When told she wasn't the film's top name, Monroe supposedly quipped, "But I'm still the blonde." It was indeed though Jane Russell most were lining up to see when the film was released. She wore casual outfits with a flare, including a swing coat over a black outfit with strappy, black heels in her solo song. It is a look that translates well to a more modern style; you could wear this to the office just as easily as Russell used it to flirt with Olympic athletes!
In addition to the evening gowns mentioned, Marilyn Monroe's character Lorelei favored the dramatic even in her daywear. She wears a look composed of sleek lines and a striking high collar in the film's last scene. In another she sashes about in a leopard print cape. You could mix and match many elements of Lorelei's style for a striking outfit such as the one below- and don't forget the diamond accessories- after all, diamonds are girl's best friend!

I love your cinema style posts! That blue dress is a knockout!
Reply DeleteI was so impressed that they basically made the dress based off of her. It is even called "The Lorelei" dress after Monroe's character in this film!
DeleteWhat a chic inspiration Kristian! Totally love the leopard coat ♥

I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe! Love the diamond earrings, you can just imagine them sitting perfectly in her enormous jewellery box - now that jewellery box I would have loved to have seen too.
Reply DeleteOnce they confirmed my measurements, the dress shipped very quickly and arrived within 3 days. I tried it on immediately and could not believe how perfect it was (is)!
Reply DeleteI purchased this dress to wear to a semi-formal event. The dress arrived in an envelope, but was not too badly wrinkled. I ordered a size 10 and I am 5' 10". The dress was long enough.
