It is available to purchase now, priced at $81/£100; take a look here…
Born in 1926, Marilyn Monroe rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most famous actresses of the 1950s and ‘60s. Undeniably the “It Girl” of her era, this blonde bombshell had the winning blend of charisma, iconic style, and pure talent! This year, for what would have been her 100th birthday, we celebrate with a stunning homage to this queen of the screen, dressed to the nines in a gown inspired by an ultra-famous movie look. Elegant and chic, her pink gown gets an extra dose of drama from a massive bow and long opera gloves. With the signature platinum “Monroe bob” and stacks of sparkling jewellery, she’s ready to put on a show.
