Marilyn Monroe was every bit an iconic style Goddess going through the motions as a sex symbol, an actress, a showgirl and a model, making a variety of trend setting looks work for her curvaceous figure. With the 1950s inspired influences cropping up all over the catwalk and vintage making a vast revival, Michelle Williams' portrayal of the blond bombshell in Simon Curtis' new flick 'My Week With Marilyn' is a fashion Godsend with Williams breathing new life via the big screen to many of these timeless pieces.
First up, the coat, the dress, the killer heels and those all important dark shades. A must for any girl planning to step on a plane anytime soon. Michelle Williams sports an ivory trench, with a light metallic grey classic fifties dress, black heels and black sunglasses as she steps off her private jet arriving in London to be greeted by a wave of adoring fans and paparazzi. Belted camel trench from Asos Africa or a white variation also from Asos, Pencil Dress from Zara.
Then there's the high waisted knee length skirt, tappered at the waist in a rust brown shade paired with a light silk off-white shirt as Marilyn visits the Palace putting on a show for everyone around her. Put a slightly modern spin on this classic look with a round neck silk blouse to give it a younger, less working vibe. Shirt and Skirt available from Zara.
No Marilyn Monro look is complete without the glamorous sleek full length sequined gown complete with the knee high slit of course as Michelle delivers one of Marilyn's trademark seductive vocal renditions. Asos offer a great alternate, keeping it short in a metallic layered midi. Or keep it simple with Topshop's black variant. Or if you are bold, step it up a notch with a gold, long-sleeved full length gown from River Island.
Finally, to finish it all off I have inserted a Marilyn Monroe inspired look of my own creation. This amazing black maxi over-sized belted trench from Topshop's Best of British range, paired with a £49.99 eloquent and simple white dress from Zara.
All these iconic and timeless Marilyn Monroe looks and more are available online and in store via Zara, Asos, River Island and Topshop. Simon Curtis' My Week With Marilyn starring Michelle Williams is out in cinemas now.
