Marilyn Monroe's star power is as bright as ever. My Week with Marilyn opened this week in theaters, and accompanying the movie include Monroe-inspired editorial features and also the release of rare photos of the starlet herself. One of my favorite Marilyn Monroe movies is Niagara, and I like it solely for her amazing wardrobe. She wears silk-satin wrap blouses tucked into high-waisted pencil skirts, cropped blazers and slinky lingerie, all of which show off her voluptuous figure. Of course, there are the iconic looks to note:
Marilyn's character, Rose Loomis, rendezvouses with her lover at the base of the Falls in a brilliant yellow raincoat. Try a satin-shell trench coat by Emma Cook for your day-to-day.
I took one look at this Marchesa dress from Resort 2012 and couldn't stop thinking about Marilyn and her stunning pink, off-the-shoulder dress with a cutout at the midriff. Update the tapered dress with ruffled peplum.
In the final scenes, Marilyn's character attempts to escape to the other side of the Falls in a black suit dress. Pick a sleek blazer that buttons low. It may be a dark shade, but it's far from subtle.
