Quick Facts for some Marilyn Monroe Style

Marilyn's Favoured Colours - Beige, Red, Black, Cream and White

Favourite Designers - Marilyn's favorite store was Bloomingdale's and her preferred shoe designer was Salvatore Ferragamo

Key Item - A halter neck dress - white ones will forever be reminiscent of Marilyn thanks to her famous scene in The Seven Year Itch

Secret Essential - A bullet bra, this will help you create Marilyn's 50s style sweater girl look perfectly.

Marilyn barely ever wore bright colours in her real life, almost always opting for the shades listed above. Her famous pink dress, worn in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, 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 and almost always with a sweater to match.

Marilyn always added a feminine touch to her clothes, by using accessories like bows, or polka dot prints (like in the above picture with Jane Russell).

A white fur wrap is another essential, as it's something you can wear it with any dress and add an instant touch of glamour, like Marilyn did. Although hers might've been real, try to make sure its faux fur you go for.

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

And, 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. A few similar styles -
