Marilyn Monroe wasn’t just an actress, she was an icon. The clothes she wore have gone down in history. These days, old styles (like Marilyn’s) are making a comeback. This summer, channel your inner Marilyn Monroe on the beach and at a party by following the tips below.
1. The Red Lip – Invest in a red lip color this summer that goes with your skin color. Instead of a shine, try a matte color to keep the classic look fresh and modern. Wear the lip color everywhere. Sometimes all you need is a touch of lip color to complete a look. Below, Lupita Nyong’o wears a liquid lip color by Lipstick Queen.
2. The White Dress – Nothing says “Marilyn” like a flowing white dress. Again, keep your look fresh by choosing a style with retro details but a modern length. The one pictured below is from French Connection.
3. The High Waisted Suit – Retro, one-piece bathing suits are making a comeback. Channel Ms. Monroe even when you’re on the beach by choosing a bathing suit with a sweet-heart neckline that accentuates your curves. The emerald suit below is from ModCloth.com…perfect for looking glam on the sand.
