Until the '60s, 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.
