Marilyn Monroe looks go up for auction


Some of Marilyn Monroe’s most famous on-screen outfits are set to go under the hammer later this year as part of a major auction in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles celebrating legendary women in Hollywood. The Hollywood actor fronted several cinematic classics in the 1950s such as The Seven Year Itch and Some Like it Hot, all of which featured memorable costumes that fans can now snap up. Among the looks up for grabs at the auction, which takes place in November, are Monroe’s floor-length red sequin gown worn at the beginning of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the price of which has been estimated at somewhere between £50,000 to £60,000. Elsewhere, Monroe’s three-piece showgirl ensemble from There’s No Business Like Show Business is also included in the auction. The ensemble consists of a black bandeau top, a floor-length floral skirt and an oversized straw hat. Another look on offer is a yellow silk floor length gown worn in the final scene of the 1954 film River of No Return.
