golden Globes dress. The events were two months apart.”
One upset fan responded to the post: “I just have so many questions.”
Another upset fan added: “Kim’s fooling everyone.”
A third person chimed in: “The dress doesn’t look the exact same. The back is different. Was it altered?”
Irate fans were also begging the TV personality to stop copying the Seven Year Itch actress.
THE MET GALA
The TV star wore the iconic dress at the recent Met Gala, which she attended with her boyfriend Pete Davidson.
The E! star picked out Marilyn’s famous Happy Birthday Mr. President dress – which is worth up to $5million.
The popular dress was designed by Jean Louis, which cost about $12,000 back then, before Ripley’s Believe It Or Not museum purchased it in November 2016.
Kim and her former partner Kanye West, 44, share their sons Saint, six, and Psalm, two, and daughters North, eight, and Chicago, four.
