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.
The Gentleman Prefer Blondes actress wore the Norman Norell dress to the 1962 Golden Globes.
Kim explained: “While looking for the hand embroidered Jean Louis dress I wore to the gala, I discovered that @heritageauctions owned Marilyn’s iconic green sequin dress.
“Further research revealed that the owner of the Golden Globe she received that night was none other than my friend @jeffleatham.”
She concluded, “I saw it all as a sign of how all the stars were 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 other outfit.
She said, “I think I might just wear this to eat pizza in my hotel room.”
On a Marilyn Monroe fansite, confused KUWTK fans couldn’t understand why she needed to do “research” on the green dress when she supposedly already had a replica.
The fansite accused the Hulu star of lying, saying: “Who actually owns Marilyn’s 1962 Golden Globes dress? First you say it’s @juliens_auctions, then you updated your post to say it was @heritageauctions.
“But I think you think we forgot you said you have a copy of it yourself, as quoted in your May 2 interview with @voguemagazine.
“Time to end 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 angry fan replied to the post, “I just have so many questions.”
Another angry fan added, “Kim fools everyone.”
A third person chimed in: “The dress doesn’t look exactly the same. The back is different. Has it been changed?”
Angry fans also begged the TV personality to stop copying the seven-year-old actress.
THE MET GALA
The TV star recently wore the iconic dress to the Met Gala, which she attended with boyfriend Pete Davidson.
The E! star chose Marilyn’s famous Happy Birthday Mr. President dress – which is worth up to $5 million.
The popular dress was designed by Jean Louis, which cost around $12,000 at the time before being purchased by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum in November 2016.
Kim and her former partner Kanye West, 44, share sons Saint, six, and Psalm, two, and daughters North, eight, and Chicago, four.
