Marilyn Monroe's Ten Best Style Moments

This orange piece framed Monroe’s body perfectly and was one of the many outfits that captivated viewers in the movie. The 1953 film also starred Jane Russell and went on to pull $5.3 million at the box office.

Honestly, we could make a whole separate article about the looks served in this film. If you looked at this dress and said “Wow,” you certainly weren’t alone. One can only dream of having something like this in their wardrobe, and if you haven’t seen Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, you should definitely check it out as the movie is excellent.

Yes, that dress. This white halter dress that Monroe wore during her 1955 film The Seven Year Itch has been voted by many to be her best fashion moment ever. Whether you agree or not, it certainly is legendary.

Ah, the iconic “Happy Birthday Mr. President” dress. As if her acting moments weren’t groundbreaking enough, Monroe also has legendary songs and performances as well. Taking to the stage to serenade President John F. Kennedy for his 45th birthday celebration, Monroe also wore a gold shimmery dress that we’ve often only seen in black and white.

While the glamorous dresses were definitely a staple in Marilyn’s closet, she could also give you simple ones. Putting together a nice look that can be replicated for the Fall, Monroe wore a simple black turtleneck and plaid pants in this shoot.

And of course, a white blouse and jeans look has never failed any woman through the history of time. Ever.

Gowns. Beautiful Gowns. Don’t y’all agree that this is a stunning gown? While Monroe effortlessly gave sultrily, she could give Disney Princess just as easily.

It’s unbelievable how many times this dress has been duped. This is classic vintage Marilyn Monroe at her peak. It appears this dress was worn to the 1953 Photoplay Gold Medal Awards.

And if you’re nominated for a Golden Globe, you have to arrive at the ceremony in fashion darling. That’s exactly what Ms. Monroe did, wearing an elegant black dress with a hint of shimmer.

Perhaps no other Marilyn Monroe look has been recreated more than this one. From Madonna’s “Material Girl,” to Kylie Jenner, this look has remained powerful through the decades.
