Relaxed Chic
  • Although known for her sex symbol status, Marilyn looked beautiful relaxed in a sweater and capri's, her choice of off-set ensembles.
Sex Symbol
  • For a scene in The Seven Year Itch, Monroe donned the most iconic dress in film of all time. A crepe halter dress designed by William Travilla flew around Monroe over a subway grate at the corner of Lexington Avenue and 51st Street in New York City.
  • Monroe flew to New York City on President John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday, just three months before her untimely death. Monroe was sewn into a sheer flesh-colored dress by Jean-Louis covered in 2500 rhinestones.
