Everyone may be talking about Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe's dress at the Met Gala—but hairstylist Chris Appleton is showing beauty fans all the products and beauty tools he used to achieve her slicked-back platinum blonde 'do.
Appleton is the Global Creative Director for Color Wow—the haircare line known for its science-backed formulas and clean beauty ingredients.

Everything Appleton used to style Kim K's hair:
On wet hair—
- Color Control Toning + Styling Foam —to prep the hair and brighten the color
- Pop + Lock Frizz Control + Glossing Serum + Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray - to further prep the hair before styling
Next step—blowdry—
- The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer professional edition left Kim K's locks sleek and frizz-free.
Final step—
- The Dyson Corrale straightener and Color Wow Extra Mist-ical Shine Spray gave Kim K's hair a shiny, smooth finish.
Fully committed to the look, Kim K spent 14 hours in the chair to turn her dark locks blonde, Vogue reports. She borrowed the iconic gown, which Marilyn wore to sing "Happy Birthday Mr. President," from the temperature-controlled vault at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum in Orlando, FL.
Although it looked like a perfect fit, Daily Mail reports that it didn't zip up, so corset-like ties made for a clever emergency closure.
