Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson[1][2] (pronounced /mɒnˈroʊ/ or /mənˈroʊ/; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962[3]) but baptized and raised as Norma Jeane Baker, was an American actress, singer and model.[4] After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received. By 1953, Monroe had progressed to leading roles. Her "dumb blonde" persona was used to comedic effect in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden her range, and her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics, and she received a Golden Globe nomination. Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), for which she received a BAFTA Award nomination and won a David di Donatello award. She received a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like It Hot (1959).
The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially classified as a "probable suicide", the possibility of an accidental overdose, as well as the possibility of homicide, have not been ruled out. In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute. In the years and decades following her death, Monroe has often been cited as a pop and cultural icon as well as an eminent American sex symbol
Marilyn Monroe Style
Clothes
Marilyn barely ever wore bright colours in her real life, almost always opting for the shades listed above. Her famous pink dress, worn in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, was probably not something Marilyn would have chosen to wear in real life, even though she did look a treat.
Pencil skirts are an essential, Marilyn was hardly ever without one, she had them in lots of different colours and almost always with a sweater to match.
Marilyn always added a feminine touch to her clothes, by using accessories like bows, or polka dot prints (like in the above picture with Jane Russell).
A white fur wrap is another essential, as it's something you can wear it with any dress and add an instant touch of glamour, like Marilyn did. Although hers might've been real, try to make sure its faux fur you go for.
Other styles that'll give you the MM look are strapless or sweetheart neckline dresses.

Hair Style
Color- Golden Blonde
Suits- Faces with well balanced features
Works Best If- Your hair has a loose curl, or waves
Start with a layered shoulder length style, with shorter layers around the face and longer ones at the back.
Comb some gel mousse through damp hair, section and blow-dry your hair to make it smooth and straight. (If you have straight hair you don't need to do this.)
When it's dry section and mist the ends with spray gel and set with large and medium hot rollers. Remove the rollers then brush the hair forward and spray under the layers, with a Finishing Styling Spray.
Flip your hair back and work a little styling cream through, for extra bounce.

Make-Up
Here is a guide for Marilyn's trademark red-lipped looks; using the items or ones close to those she actually used herself.
First get Marilyn's glowing skin by applying some foundation, then covering it with a little luminous face powder. Marilyn used products by Anita of Denmark and Erno Laszlo.
Marilyn used 5 coats of Guerlain Rouge Diabolique, to give her that famous lip color, but that's sadly no longer available although Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick, in Insolence de Rouge, number 522 is a really close match.
To get the sultry look of her eyes work Vincent Longo Eyeshadow Trio, over the lid and up to the brow line, the Vivaldi Trio should have all the colors you need to create this look. Then add two coats of Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Mascara, for Marilyn's flirty lash look.
Marilyn's look can't be complete without red nails, to match the lips, try using Essie Nail Polish, in Garnet or Fifth Avenue, two vintage look red shades perfect for Marilyn's glamorous look.

Jewelry
In real life Marilyn didn't wear too many jewels herself, but many of her characters - like Lorelei on the right - certainly did.
The Hollywood Collection has made some beautiful and faithful reproductions of her jewels.
There are so many but the "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is a real stunner - and just like Marilyn's.
Marilyn's character Lorelei had to do some sweet talking to get hers but you don't have to do that. The sparkling rock costs $55.00.
Another gorgeous item is the diamond teardrop necklace she wore in a photo for "How to Marry a Millionaire".
It's beautiful but not so glamorous that it couldn't be worn during the day, and is also an affordable $55.

Diet And Body
To get Marilyn's shape you'll have to be born with those curves, or go through a lot of surgery - as Marilyn's shape was all down to the genetics.
But, although you might not be able to copy her shape, you can work out and stay fit in the same way she did-
Marilyn went for regular jogs in the morning before breakfast, to keep in shape-20 years before the jogging craze started.
And Marilyn also lifted weights regularly to keep her upper arms toned, she kept a dumbbell at home to do this.
Before making her appearance singing Happy Birthday to JFK, Marilyn took an ice bath so her body would look good and firm in her skin tight dress. She was said to take ice baths quite often.

One of Marilyn's most beautiful dresses was the pink-red dress she wore in the movie, Niagara. Unlike her white halter dress this look doesn't scream Marilyn but still captures her gorgeous bombshell style.
