Pete Davidson comforted Kim Kardashian when Met Gala dress didn’t fit

Pete Davidson helped calm Kim Kardashian’s nerves when Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress wouldn’t zip up just 10 days before the Met Gala 2022.

A new video, obtained by TMZ, shows the A-list couple at a fitting at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! in Orlando, Fla., with Davidson supporting Kardashian as a team struggles to get the dress over her famous derriére.

Several white-gloved curators can be seen pulling up the dress as Davidson, 28, told his girlfriend of six months that she’s “got it.”

“You’re good,” the “Saturday Night Live” star said as Kardashian — who recently revealed she dropped 16 pounds in three weeks to fit in the dress — doubted that it was going to work.

“I don’t think so,” Kardashian, 41, anxiously responded

Davidson reiterated that she was “good” and told her to “relax,” but Kardashian asked him if she needed to go to the gym.

“Relax, relax you couldn’t even get it halfway last time,” Davidson said in the video.

They couldn’t zip up the dress all the way up her butt, so they used a string to tie it at the top and a white vintage fur coat to cover that area of her behind.

“Oh my God, we can maybe make it!” Kardashian said.

The video then showed the reality star, 41, walking around in the gown and the white fur for the first time. After taking a few steps and feeling “better” about walking in it, she practiced with a platform to make sure she can walk up the steps of the Met Gala red carpet.

Davidson gave Kardashian a high-five as she held on to him before the video ends.

Davidson supported his girlfriend – and even gave her a kiss – as she donned the dress, which Monroe wore to sing to John F. Kennedy in 1962, at the gala on Monday night. As soon as they were done with photos, Kardashian swapped the precious gown for a replica.
