But Monroe was so much more than just that. Through her hard work and determination, Norma Jeane Mortenson-turned-Marilyn Monroe beautifully metamorphosed from a homemaker to a major pop culture figure. And not once did she look back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original material girl, Marilyn Monroe, would have turned 96 this year. Golden moments of her lifetime await to be discovered yet again and again, and we still cannot get enough. Glamor was her language. And she spoke fluently every time. Be it her sylphlike risqu\u00e9 silhouettes or her unflinching necklines, Marilyn Monroe&#8217;s style was definitely the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the 1950s era.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diamonds Are A Girl\u2019s Best Friend\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one else other than Marilyn Monroe could prove the above statement true. From diamant\u00e9-trimmed gowns to an ornate selection of heavy accessories, Monroe definitely made all jewels look good. On-screen, Marilyn Monroe\u2019s style was more statemental and effervescent, and diamond chokers and sparkly tiaras were her way of portraying them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her 1953 film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gentlemen Prefer Blondes<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Monroe\u2019s character Lorelei Lee sang the song of the above title, in which she juxtaposed her hot pink gown with a studded crystalline choker and bracelets. It was also in this movie we heard her saying, &#8220;I just love finding new places to wear diamonds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16090\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16090\" style=\"width: 380px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image_2022_09_20T06_50_58_105Z.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16090\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image_2022_09_20T06_50_58_105Z.png\" alt=\"Marilyn Monroe Diamonds\" width=\"380\" height=\"483\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marilyn Monroe wearing the Moon of Baroda.

And she passed with flying colors. Factors that contributed largely to Monroe\u2019s mega-stardom were definitely her iconic appearances, both on and off-screen. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dressing up in sheath silhouettes and vibrant colors just piqued her popularity more and more.

William Travilla used this to his advantage and worked his sartorial magic by creating this catchy pink gown for Monroe. This Marilyn Monroe gown was complemented with evening gloves, a knot on the waist, and a bustier fit. While this diva sang \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diamonds are a girl\u2019s best friend\u2026<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 onscreen, everyone secretly hoped to befriend not just diamonds but also Monroe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Infamous White Dress from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Seven Year Itch<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1954)<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16093\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16093\" style=\"width: 331px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/White-dress.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16093\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/White-dress.png\" alt=\"Marilyn Monroe White Dress\" width=\"331\" height=\"503\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Collection Cinema\/Photo12 via vogue.fr.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marilyn would have never been \u2018The Marilyn Monroe\u2019 if it weren&#8217;t for this silky white dress. Standing on high-heeled sandals on a subway grate, Monroe let the metro breeze do its job. Immediately ascending into a half-moon arch, there she was, candidly struggling to keep her <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/us-en\/women\/womens-clothes\/dresses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dress<\/a> down and letting cameras take a sneak peek before the mischievous moment passed. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also designed by William Travilla, this Marilyn Monroe white dress became one of the most popular cinematic representations of the 20th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 Dress (1962)<\/span><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16094\" style=\"width: 341px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image_2022_09_20T06_50_16_454Z.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-16094\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image_2022_09_20T06_50_16_454Z.png\" alt=\"Marilyn Monroe Happy Birthday Dress\" width=\"341\" height=\"466\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Getty Images via vogue.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The audience gasped at Marilyn\u2019s platinum beauty as she dropped off her white fur coat to reveal her rhinestone-studded nude fit. Jean-Louis, the mastermind behind this \u2018naked dress\u2019, definitely rewrote fashion paradigms that night. Not because it was then-president JFK\u2019s 45th birthday but because Marilyn had so easily enamored all her onlookers. Famously referred to as the \u2018Happy Birthday dress,\u2019 this contoured silhouette was encrusted with over six thousand crystals and was tailored to fetch a sculpting frame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kim Kardashian wore this historical dress to the Met Gala 2022, thus paying homage to\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marilyn Monroe&#8217;s style and resonating strongly with her unfiltered sense of fashion. While Kardashian took this infamous &#8216;Happy Birthday dress&#8217; out for a spin on the carpet, it was reported that she had caused minor damage to this monumental piece. On the contrary, Kim dismissed these reports and quoted that she was &#8220;extremely respectful to the dress.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get the Monroe Makeover!<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16095\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16095\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image_2022_09_20T06_49_30_229Z.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16095\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/image_2022_09_20T06_49_30_229Z.png\" alt=\"Marilyn Monroe's Style\" width=\"460\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Baron via vogue.co.uk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forever bubbly, mischievously pouted lips, and coiffed-up curls descending most dreamily \u2014 the signature Marilyn Monroe style.
