Description

- Published in collaboration with the Estate of Marilyn Monroe
- A powerful celebration of Marilyn Monroe's enduring influence
- Written by bestselling fashion writer Terry Newman
- Featuring beautiful photos of Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe's world was the stuff of fairy-tale - the orphan who conquered Hollywood and hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world before her untimely death in 1962. Marilyn Monroe Style celebrates Marilyn's impact on fashion by revealing the influence of her many iconic looks. Her wardrobe encompassed sensual femininity as well as low-key minimalism. Outfits span from shimmering showpieces such as the Jean Louis gown worn to serenade JFK on his birthday, to Pucci slacks and cats-eye spectacles. Born Norma Jeane Mortensen, whenever she 'became' Marilyn, she mesmerized onlookers with showstopping outfits that helped make her a legend, yet throughout her life the clothes she wore represented many ways of being a woman. Written by Terry Newman - the bestselling author of Taylor Swift and the Clothes She Wears - this book tells the story of Marilyn's life through clothes and is essential reading for Marilyn Monroe fans everywhere.

Critical Reviews

"The original influencer." -Air Magazine

"If you thought you knew everything there was to know about Marilyn Monroe think again. Terry Newman is a masterful writer with a forensically investigative style, revealing so much more about Monroe's role as a fashion influencer than the bombshell sex goddess in shimmering sequins, that became shorthand for her image." -Forbes

"Newman does an amazing job at giving such descriptive backstories to each film and Monroe's working relationships with her stylists, makeup artists, and designers." -The Hollywood Times
