Watch now: Pete Davidson helps Kim Kardashian struggle up Met steps in Marilyn Monroe gown

Kim Kardashian won last night's Met Gala red carpet in one of Marilyn Monroe's most iconic dresses.

The star revealed she lost 16lbs in just three weeks to fit into the 60-year-old dress which Monroe famously wore to serenade US President John F Kennedy on his 45th birthday in 1962.

But while she wowed fans with the jaw-dropping look, Kim appeared to struggle to walk up the Met Gala steps - no doubt mindful of the historical worth behind the £4m ($5m) dress.

Attentive boyfriend Pete Davidson was on hand to gently guide Kardashian as she took those tentative steps, while several assistants also came to her aid as made her way carefully upstairs.

Fans flocked to social media to praise the billionaire reality star's look - but also commented on how she struggled to navigate the stairs in the gown.

I love @KimKardashian’s Marilyn look so very much.

But you’d think she’d have made sure she could walk up stairs at an event that requires her to… walk up a whole bunch of stairs. With cameras are going off at every second. #MetGala pic.twitter.com/28QRBWG15k

I find it so sweet the way Pete Davidson is helping Kim Kardashian to walk the stairs because her dress is so tight #MetGala
