Celebrity Style Files: Marilyn Monroe


When it comes to Hollywood icons they don’t get much bigger than Marilyn Monroe. With her signature peroxide crop and bright red pout, famous curves and womanly wiggle, the actress is still the poster girl for old-school glamour. And no wonder – whether she was sporting that legendary white halterneck dress, draped in diamonds and fur or clad in a snug fifties sweater and Capri pants, she always looked the part – the ultimate blonde bombshell. On the eve of the release of new movie ‘A Week With Marilyn’, starring this month’s cover star Michelle Williams, take a look back at some of her most noteworthy looks…
