Marilyn barely ever wore bright colours in her real life, almost always opting for the shades listed above. Her famous pink dress was worn in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and was probably not something Marilyn would have chosen to wear in real life, even though she did look a treat.

Pencil skirts are an essential, Marilyn was hardly ever without one, she had them in lots of different colours.

Marilyn always added a feminine touch to her clothes, by adding accessories like bows, or polka dot prints-right.

A white fur wrap is another essential, as you can wear it with any dress, like Marilyn did and although hers might've been real make sure its faux fur you buy.

Other styles that'll give you the MM look are strapless or sweetheart neck lined dresses.

Also, for footwear try to find a pair of peep-toes like the ones pictured above, these are an extremely classic and versatile style, Marilyn wore them quite often.
