Marilyn was known for her glamorous and elgant fashion sense and even today years after her death, the fashion world still highly regards her influence and celebrities have paid tribute to her by channeling her looks or even by wearing her gowns, like Kim Kardashian recently did.

Creating an image that would be copied by scores of stars that came after her, Marilyn slipped into a hot pink gown for her role in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", the film that made the song "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" a hit.

But it was the white halter that the megastar wore in the 1955 classic 'The Seven Year Itch' that would become one of the most famous dresses of all time.

Playing the role of demure wife, Marilyn chose a simple black suit with white mink trim for her surprise wedding in 1954 to Yankee baseball player Joe DiMaggio.
